Enter your weight and the duration of your vibration plate session into the calculator to estimate the calories you have burned. This tool helps you to track your fitness progress and manage your workout routine effectively.

Vibration Plate Calories Burned Formula

The formula used to estimate the calories burned on a vibration plate is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for vibration training and the individual’s body weight.

Calories Burned = (MET * 3.5 * weight in kg / 200) * time in minutes

Variables:

  • Calories Burned is the total number of calories burned during the vibration plate session.
  • 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 vibration plate exercises, the MET value is approximately 2.8.
  • Weight is the body weight of the individual in kilograms.
  • Time is the duration of the vibration plate session in minutes.

To calculate the calories burned, first convert the weight from pounds to kilograms, then multiply the MET value by 3.5, and then by the weight in kilograms. Divide this number by 200 and multiply by the duration of the session in minutes.

What is a Vibration Plate?

A vibration plate is a fitness device that generates vibrations, causing muscles to contract and relax multiple times per second. The activity is intended to enhance workouts, increase muscle strength, and contribute to weight loss. It is a popular tool in gyms and for home exercise routines.

How to Calculate Calories Burned on a Vibration Plate?

The following steps outline how to calculate the calories burned during a vibration plate session.

  1. First, determine your weight in pounds and convert it to kilograms (1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms).
  2. Next, determine the duration of your vibration plate session in minutes.
  3. Use the MET value for vibration plate exercises, which is approximately 2.8.
  4. Insert your weight in kilograms and the duration of your session into the formula to calculate the calories burned.
  5. After calculating the result, compare your answer with the calculator above to verify your calculation.
