Elliptical Calories Burned Per Minute

Elliptical training burns approximately 4.4 to 10.5 calories per minute depending on your weight and whether you choose moderate or vigorous intensity.

Knowing your per minute calorie burn rate helps you track calories during workouts and calculate totals for any duration. This metric is especially useful when comparing different cardio machines or adjusting workout length based on calorie goals.

Calorie Burn Per Minute by Weight

Body Weight Moderate (5.3 MET) Vigorous (9.0 MET)
60 kg (132 lbs) 5.3 kcal/min 9.0 kcal/min
70 kg (154 lbs) 6.2 kcal/min 10.5 kcal/min
80 kg (176 lbs) 7.1 kcal/min 12.0 kcal/min
90 kg (198 lbs) 8.0 kcal/min 13.5 kcal/min

How to Use Per Minute Rates

Multiply your per minute burn rate by your workout duration to estimate total calories. For example, a 70 kg person at moderate intensity burns 6.2 calories per minute, so a 25 minute workout would burn approximately 155 calories (6.2 × 25).

Quick Reference Calculations

For a 70 kg person at moderate intensity (6.2 kcal/min):

Duration Total Calories
5 minutes 31 kcal
10 minutes 62 kcal
15 minutes 93 kcal
20 minutes 124 kcal

Factors That Increase Per Minute Burn

  • Higher resistance settings on the machine
  • Faster stride rate or cadence
  • Active use of arm handles
  • Adding incline if available
  • Interval training with high intensity bursts
