Estimates, not measurements
All values — calories burned, METs, fat oxidation, heart-rate zones, distance, and pace — are estimates derived from population-level metabolic equations (ACSM) and standard formulas. Real-world results vary by ±10–20% based on:
- Individual fitness level, age, sex, and body composition
- Treadmill calibration and belt accuracy
- Running economy, gait, and form
- Environment (temperature, humidity, altitude)
- Hydration, recent meals, and recovery state
Heart-rate zones
The 220 − age formula used to estimate maximum heart rate has a standard error of roughly ±10–12 bpm. For accurate training zones, consult a sports medicine professional or undergo a supervised stress test.
Consult a professional before starting
If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, diabetes, joint problems, are pregnant, or have any chronic medical condition — consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program. Stop exercising immediately and seek medical attention if you experience chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue.
