Enter your weight and the duration of your mini stepper workout into the calculator to estimate the number of calories burned.
Mini Stepper Calories Burned Formula
The formula to estimate the calories burned during a mini stepper workout is as follows:
Calories Burned = (MET * Weight in kg * 3.5 / 200) * Duration
Variables:
- 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. For mini stepper workouts, the average MET value is 4.8.
- Weight is the body weight in kilograms (to convert from pounds to kilograms, multiply by 0.453592).
- Duration is the time spent on the workout in minutes.
To calculate the calories burned, first convert your weight from pounds to kilograms, then multiply the MET value by your weight in kilograms and by 3.5, divide by 200, and finally multiply by the duration of your workout in minutes.
What is a Mini Stepper?
A mini stepper is a compact exercise device that simulates the motion of stair climbing. It is a convenient and effective tool for performing cardiovascular workouts in small spaces. Mini steppers target the lower body muscles such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. They are also beneficial for improving cardiovascular health and burning calories.
