the total time is not very accurate. i fuck around a bit with my music when i start, looking for shit to play, and i also don't promptly turn it off when i'm done. the number i look at is calories burned, that's all i care about. does it matter if i burn 500 cals in 20 minutes instaed of 25 minutes?

I didn’t mean to offend, I’m creeping into late 40’s myself.
120-130 is fat burn range and 140+ is cardio.
I wouldn’t focus on calories burned as that’s just a calculation on a machine it’s not representative of your body and 500, in my opinion, is way optimistic for 25 minutes. The treadmill at the gym will tell me I did about 400ish after 60 minutes of incline walking at 130ish bpm.
End of the day you should definitely have noticed weight loss after even 2 weeks of consistent cardio if diet was consistent.
