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.
The calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula:
Where:
Explanation: The MET value represents how much energy you expend doing burpees compared to resting. More intense exercise burns more calories.
Details: Understanding calories burned helps with weight management by creating a calorie deficit when combined with proper diet.
Tips: Enter your weight in kg, exercise time in minutes, and select intensity level. For accurate results, use a recent weight measurement.
Q1: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides a good estimate but individual results may vary based on metabolism, exact exercise form, and other factors.
Q2: What's the difference between moderate and vigorous intensity?
A: Moderate (8 METs) is about 8-10 burpees per minute, while vigorous (10 METs) is 10+ burpees per minute with more explosive movements.
Q3: How often should I do burpees for weight loss?
A: 3-5 times per week combined with other exercises and proper nutrition for best results.
Q4: Can I convert pounds to kilograms?
A: Yes, divide pounds by 2.205 to get kilograms (e.g., 150 lbs = 68 kg).
