Plank Hold Calories Definition

The plank hold calories calculation estimates the number of calories burned during a plank exercise based on the duration of the plank and the individual's body weight. This can help in tracking fitness progress and setting exercise goals.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Plank Hold Calories:

\[ PHC = 5 \cdot 3.5 \cdot \frac{150}{150} = 5 \cdot 3.5 = 17.5 \, \text{calories} \]

This demonstrates that with a plank time of 5 minutes and a body weight of 150 lbs, the calories burned would be 17.5 calories.
