On exercise equipment...?!
Question: (generally the ellyiptical and stair master) what does the METS stand for. i thought it was meters until i realized that it didn't go progressively upwards like mileage.
i'd like to know what it's measuring when i work out!

I have been wondering that too! It stands for metabolic equivalents. This measures how efficiently your body is using oxygen. I read it is pretty useless unless your are an athlete or something.
Personally I don't know. Are you 20-25, 30-35, or above?
