1. What is the Calories Burned Equation?

The Calories Burned Equation estimates the energy expenditure from performing squats and abs exercises. It uses the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) values for both activities, combined with weight and time, to calculate total calories burned.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Calories Burned equation:

\[ \text{Calories} = \frac{\text{MET}_{\text{squats}} + \text{MET}_{\text{abs}}}{2} \times \text{Weight} \times \text{Time} \]

Where:

\( \text{MET}_{\text{squats}} \) — Metabolic Equivalent for squats (dimensionless)
\( \text{MET}_{\text{abs}} \) — Metabolic Equivalent for abs exercises (dimensionless)
\( \text{Weight} \) — Body weight in kilograms (kg)
\( \text{Time} \) — Exercise duration in hours (h)

Explanation: The equation averages the MET values of squats and abs exercises, then multiplies by weight and time to estimate total calories burned.

3. Importance of Calories Calculation

Details: Calculating calories burned is essential for tracking fitness progress, managing weight, and designing effective workout routines.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter MET values for squats and abs, weight in kg, and time in hours. All values must be valid (greater than 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are typical MET values for squats and abs?
A: MET values vary by intensity. Squats typically range from 5-8 METs, while abs exercises range from 3-6 METs, depending on effort.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides an estimate. Actual calories burned can vary based on individual metabolism, exercise form, and intensity.

Q3: Can I use this for other exercises?
A: This specific calculator is designed for squats and abs. For other activities, use their respective MET values.

Q4: Why average the MET values?
A: Averaging provides a combined estimate for a workout session involving both exercises, reflecting overall energy expenditure.

Q5: Should time be in hours or minutes?
A: Time must be entered in hours. For minutes, convert by dividing by 60 (e.g., 30 minutes = 0.5 hours).
