Calories Burned Pole Dancing Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Calories Burned during Pole Dancing:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{\text{MET} \times 3.5 \times \text{Weight in kg}}{200} \right) \times \text{Duration in minutes} \]

Where:

MET is the metabolic equivalent of task, which is 4.8 for pole dancing.
Weight is the body weight in pounds (to convert to kilograms, divide by 2.2).
Duration is the time spent pole dancing in minutes.

What is Pole Dancing?

Pole dancing is a form of performance art and fitness that combines dance and acrobatics centered around a vertical pole. It is practiced by many enthusiasts in gyms and dance studios and has gained popularity as a mainstream form of fitness, promoting strength, flexibility, and endurance.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Weight = 150 pounds
Duration = 60 minutes

Step 1: Convert weight to kilograms:

\[ \text{Weight in kg} = \frac{150}{2.2} \approx 68.18 \text{ kg} \]

Step 2: Use the calories burned calculation formula:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{4.8 \times 3.5 \times 68.18}{200} \right) \times 60 \]

Step 3: Simplify and calculate:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} \approx \left( \frac{1144.512}{200} \right) \times 60 \approx 343.35 \text{ kcal} \]

The Calories Burned is approximately 343.35 kcal.
