The Flutter Kicks Calories Burned Calculator helps you estimate the number of calories you burn while performing flutter kicks, a popular core-strengthening exercise. Flutter kicks are performed by lying on your back and rapidly kicking your legs up and down in an alternating motion, keeping your core tight. This calculator is especially useful for fitness tracking, weight management, and customizing workout plans based on personal metrics like body weight and exercise duration.
This tool belongs to the category of Fitness and Calorie Burn Calculators.
formula of Flutter Kicks Calories Burned Calculator
Calories Burned = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (min) × (1 / 60)
Or:
Calories Burned = 0.0175 × MET × Weight (kg) × Time (min)
Where:
MET = Metabolic Equivalent of Task
Weight = Body weight in kilograms
Time = Duration of the exercise in minutes
For flutter kicks, the MET value ranges from approximately 3.5 to 4.0 depending on intensity. A higher MET reflects a more vigorous workout. Use 3.5 for moderate flutter kicks and 4.0 for fast-paced or extended sets.
Common MET-Based Calorie Burn Table
| Weight (kg) | Time (min) | MET = 3.5 | MET = 4.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 10 | 29 | 35 |
| 60 | 10 | 35 | 42 |
| 70 | 10 | 41 | 49 |
| 80 | 15 | 70 | 84 |
| 90 | 20 | 105 | 120 |
| 100 | 30 | 158 | 180 |
These values are estimates to help guide workouts and nutritional planning.
Example of Flutter Kicks Calories Burned Calculator
Suppose you weigh 70 kg and perform flutter kicks for 20 minutes at moderate intensity (MET = 3.5).
Using the formula:
Calories Burned = 0.0175 × 3.5 × 70 × 20
Calories Burned = 0.0175 × 4900 = 85.75
You would burn approximately 86 calories during the 20-minute session.
Most Common FAQs
The calculator gives a close estimate based on MET values and individual weight. Actual calories burned may vary depending on intensity, rest breaks, and form.
No. This calculator is optimized for flutter kicks only. Different exercises have different MET values and energy demands. Use exercise-specific calculators for accurate results.
Yes, MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is widely accepted in exercise science. It provides a standardized way to compare different physical activities in terms of energy use.
