How to calculate calories (burned)

The number of calories you burn while exercising is dependent on:

• the exercise you do
• your weight
• the time spent doing the activity

By multiplying the MET ^(*) value by the body weight in kg and the duration of the activity, you can estimate the energy expenditure in Kcal specific to a persons body weight. This statement can be expressed as the following formula:

So, a 70 kg individual doing pull ups (vigorous effort) for 30 minutes expends the following:

(8 METs x 70 kg) x (30 min/60 min) = 280.0 Kcal.

Notes:

• 8 is the value in METs for doing pull ups (vigorous effort)
• The time unit is expressed in minutes
• The mass (weight) unit is expressed in kilograms
• We divide the time by 60 (min), because the MET unit uses hour.

(*) MET means 'metabolic equivalent'
