Eliptigo

ThorBar over 3 years ago

Have you considered adding a workout / activity on an Eliptigo? The app detects it as a Bike ride, and greatly understates the intensity and calories burned.

Hi ThorBar! What kind of device are you recording your activity on?

The type of the activity has no direct impact on these values. Only the heart rate, Resting HR, and the 7days avg. Resting HR are used for the calculation. So having a specific activity type would have no effect on the umber of calories or IMs.

Trux,

That would be true…except for the fact that I have a Vivofit 4, which lacks anything HR related. It only has an accelerometer.

OK, I see, I thought the VF4 already had the HRM. In that case I am afraid you won't get any accurate Calories estimates with most sports, anyway.
