Calorie Calculation Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Calisthenics Circuit Calorie Calculator estimates the number of calories burned during calisthenics circuit training based on the MET value, body weight, and exercise duration. It provides a useful estimate for tracking energy expenditure during bodyweight exercises.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates energy expenditure by multiplying the MET value (which represents exercise intensity) by body weight and exercise duration, then dividing by 60 to convert to calories.
Details: Accurate calorie estimation helps in weight management, exercise planning, and understanding the energy cost of different calisthenics circuits. It's valuable for both fitness enthusiasts and professionals designing workout programs.
Tips: Enter the MET value for your calisthenics circuit (typically 3.8-8.0 for calisthenics), your weight in kilograms, and the duration of your workout in minutes. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is a MET value?
A: MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is a unit that represents the energy cost of physical activities. One MET is defined as the energy expenditure while sitting at rest.
Q2: What MET value should I use for calisthenics?
A: Calisthenics typically ranges from 3.8-8.0 METs depending on intensity. Moderate calisthenics is around 4.5-5.5 METs, while vigorous calisthenics can be 6.0-8.0 METs.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides an estimate based on average values. Individual results may vary based on factors like fitness level, exercise efficiency, and body composition.
Q4: Should I use this for weight loss planning?
A: This calculator can help estimate exercise energy expenditure, but for weight loss planning, it should be combined with dietary monitoring and other factors.
Q5: Can I use this for other types of exercise?
A: While designed for calisthenics circuits, the formula works for any activity if you have the appropriate MET value for that specific exercise.
