Enter your weight and the duration of the bootcamp workout into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned.
Calories Burned Bootcamp Formula
The formula used to calculate the calories burned during a bootcamp workout is as follows:
Calories Burned = (MET * 3.5 * Weight in kg * Duration in minutes) / 200
Variables:
- MET is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is a measure of the energy cost of physical activities. For bootcamp workouts, the MET value is approximately 7.8.
- Weight is the weight of the person performing the workout in kilograms (to convert pounds to kilograms, divide by 2.20462).
- Duration is the length of the workout in minutes.
To calculate the calories burned, multiply the MET value by 3.5, then by the person’s weight in kilograms, and then by the duration of the workout in minutes. Divide the result by 200 to get the total calories burned.
What is a Bootcamp Workout?
