Enter your weight and the duration of drumming into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned. This calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for drumming to provide an approximate calorie burn.
Drumming Calories Burned Formula
The formula used to calculate the calories burned while drumming is:
Calories Burned = ((MET * 3.5 * Weight in kg) / 200) * Duration in minutes
Variables:
- Weight is the body weight in pounds (to convert to kg, divide by 2.20462).
- Duration is the time spent drumming in minutes.
- 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. The MET value for drumming is approximately 4.8.
To calculate the calories burned while drumming, convert your weight to kilograms, then multiply by the MET value for drumming, by 3.5, and then by the duration in minutes. Divide the result by 200 to get the total calories burned.
What is Drumming Calories Burned?
Drumming calories burned refers to the amount of energy expended while playing drums. It is a fun and engaging way to exercise, as it involves constant movement of the arms and legs. The number of calories burned will depend on the intensity of the drumming, the drummer’s weight, and the duration of the drumming session.
How to Calculate Calories Burned Drumming?
The following steps outline how to calculate the calories burned while drumming:
- First, determine your weight in pounds and convert it to kilograms by dividing by 2.20462.
- Next, determine the duration of your drumming session in minutes.
- Use the MET value for drumming (approximately 4.8).
- Apply the formula to calculate the calories burned.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Weight = 150 pounds (convert to kg: 150 / 2.20462 = 68.04 kg)
Duration = 30 minutes
Calories Burned = ((4.8 * 3.5 * 68.04) / 200) * 30 = 287.23 calories
