@cheychey10 I'm not going to comment on whether the calories are xorrect, but I'm going to mention that the calories burnt will be determined by the intensity of the workout, IE steps.. If one day walking faster or up hills, more calories for the same step count skill be burnt then a slower walk on level ground.
