I thought he was "properly working out" like doing sit ups and lifting. If he's just running then yes you're right :xf1:

 

I do do situps, pushups and a few crunches etc

I'm 18 years old, male, 148 pounds, 5'11 and my current workout a day is 30 minutes on a treadmill and then i go swimming. 

I've been reading a lot about the treadmill calories burnt calculator is pretty inaccurate, even though the treadmills at my gym make me enter my age and weight etc. I use an incline of 10, and at a speed of 6 (can't remember the unit its in, but its basically a strong power walk). Even half hour it usually tells me i've burnt about 600 calories, and although i sweat and get my heart rate into the fat burning zone i'm just wondering if i actually am burning these... i also hold onto the handle bars but these have a heart rate monitor on them and the treadmill tells you to keep your hand on them, so i'm thinking that maybe the calculator automatically takes this into account and doesn't automatically think you've burnt the amount of calories you would when not holding? 

I just don't think 600 cals every half hour seems very accurate.. a little too easy? i don't know. But on the plus side i am loosing weight so yey. How many cals would you guys say I'm loosing?
