10 Minute Elliptical Calculation
10 Minutes Elliptical Calories Burned
A 10 minute elliptical session burns approximately 44 to 105 calories depending on your weight and whether you choose moderate or vigorous intensity.
A quick 10 minute elliptical workout is perfect for warming up, fitting exercise into a busy schedule, or adding extra cardio to your strength training routine. While the total calorie burn is modest, these short sessions can add up significantly over time.
Calories Burned in 10 Minutes by Weight
| Body Weight | Moderate (5.3 MET) | Vigorous (9.0 MET) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg (132 lbs) | 53 kcal | 90 kcal |
| 70 kg (154 lbs) | 62 kcal | 105 kcal |
| 80 kg (176 lbs) | 71 kcal | 120 kcal |
| 90 kg (198 lbs) | 80 kcal | 135 kcal |
Making the Most of 10 Minutes
To maximize calorie burn in a short session, consider interval training. Alternate between high resistance bursts and moderate recovery periods. This approach can boost your metabolic rate and continue burning calories even after your workout ends.
When 10 Minutes Works Best
- As a warm-up before strength training
- During work breaks for active recovery
- As a finisher after weight lifting
- When building up fitness gradually
