About this calculator
The Burpees per Minute calculator calculates the amount of calories burned in a given time, performing the Burpee exercise. The MET 8 activity factor is used to calculate the amount of energy spent during the Burpee exercise.
To calculate the calories, multiply the individual's weight by the activity factor (MET 8) and divide by 60, since the time is in minutes. Thus, the formula used is: calories = (weight x MET 8) / 60.
Here are some real-world cases where this calculator can be useful: during a fitness class, to calculate the amount of calories burned in a given time, or to monitor progress over time for the Burpee exercise.
Common precautions to take when performing the Burpee exercise include: starting with a moderate pace and gradually increasing the intensity, avoiding back and joint injuries, and doing stretches before and after the exercise.
