They are all better for their specific use cases. The built-in "Remo" workout just estimates performance and calories based on HR.) And I use "Gymaholic" for weight-training.
CYCLING CALORIES COUNTER BLUETOOTH
(ErgData is hideously ugly, but it is Concept2's own app that connects to their rowing machines via Bluetooth and pulls actual rowing data. This obviously varies depending on your own individual weight, but on average, cycling for an hour a day burns about 350 calories, which equates to 0.1 lbs.
I use the "ErgData" iPhone app for indoor rowing. I use "Intervals" for runs with repeats/intervals. I've settled into using the default workout app for most runs and all (road) cycling. I've had the opposite problem with a few apps that I tried, in that they generated inflated calorie counts, particularly for (road) cycling. They can generate their own calorie calculations that differ from Apple's Workout app, but that still feed into Activity and Health. I'd buy 2,500, maybe 3,000.Ī third-party app is a good idea. That was a solid, moderately-intense long ride. Perhaps the relatively low speed confused the algorithm, especially if it couldn't pick up the elevation changes and fine turns on a typical mountain bike course. For mountain biking, your calorie burn would depend more on elevation changes and terrain than speed. For the most part, that's not true for running. You burn a lot more calories per mile cycling at 20 mph than you do cycling at 15 mph. For road cycling, calorie burn is pace dependent because of wind resistance. For common exercise types, the Watch has algorithms that are optimized for that exercise. What workout type did you use? Cycling? What distance did it measure for your 50k ride? When I run on mountain bike trails, I get relatively poor GPS accuracy because of the tree cover.īeyond that, the riding style for mountain biking may confuse the algorithm. I rode yesterday and recorded an outdoor cycling workout: 2:50:19 54.61 miles 19.2 mph Avg HR 123 Active Calories 2,055 Total Calories 2,338. Most non-Apple cycling apps estimate far too high a calorie count, and I believe the app produces reasonable estimates for me.
