Aquafit Calories Burned Calculator

Aquafit, a water-based aerobic workout, is known for its low-impact, high-resistance exercise, which is excellent for all fitness levels. This calculator allows you to estimate the calories burned based on your weight and workout duration.

How It Works

The calories burned during Aquafit can be calculated using the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value, which represents the energy cost of the activity. The formula used is:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \text{MET} \times \text{Weight (kg)} \times \text{Duration (minutes)} \right) / 60 \]

For Aquafit, the MET value is approximately 6.

Example Calculation

If you weigh 70 kg and perform Aquafit for 45 minutes:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left(6 \times 70 \times 45\right) / 60 = 315 \text{ calories} \]

Why Use This Calculator?

Understanding your calorie expenditure during Aquafit helps in managing weight goals, optimizing workouts, and tracking progress over time.
