Anyone use a treadmill for walking I want to test my LED's

[starstarcat]

I have a treadmill and normally do 35min 3.5k's walking on speed 6 incline 12 burn just over 900cal. I am just interested if someone else could do a test run for 35min walking on speed 6 and see what they get please.

This would really prove nothing, since calorie burn depends on your age, gender, weight, height etc. and we don't know anything about that.

Also note Fitbit has no clue about the incline on your treadmill: all it "sees" are steps, and it extrapolates your calorie burn from them, together with your personal data (above mentioned factors).

How many steps did your Fitbit (which model) count for your 35 min. walk?

Hi If I added it up right 5757

I don't know if my treadmil is not working properly or not. It takes your heart beat and I'm guessing it makes up the cal by your handgrip on it. 

Fitbit flex I have

Because your hands may not be on the sensors, or your HR may not be seen accurately, no treadmills I've ever seen or heard about base calorie count on HR, it's based on calculations, which can actually be more accurate than HRM.

The HR info is merely used to hit certain zones, and perhaps to provide a program based on your HR.

If it asked for weight, then it's likely pretty accurate, if it asked for age too, it's doing HR zones based on that.

Compare your stats from a workout to this more accurate method. Select the Gross option, and compare Fitbit too, as mentioned, it doesn't know incline.
