Enter the total jogging time (min) and the body weight (lbs) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Jog Calorie.
Jog Calorie Formula
JC = JT / 60 * 350 * BW/150
Variables:
- JC is the Jog Calorie (calories)
- JT is the total jogging time (min)
- BW is the body weight (lbs)
To calculate Jog Calories burned, divide the total jogging time by 60, multiply by 350, then multiply by your body weight over 150.
How to Calculate Jogging Calories?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Jog Calories.
- First, determine the total jogging time (min).
- Next, determine the body weight (lbs).
- Next, gather the formula from above = JC = JT / 60 * 350 * BW/150.
- Finally, calculate the Jog Calories.
- 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.
total jogging time (min) = 30
body weight (lbs) = 250
Frequently Asked Questions
What factors can affect the accuracy of the Jog Calorie calculation?
Several factors can impact the accuracy of the Jog Calorie calculation, including the individual’s metabolism rate, jogging intensity, terrain (flat or hilly), and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
Is it necessary to know the exact body weight to use the Jog Calorie Calculator?
While having an accurate body weight improves the precision of the calorie calculation, an approximate weight can still provide a useful estimate of the calories burned during jogging.
Can the Jog Calorie formula be used for activities other than jogging?
The Jog Calorie formula is specifically designed for jogging. Using it for other activities like walking, cycling, or swimming may not provide accurate results due to different energy expenditures in these activities.
How can I increase the calories burned while jogging?
To burn more calories while jogging, you can increase the duration and intensity of your jog, incorporate intervals of faster running, jog on hilly terrain, or add weight vests for added resistance.
