Calculate the calories burned during pull-ups based on your weight, pull-up count, and time taken
Learn how to use the Pull Up Calories Calculator and understand the calorie estimation method
This calculator uses a simplified formula to estimate calories burned during pull-ups. The formula considers your body weight, the number of repetitions performed, and the time taken to complete the exercise.
The calorie estimation is based on the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for pull-ups, which is approximately 8.0 METs. The formula used is:
Calories = (Weight × Pull-up count × 0.035) / Time
This estimation provides a reasonable approximation, though actual calorie burn may vary based on individual factors such as muscle mass, intensity, and technique.
If a 70 kg person completes 10 pull-ups in 60 seconds, the calorie burn would be calculated as:
Calories = (70 × 10 × 0.035) / 60 = 0.39 kcal
Note: This is a simplified estimation. For more accurate tracking, consider using a heart rate monitor or fitness tracker that can measure calories burned during exercise.
