you're not going by what the machines are telling you, are you? calorie burning is varied quite a bit from person to person even if they are the same weight (which is all the machines go by)

i find my heart rate gets higher from running, but i sweat like a pig on the bike. have you tried a spin class? 5-10 minutes of no-bounce (as if you were balancing a book on your head) in the middle of the workout is torture.
