Enter your weight, average heart rate (BPM), and exercise duration into the calculator to estimate the calories burned during your workout.
BPM Calories Burned Formula
The formula used to estimate the calories burned based on BPM is:
Calories Burned = ((0.6309 * BPM + 0.1988 * Weight + 0.2017 * Age – 55.0969) * Duration) / 4.184
Variables:
- Weight is the person’s weight in pounds.
- BPM is the average heart rate during the exercise in beats per minute.
- Duration is the length of the exercise session in minutes.
- Age is assumed to be a constant average of 30 years for this calculation.
To estimate the calories burned, input your weight, average BPM, and exercise duration into the formula. The result will give you an approximation of the total calories burned during your workout.
What Does BPM Mean?
BPM stands for beats per minute and is a measure of heart rate. It represents the number of times your heart beats in one minute and is an indicator of exercise intensity. Monitoring BPM during workouts can help ensure you are exercising within your target heart rate zone, which can vary depending on your fitness goals.
How to Calculate Calories Burned from BPM?
Follow these steps to calculate the calories burned from BPM:
- Measure your average heart rate (BPM) during the exercise.
- Record your weight in pounds.
- Track the duration of your exercise in minutes.
- Use the formula provided above to calculate the calories burned.
- Enter the values into the calculator to verify your results.
Example Problem:
Let’s say you weigh 150 pounds, your average heart rate during the workout was 120 BPM, and you exercised for 30 minutes. Using the formula:
Calories Burned = ((0.6309 * 120 + 0.1988 * 150 + 0.2017 * 30 – 55.0969) * 30) / 4.184
Calories Burned ≈ 409.25 calories
