Estimate calories burned on an Assault Bike from body weight, workout time, and intensity, or calculate the time needed to reach a calorie target.
Assault Bike Calories Formula
This estimates gross exercise energy from a chosen average cycling MET proxy. It includes resting energy and does not reproduce an AssaultBike console score.
- C = calories burned
- BW_kg = body weight in kilograms
- M = workout time in minutes
- MET = selected average cycling metabolic-equivalent proxy
The time-target mode rearranges the same estimate:
- target kcal = gross exercise-energy target
- BWkg = body weight in kilograms
Cycling MET Reference Proxies
| Cycling reference | MET | 2024 Compendium code |
|---|---|---|
| General stationary cycling | 6.8 | 01200 |
| Cycling HIIT | 8.8 | 01305 |
| Stationary cycling, 200–229 W | 10.8 | 01236 |
| Stationary cycling, 270–305 W | 13.8 | 01244 |
Calories Burned on an Assault Bike per 10 Minutes
| Body weight | 6.8 MET | 8.8 MET | 10.8 MET | 13.8 MET |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 lb | 81.0 kcal | 104.8 kcal | 128.6 kcal | 164.3 kcal |
| 180 lb | 97.2 kcal | 125.7 kcal | 154.3 kcal | 197.2 kcal |
| 220 lb | 118.8 kcal | 153.7 kcal | 188.6 kcal | 241.0 kcal |
Reference: 2024 Adult Compendium, Bicycling. These are general cycling proxies, not validated air-bike presets. Use an average across work and recovery. The conventional calorie equation assumes 3.5 mL oxygen/kg/min per MET and 5 kcal/L oxygen.
What Is an Assault Bike?
An assault bike is a fan bike that trains both the upper body and lower body at the same time. As your cadence rises, resistance rises too, which is why assault bikes are common in intervals, conditioning pieces, and short high-output finishers.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter your body weight and workout time.
- Choose an effort level (MET) or enter a custom average MET. For a time estimate, select Time for a calorie target and enter the target instead of duration.
- Click Calculate to see calories burned and calories per minute.
Example
An 80 kg rider using the general stationary-cycling proxy of 6.8 MET for 20 minutes has the following gross estimate.
The model estimates 190.4 kcal, including resting energy. Individual expenditure varies; this is not a personalized nutrition or exercise prescription.
