How Calories Burned Is Calculated

Calories burned represent the energy your body uses during physical activity. This calculation uses the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) method, which compares your workout rate to your resting metabolism.

Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hours)

Where:

  • MET = Metabolic Equivalent of Task (adjusted for intensity and pace)
  1. Identify the base MET value for your chosen exercise type and intensity.
  2. Adjust this value based on your repetition speed. Faster pacing increases the energy cost.
  3. Calculate total burn using your weight and time. If you did not work out continuously, the result is reduced to account for rest.

What Your Calories Burned Means

This number tells you exactly how much energy you spent strengthening your core. Understanding this helps you balance your diet and activity levels for better results.

Weight Loss

Aim for a burn between 150-250 kcal per session to contribute to a daily caloric deficit. Consistency here, combined with a healthy diet, is key to shedding fat.

Muscle Toning & Maintenance

If your goal is definition, focus on intensity rather than just high calories. A burn of 100-175 kcal with vigorous intensity often yields better muscle engagement than longer, lighter sessions.

Important

Remember that spot reduction isn't possible. This tool counts energy, but diet drives fat loss.
