I would love to know…..I usually burn around 500 calories when I work out. How does it measure how much calories you burn?

   If you put in your age and weight they can be pretty accurate. it decides how many calories you burn based on resistance and time. they are accurate enough to base your diet on

   Although I’m not sure how they do it, I know it is pretty accurate. Maybe it isn’t an exact number but it is definitely in the ball park.
