Shut up and Ride
So at the gym, I've been doing 30 mins on a bike, then 30 min's on this cardio/spin/climb machine.

yesterday Ipushed myself on the bike and according to it's readouts I burned 540 calories in 30 min's. That seems pretty high, could that be right or do you think its inflated to make you think your accomplishing more than you actually did?

Also if someone is working out next to me I usually compare my calories to there's, and i always am burning more then them.

That seems high to me. I bust my ass doing intervals for an hour and I don't think I burn that much. It's a pretty loose calculation based on weight, heart rate, speed, resistance...... so I'm sure it isn't too close but not sure what the margin of error is.
