Enter your weight and the duration of your Aqua Zumba session into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned. This calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value specific to Aqua Zumba to provide an approximation of energy expenditure.

Aqua Zumba Calories Burned Formula

The formula used to estimate the calories burned during an Aqua Zumba session is:

Calories Burned = (MET * Weight in kg * Duration in minutes) / 60

Variables:

  • MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is 9.8 for Aqua Zumba.
  • Weight is the weight of the person in kilograms (to convert from pounds to kilograms, multiply by 0.453592).
  • Duration is the length of the Aqua Zumba session in minutes.

To estimate the calories burned, convert your weight to kilograms, then multiply by the MET value for Aqua Zumba and the duration of your session. Finally, divide by 60 to convert to calories burned per minute.
