How this calculation works
Activity calories use the standard MET energy equation: MET × 3.5 × body weight (kg) / 200 × minutes.
Example calculation
The sample values loaded into the calculator produce 248 kcal. This example exists to show how the output is structured; replace the sample values with your own inputs for your calculation.
Assumptions and limitations
- Energy, fitness and heart-rate outputs are estimates and vary by individual and device.
- Stop exercise and seek appropriate care if you have concerning symptoms; this tool does not provide medical clearance.
