Enter your weight and the duration of your pole dancing session into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned.

Calories Burned Pole Dancing Formula

The formula to estimate the calories burned during pole dancing is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for pole dancing and the individual’s body weight.

Calories Burned = ((MET * 3.5 * Weight in kg) / 200) * Duration in minutes

Variables:

  • MET is the metabolic equivalent of task, which is 4.8 for pole dancing.
  • Weight is the body weight in pounds (to convert to kilograms, divide by 2.2).
  • Duration is the time spent pole dancing in minutes.

To calculate the calories burned, convert your weight to kilograms, multiply by the MET value and 3.5, then divide by 200 and multiply by the duration of your pole dancing session.
