Enter the total number of pushups, your weight, and the style of push-up into the calculator to determine the calories burned from push-ups.

Push Up Calories Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the number of calories burned from doing pushups.

C = NP*WF*SF
  • Where C is the number of calories
  • NP is the number of pushups performed
  • WF is the weight factor (heavy people burn more)
  • SF is the style factor (modified pushups burn less)

To calculate the calories burned from pushups, multiply the number of pushups by the weight factor, then multiply again by the style factor.
