Approx. how many calories am I burning on my stationary bike?

[Brown ? Eyes]

I have the type of bike with the movable handle bars that works the upper part of the body as well as the cycling working the bottom part of the body.

I have read all over that you should subtract half of what the bike says I burn but those are just with the regular stationary bikes with the handle bars that don't move.

I have to think that with working the arms & legs I am burning more calories. I don't believe that I am burning all of what the scanner tells me but I kind of believe that I am burning more than the information is telling me online.

Does anyone know for sure?

The answer is nobody knows for sure. The calories you are burning are based on several factors to include age,weight, and gender.

Using the arms might add 200 calories in an hour. MIGHT

You can better get an estimate based on your cardio level.
Say you are working with you heart rate at 150 for 1 hour. That is about 1000 calories an hour, according to the machine.
