Regularly participating in cardiovascular exercise helps you to burn a significant number of calories and thus supports weight loss efforts. How many calories you will burn on a Nordic Track Pro Skier is dependent upon a few factors, including your current weight.
Weight Loss
Losing requires you to burn more calories than you consume over a period of time. For every pound of fat loss, you need to create a 3,500 caloric deficit in your week's calorie consumption.
Factors
The amount of calories that you will burn is first dependent on your current body weight. Those who are heavier require more fuel to work out and thus will burn more calories in the same amount of time as smaller people. The resistance that you set the machine and the speed at which you pedal the Nordic Track Pro Skier will also make a significant impact on calories burned.
Estimated Calories
With the equation provided by University of South Carolina's Compendium of Physical Activity, you can estimate the number of calories you burn riding a Nordic Track Pro Skier. The Compendium states that riding a ski machine is equal to seven MET's, or metabolic equivalent. To calculate your estimated calories burned, take the MET value of seven and multiply it by three and a half -- then multiply that value by your weight in kilograms. Divide that number by 200 and then finally multiply that calculated value by your exercise duration in minutes.
