    Just a suggestion or an idea, but wouldn't it help to also post how many calories you are burning while at the gym?

    Well, I am not sure how to do that.

    For example, I did not feel like my usual intense cardio on the elliptical machine, so I just did 150 strides per minute for 35 minutes and turned up the resistance on the machine until it hurt a little, and that clever, lying Precor EXF 546 machine said I burned 505 calories. Now, how could I post up that exaggerated nonsense with a straight face and preserve any credibility here?

    Arm day last night, Preacher Curls with an EZ bar and put the 45 pound plates on, did 10 reps, 8 reps, 7 reps, and 6 reps. How many calories did that burn? I have no clue. Or the hammer curls with 50s after that? Again, I dunno. Arnold dumbbell curls? Dunno. I did lying tricep extensions with an EZ curl bar, 45s, 10s, and 2.5s on each side. 12 reps. No idea on calories. Tricep pushdowns? They can't burn much. Wrist curls? Probably negligible.

    In short I would not know how to calculate it to post how many calories I am burning at the gym.
