Cardio Machines & Calculating Calories

[sare^baw's]

Some gyms i used in the past take your weight, age and height into consideration when calculating the calories you burned. I know these are not accurate but i would always use this as a guide to either burn the same or more at my next sessions.

I just joined Puregym and all of the machines dont take anything into consideration and just give you the calories burned. Is there a way of calculating with a bit more accuracy what i burned. Is there any devices or apps or websites that can assist? Im 46, 203lb, 5' 11" high. The reading on the machines just seems a lot lower than what i used to burn, because of my age etc usually what i burn is more than the standard readings.

thanks for the advice guys, its gonna be tough but ill try and ignore the calories burned, it will be strange not having a measurement of how i performed but as already said its pretty meaningless anyway.

I do try and go faster or harder etc, always try and improve on a weekly basis, i always push myself.

So when it comes to the treadmill, is running faster a better goal than using an incline, assuming i dont want to run for too long ie 2 mile is fine in a session.
