Understanding the 4-9-4 Rule

The Four Nine Four (4-9-4) rule is a simple estimation method that provides a rough calculation of calories burned during exercise. The formula is based on the relationship between body weight, heart rate, and age - all key factors that influence metabolic rate during physical activity.

While this calculator provides a quick estimate, it's important to note that calorie burn can vary significantly based on:

  • Exercise intensity
  • Specific activity type
  • Individual metabolic rate
  • Environmental conditions

For more accurate calorie tracking, consider using more sophisticated fitness trackers or consulting with a fitness professional.
