Exercise Calorie Burn Calculator
This tool estimates how many calories you burned during your chosen activity, based on MET (metabolic equivalent) values.
MET (metabolic equivalent) values express physical activity intensity in a standard unit, widely used in sports science.
How Is Exercise Calorie Burn Calculated?
Exercise calorie burn is estimated using MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values, a standard unit widely used in sports science. 1 MET represents energy expenditure at rest; an activity with a MET value of 8, for example, burns roughly 8 times more energy than resting. Calories burned are calculated from the MET value, your body weight (kg) and the activity duration (minutes). This is an estimate based on average activity intensity — actual burn can vary meaningfully with pace, terrain, weather, muscle mass and individual fitness, so treat the result as a general reference rather than a precise measurement.
