Lifting Calorie Calculator

Formula

The formula to estimate the calories burned during a lifting session is:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = (\text{Weight} \times \text{MET value}) \times \left(\frac{\text{Duration}}{60}\right) \]

Where:

Weight is your body weight in pounds
MET value is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task
Duration is the time spent lifting in minutes
