Understanding Calories Burned
Calorie burn depends on several factors including your weight, exercise intensity, and duration. Heavier people burn more calories doing the same activity as lighter people. Higher intensity activities also burn calories at a faster rate.
These calculators use scientifically validated Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) values to estimate calorie expenditure:
How the Calculation Works
Duration-based formula: Calories = (MET × weight in kg × 3.5 × duration in minutes) / 200
Distance-based formula: Calories = MET × weight in kg × distance in km
These formulas provide estimates. Actual calories burned may vary based on individual factors like fitness level, body composition, and exercise efficiency.
Maximizing Your Calorie Burn
To increase calorie expenditure during exercise:
- Increase workout duration gradually
- Add intervals of higher intensity to your workouts
- Incorporate resistance training to build muscle mass
- Try new activities to challenge different muscle groups
- Maintain consistency in your exercise routine
