Lets do a simple calc:
"Well established" that 100cal / mile @ pace of 5-6 mph, or "running". This means: 1 mile every 9.5-12 mins. Assumes bunch of stuff but 154lb person would burn 107 cals doing this. http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-242-304-311-8402-0,00.html
So. You spent several... units of time seated peddling your legs and burnt 516 calories.
Now. Do you feel like you ran 5 miles?
Y/N?
Oh... wait. Did you take into account how many calories you would have burnt just sitting on your ass without peddling your legs?
Guess not.
Hrm.
Lets be nice to your lard ass; http://walking.about.com/cs/howtoloseweight/a/howcalburn.htm says 5 mph at 300 lbs -> 218 calories.
So. Do you feel like you ran two miles? At 5mph? (2 miles in 24 minutes...)
Guess they're a big lie.
