1. What is the Burpee Weight Loss Calculator?

The Burpee Weight Loss Calculator estimates calories burned during burpee exercises based on your weight, exercise duration, and intensity level. Burpees are a full-body exercise that can help with weight loss when combined with proper nutrition.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula:

\[ \text{Calories (kcal)} = \text{MET}_{burpee} \times \text{weight (kg)} \times \text{time (hours)} \]

Where:

Explanation: The MET value represents how much energy you expend doing burpees compared to resting. More intense exercise burns more calories.

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

Details: Understanding calories burned helps with weight management by creating a calorie deficit when combined with proper diet.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your weight in kg, exercise time in minutes, and select intensity level. For accurate results, use a recent weight measurement.
