can anyone explain this to me i have an excercise bike that has a calorie counter for 50 minutes on the bike it says that i burn 600 calories but most activity sites etc say that cycling for 21 minutes burns approx 141 calories , i know its not the bikes counter either because this is my second excercise bike the and counters say the same after 50 minutes, which one is right?does the bike really burn that many calories ?

The exercise is more likely going to be correct. It calculates speed and resistance while you ride instead of just an average like on the internet.

definatley the bike losing 141 calories is super easy. 600 is just more reasonable++ the internet usually has unlegit information and is correct facts.

I'd go by what the bike says, just remember...the faster you peddle the more you burn. "Good for you"
