Enter the mountain biking time (min) and the body weight (lbs) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Mountain Biking Calories. 

Mountain Biking Calories Formula

MBC = MBT / 60 * 680 * BW/150

Variables:

  • MBC is the Mountain Biking Calories (calories)
  • MBT is the mountain biking time (min)
  • BW is the body weight (lbs)

To calculate Mountain Biking Calories, divide the total mountain biking time by 60, multiply by 680, then multiply by your body weight over 150.

The following steps outline how to calculate the Mountain Biking Calories.

  1. First, determine the mountain biking time (min). 
  2. Next, determine the body weight (lbs). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = MBC = MBT / 60 * 680 * BW/150.
  4. Finally, calculate the Mountain Biking Calories.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem :

FAQs

How accurate is the mountain biking calories calculator?

The accuracy of the mountain biking calories calculator depends on the precision of the input values for mountain biking time and body weight. It provides a good estimate but may not account for individual differences in metabolism and fitness level.

Can I use this formula for other types of biking?

This formula is specifically designed for mountain biking, which typically requires more effort than standard biking on flat surfaces. For other types of biking, such as road cycling or spinning, it’s better to use a calculator designed for those activities.

Why is body weight a factor in calculating calories burned?

Body weight is a factor because it takes more energy to move a heavier body. The more you weigh, the more calories you’ll burn during physical activities, including mountain biking.

Is there a way to increase the calories burned while mountain biking?

Yes, increasing the intensity or duration of your mountain biking session will help burn more calories. Incorporating challenging terrains, such as steep hills, and increasing your speed can also lead to higher calorie burn.
