I'm a software developer and year long triathlete. I spend a lot of time in the gym and wanted to know how many calories I burn. Most calculators don't tell you how they calculate the calories burned, so I made this simple calculator that uses your weight, number of pushups per minute and duration to calculate the calories burned.

How the Push-Up Calories Calculator Works

The Push-Up Calories Calculator estimates the number of calories burned during a push-up workout based on key factors. Here's an explanation of how it works:

The Formula for Calorie Burn

The calculator uses a simplified approach based on average calorie burn per push-up:

Calories Burned = Number of Push-Ups * Calories per Push-Up

Where:
Number of Push-Ups = Push-Ups per Minute * Total Time in Minutes
Calories per Push-Up ≈ 0.3 (average estimation)

Input Parameters

  • 1

    Weight

    Your body weight in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs).

  • 2

    Push-Ups per Minute

    The number of push-ups you can perform in one minute.

  • 3

    Time

    The duration of your workout in hours, minutes, and seconds (HH:MM:SS).

Calculation Process

  • 1

    Convert Units

    If necessary, convert weight to kg (not directly used in calculation).

  • 2

    Calculate Total Push-Ups

    Multiply push-ups per minute by total time in minutes.

  • 3

    Apply Formula

    Multiply total push-ups by calories per push-up (0.3).

  • 4

    Calculate Hourly Burn

    Determine calories burned per hour based on the calculated rate.

Output

The calculator provides two main outputs:

  • 1

    Total Calories Burned

    The estimated total number of calories burned during the workout.

  • 2

    Calories Burned per Hour

    The estimated rate of calorie burn if the workout were to continue for an hour.

Important Notes

  • 1

    Simplified Estimation

    This calculation uses a simplified approach and may not account for all factors affecting calorie burn.

  • 2

    Individual Variations

    Actual calorie burn can vary based on factors like fitness level, age, body composition, and push-up form.

  • 3

    Consult Professionals

    For personalized fitness advice, consult with a healthcare provider or certified fitness professional.

When to Use the Push-Up Calorie Calculator

  • 1

    Estimate Workout Intensity

    To get a rough idea of how many calories you might burn during a push-up workout.

  • 2

    Compare Workouts

    To compare the potential calorie burn of push-ups to other exercises.

  • 3

    Track Progress

    To monitor improvements in your push-up endurance and potential calorie burn over time.

Use this calculator as a helpful tool to estimate calorie burn during push-up workouts, but remember that it's an approximation and individual results may vary. Always prioritize proper form and safety when performing push-ups or any exercise.
