1. What is the Treadmill Weight Loss Calculator?

The Treadmill Weight Loss Calculator estimates calories burned during treadmill exercise based on time spent, MET value of the activity, and your body weight. This helps track energy expenditure for weight management.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard calorie expenditure formula:

Where:

• \( Time \) — Duration of exercise in hours
• \( MET \) — Metabolic Equivalent of Task (intensity level)
• \( Weight \) — Body weight in kilograms

Explanation: The formula accounts for exercise duration, intensity (MET value), and body weight to estimate total calories burned.

3. Importance of Calorie Calculation

Details: Accurate calorie estimation helps create effective weight loss programs by balancing energy intake and expenditure.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter time in hours (e.g., 0.5 for 30 minutes), appropriate MET value for your treadmill activity, and current weight in kg.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are typical MET values for treadmill exercise?
A: Walking (3-5 MET), jogging (7-8 MET), running (8-12+ MET) depending on speed and incline.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a reasonable estimate but individual variations in metabolism can affect actual calories burned.

Q3: Should I use this for weight loss planning?
A: Yes, but combine with dietary changes for best results. A 500 kcal daily deficit typically leads to ~0.5kg weight loss per week.

Q4: How often should I recalculate?
A: Recalculate as your weight changes or if you modify your exercise intensity/duration.

Q5: Can I use this for other cardio exercises?
A: Yes, with the appropriate MET value for the specific activity.
