Did we solve your problem today?

The elliptical gives a low-impact cardio workout; effort sets the MET value.

The math behind it

calories = MET × weight × hours. Moderate elliptical use is about 5 MET, vigorous around 8.

70 kg, 30 min at 5 MET → about 175 kcal.

How do I pick the MET?

Light ~4.5, moderate ~5, vigorous ~8 depending on resistance and speed.
