About This Calculator
The Push-Up Calorie Calculator estimates the number of calories burned based on your weight, the type of push-up performed, and the total number of repetitions. It supports multiple weight units including kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb), and factors in different intensities for standard, incline, and clap push-ups.
How It Works
- Select your weight and unit (kg or lb). The calculator will convert pounds to kilograms if needed.
- Choose the push-up type: Standard, Incline, or Clap.
- Enter the total number of push-ups you performed.
- The calculator estimates the duration based on average pace and calculates the total calories burned using MET values.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does push-up type affect calorie burn?
Different types of push-ups engage muscles at varying intensities. For example, clap push-ups are more explosive and burn more calories than incline push-ups.
Can I use this calculator for other exercises?
No, this calculator is specifically tailored for push-ups. Use a general exercise calculator for other workouts.
What if I don’t know my weight in kilograms?
No problem! You can enter your weight in pounds, and the calculator will automatically convert it to kilograms for calculation.
How is the number of minutes estimated?
The calculator assumes an average push-up speed (e.g., 20 push-ups per minute) to estimate duration for use in the calorie formula.
