Elliptical vs. Cardio

Former Member over 4 years ago

Prior to there being an "elliptical" app, I woud use cardio when using my elliptical. Out of curiosity, i did a basically identical workout tracking it once as "cadrio" and once as "elliptical" and noticed a bg difference (about 100 calorie burn) and wondered why? I did ask via Garmin chat and they said they do not have those metrics available and wondered what others have experienced or think?

I use a strap to measure heartrate since the builtin sensor is realy bad on elliptical, so it could be that you were lucky on cardio and unlucky on elliptcal perhaps. With the strap it is off a bit in calories, never tried cardio as alternative.
