Enter your weight and the duration of the hip thrust exercise into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned.
Hip Thrust Calories Burned Formula
The formula to estimate the calories burned during hip thrust exercises is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for the activity:
Calories Burned = (MET * Weight in kg * 3.5 / 200) * Duration in minutes
Variables:
- MET is the metabolic equivalent of the task (6.0 for hip thrusts)
- Weight is the body weight in kilograms (kg)
- Duration is the time spent performing the exercise in minutes
To use the calculator, input your weight in pounds and the duration of the exercise in minutes. The calculator will convert your weight to kilograms and use the MET value for hip thrusts to estimate the calories burned.
What are Hip Thrusts?
Hip thrusts are a strength training exercise that targets the glutes, hamstrings, and core. They are performed by thrusting the hips upward while the back is supported on a bench or similar surface. This exercise is known for its effectiveness in building lower body strength and improving athletic performance.
How to Calculate Calories Burned During Hip Thrusts?
The following steps outline how to calculate the calories burned during hip thrusts:
- First, determine your weight in pounds.
- Next, determine the duration of the hip thrust exercise in minutes.
- Convert your weight from pounds to kilograms by multiplying by 0.453592.
- Use the MET value for hip thrusts (6.0) along with your weight in kg and the duration to calculate the calories burned using the formula provided.
- Finally, input your weight and duration into the calculator to verify the calories burned.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Weight = 150 pounds
Duration = 30 minutes
