Weight Lifting Calorie Formula for Men:
| From: | To: |
The weight lifting calorie calculation estimates the number of calories burned during resistance training exercises based on body weight and exercise duration. This is specific to men's metabolism during weight training.
The calculator uses the weight lifting calorie formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula accounts for the intensity of weight lifting (6 METs) and scales with body weight and duration.
Details: Tracking calories burned during exercise helps with weight management, fitness goals, and nutritional planning. Weight lifting burns calories both during and after exercise due to increased metabolism.
Tips: Enter your weight in kilograms and exercise duration in minutes. The calculation assumes moderate-intensity weight lifting. Actual calories burned may vary based on intensity, rest periods, and individual metabolism.
Q1: Is this calculator only for men?
A: Yes, this specific formula uses metabolic rates typical for men. Women generally burn slightly fewer calories for the same activity.
Q2: Does this include afterburn effect?
A: No, this calculates only the calories burned during the actual workout. Weight lifting continues to burn calories for hours after exercise.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a reasonable estimate but individual results may vary by ±10-20% based on factors like workout intensity and body composition.
Q4: Should I eat back all calories burned?
A: Not necessarily. This tool helps awareness, but nutritional needs depend on your overall goals (weight loss, maintenance, or gain).
Q5: Does exercise type affect calories burned?
A: Yes, circuit training with minimal rest burns more calories than traditional strength training with long rest periods.
