A 41-year-old female asked:

How accurate is the calorie count on my elliptical machine?? If I'm working out for 30+ minutes and the calories burned says 100, can I rely on that? I understand I must burn more than I consume, but how can I calculate my burn at 5'5", 185 lbs??

I have a 57 RHR. I workout 3-4 times per week and struggle to get my heart rate into an aerobic zone. I try to burn 600 calories per workout but per heart rate monitor it takes 1:30 hours. With Bradycardia is heart rate indicative of calorie burn?
