Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calories Burned

0.0 kcal

Calculation Formula

Calories = Weight × MET × Duration × 3.5 / 200

Where:
Weight: Your body weight in kilograms
MET: Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET value for flutter kicks: 6-8)
Duration: Exercise duration in minutes

Additional Information

Flutter kicks (kicking both legs up and down) is a high-intensity exercise that can burn approximately 6-8 METs (Metabolic Equivalents).

Learn how to use the Flutter kicks calories burned calculator and understand the calculation principles

How to use the calculator

  1. Enter your weight in kilograms (kg)
  2. Input the duration of your flutter kicks exercise in minutes
  3. Select the intensity level that best describes your workout
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated calorie burn
  5. Use the "Reset" button to start over with default values

Understanding the MET value

The calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values to estimate calorie burn. A MET is a unit that estimates the energy cost of physical activity for a person of average size (70kg or 154 lbs). An activity with a MET value of 1.0 requires the same amount of energy as sitting quietly.

For flutter kicks, we've used MET values ranging from 6 to 8:

  • Low intensity (casual): 6 METs - Gentle flutter kicks with short pauses
  • Moderate intensity (medium effort): 7 METs - Consistent flutter kicks at a steady pace
  • High intensity (vigorous effort): 8 METs - Fast-paced flutter kicks with minimal rest

Important notes

This calculator provides an estimated calorie burn based on average values. Your actual calorie burn may vary based on:

  • Your individual metabolic rate
  • Actual intensity of your workout
  • Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity)
  • Rest periods during your exercise

*Note: Flutter kicks is a high-impact exercise that puts stress on your joints. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program.*
