Drumming Calories Burned Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the calories burned while drumming is:

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

Where:

\(\text{Weight}\) is the body weight in pounds (to convert to kg, divide by 2.20462)
\(\text{Duration}\) is the time spent drumming in minutes
\(\text{MET}\) is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is approximately 4.8 for drumming

What is Drumming Calories Burned?

Drumming calories burned refers to the amount of energy expended while playing drums. It is a fun and engaging way to exercise, as it involves constant movement of the arms and legs. The number of calories burned will depend on the intensity of the drumming, the drummer’s weight, and the duration of the drumming session.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Body Weight = 150 pounds
Duration = 60 minutes

Using the formula to calculate the calories burned:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{4.8 \times 3.5 \times \frac{150}{2.20462}}{200} \right) \times 60 \approx 381.60 \text{ kcal} \]

The calories burned while drumming is approximately 381.60 kcal.
