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

Wii Zumba Calories Burned Formula

The formula to estimate the calories burned during a Wii Zumba session is:

Calories Burned = MET * Weight in kg * Duration in hours

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 Wii Zumba, the MET value is approximately 7.2.
  • Weight is the weight of the person performing Wii Zumba in pounds (lbs).
  • Duration is the length of the Wii Zumba session in minutes.

To calculate the calories burned, first convert the weight from pounds to kilograms by dividing by 2.20462, then convert the duration from minutes to hours by dividing by 60. Multiply the MET value by the weight in kilograms and the duration in hours to get the total calories burned.
