No, after 25 minutes your calorie burn is typically around 250 – 300 calories. At 55 minutes, 450 – 600 can be expected.

No I don’t think thats possible, for 55 minutes you should be looking at a maximum of 600 calories burnt. If you want to know the exact number of calories burnt you should invest in a heart rate monitor.
850 does sound pretty high. I usually do a high-impact cardio class a couple of times a week, and it is pretty intense. Let’s just say that I could wring my clothes out after class. Even at that level, I only burn a max of around 600-650 calories for the hour. But, I will add that I tend to have a much lower than average heart rate, so I do burn a little slower than most.
My heart rate monitor typically says I burn max of around 600 calories in about an hour.
Not to say that your not getting up to 850, but my body is different. I’m not using this machine, but I workout hard.

900 is pretty high and 200-250 is far too low, I think with most ellipticals on oderate resistance we burn 300 cals for first 30 minutes and 400 for the second 30 minutes since heart rate increases.
