Enter your weight and the duration of the exercise into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned while using battle ropes.

Battle Rope Calories Burned Formula

The formula to estimate the calories burned during battle rope exercises is as follows:

Calories Burned = ((MET * 3.5 * weight in kg) / 200) * duration in minutes

Variables:

  • MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is a unit that estimates the energy used by the body during physical activity, compared to resting metabolism. For battle rope exercises, the MET is approximately 10.
  • Weight is the body weight in pounds (to convert to kilograms, divide by 2.2).
  • Duration is the length of the exercise session in minutes.

To calculate the calories burned, first convert the weight from pounds to kilograms, then multiply the MET value by 3.5, by the weight in kilograms, and then divide by 200. Multiply this result by the duration of the exercise in minutes to find the total calories burned.

What is Battle Rope Exercise?

Battle rope exercises involve using thick, heavy ropes that are anchored to a point. The participant whips, slams, or waves the ropes in various patterns to engage different muscle groups, providing a high-intensity, full-body workout. It is a popular exercise for improving cardiovascular fitness, strength, and power.

How to Calculate Calories Burned Using Battle Ropes?

Follow these steps to calculate the calories burned during a battle rope workout:

  1. Enter your weight in pounds.
  2. Enter the duration of your battle rope exercise session in minutes.
  3. Use the formula provided above to calculate the calories burned.
  4. Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated calories burned.
  5. Use the “Reset” button to clear the fields and perform a new calculation.

Example Problem:

Let’s say you weigh 150 pounds and you did battle rope exercises for 30 minutes. Here’s how you would calculate the calories burned:

First, convert your weight to kilograms: 150 lbs / 2.2 = 68.18 kg

Then, use the formula: Calories Burned = ((10 * 3.5 * 68.18) / 200) * 30

The estimated calories burned would be approximately 357 calories.
