    Running machines -Calories?

    Due to a business trip in the roasting hot Vietnam I’ve been forced to use the hotel gym.
    I was hoping to get out on the streets but the outside temp has been getting over 40 Deg C.
    The running machine I used today seemed to be able to calculate how many calories I was burning (This is all new to me as I really hate using gyms and running machines).
    Does anyone know how accurate these things are? I seemed to bang out over 500 calories well within 30 mins.
    Working in the scientific industry I was tempted to ask the dude at the gym to see the running machines calibration certificate.
