Estimate calories burned in a workout
The calories you burn during exercise depend on your body weight, the activity and how long you keep it up. Pick an activity, enter your weight and the duration in minutes, and the tool estimates the calories burned using standard MET values, the metabolic cost of each activity. Choose from walking, running, cycling, swimming and more. Real burn varies with intensity and fitness, so treat the figure as a ballpark.
What MET means
MET measures how hard an activity is compared with resting; running rates far higher than walking, so it burns more per minute.
Frequently asked questions
What is a MET value?
A MET is the metabolic equivalent of a task. One MET is your resting rate, and an activity with a MET of 8 burns roughly eight times as many calories per minute.
Why does weight change the result?
Heavier bodies use more energy to move, so calories burned rise with body weight for the same activity and time.
