Hi everyone, I am a new user from Santiago, Chile. Today I walked 3,8 miles for an hour. I am 59 years old and 160 pounds. For my Surge I burned 520 calories, can It be possible? In my opinión real numbers would be less than 300 calories
Thanks

Average numbers for 3.8 miles would be closer to 400 (100 calories per mile). However, the Surge also measures effort via heart rate so it is entirely possible that you burned 520 calories.

Welcome to our Community @Carecaracara!  As @SunsetRunner mentioned, your Surge also takes into consideration your heart rate. Just an additional trick, you can check your Account Setting to make sure your peronal information is properly entered (just to make sure).
