The Burpee Calorie Calculator is a specialized tool that estimates the number of calories you burn during your burpee workouts. It takes into account your body weight and the total number of burpees performed to provide an accurate calculation of calories burned. This calculator is particularly useful for those looking to monitor their exercise output and manage their weight effectively.
Formula of Burpee Calorie Calculator
The calculation of calories burned during burpees is based on the following formula:
Calories Burned = (Bodyweight Factor) x (0.5) x (Number of Burpees)
Here’s how to use the formula:
- Bodyweight Factor (BWF): Convert your weight from pounds (lbs) to BWF by dividing your weight by 150. For instance, if you weigh 170 lbs, your BWF would be 1.13 (170 / 150).
- Number of Burpees (N): This refers to the total number of burpees you perform during your exercise session.
- (0.5): This value represents the estimated number of calories burned per burpee (on average).
General Terms and Table
| Body Weight (lbs) | Calories Burned per Burpee (0.5) | 10 Burpees | 20 Burpees | 30 Burpees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 120 | 60 | 5 | 10 | 15 |
| 130 | 65 | 6.5 | 13 | 19.5 |
| 140 |
| 70 | 7 | 14 | 21 | |
| 150 | 75 | 7.5 | 15 | 22.5 |
| 160 | 80 | 8 | 16 | 24 |
| 170 | 85 | 8.5 | 17 | 25.5 |
| 180 | 90 | 9 | 18 | 27 |
| 190 | 95 | 9.5 | 19 | 28.5 |
| 200 | 100 | 10 | 20 | 30 |
Notes:
- This table uses a base value of 0.5 calories burned per burpee, which can be adjusted based on research or heart rate monitoring.
- The calorie expenditure increases proportionally with the number of burpees performed.
- Remember, this is an estimate; factors like intensity and fitness level can influence actual calorie burn.
Example of Burpee Calorie Calculator
Let’s say an individual weighs 180 pounds and performs 30 burpees. First, calculate the BWF as 180/150 = 1.2. Using the formula:
Calories Burned = (1.2) x (0.5) x (30) = 18 calories
Therefore, this person burns approximately 18 calories from 30 burpees.
Most Common FAQs
The calculator provides an estimate based on average calorie expenditure. Individual results may vary based on factors like intensity, speed, and individual metabolic rates.
No, this calculator is specifically designed for estimating calories burned from burpees. Each exercise has a different calorie burn rate, requiring different calculations.
Yes, the calculator is designed to accommodate any body weight by adjusting the Bodyweight Factor accordingly. This makes it versatile and useful for a wide range of individuals.
