Frequently Asked Questions

How are calories burned calculated?

Calories = MET × weight(kg) × duration(hours). MET (Metabolic Equivalent) represents energy cost of activities. Walking = 3.5 MET, running = 9.8 MET, sleeping = 1 MET. Higher MET = more calories burned.

How many calories does walking burn?

A 70kg person walking at moderate pace (5 km/hr) burns about 280 calories per hour. Brisk walking (6.5 km/hr) burns about 350 calories. Walking is excellent for weight loss - sustainable and joint-friendly.

Which exercise burns the most calories?

High-intensity activities burn most: Running (600-800 cal/hr), cycling fast (500-700), swimming (400-600), HIIT (400-600), jumping rope (700-900). But consistency matters more than intensity for long-term results.

Do household chores count as exercise?

Yes! Cooking burns 150 cal/hr, cleaning 200 cal/hr, gardening 300 cal/hr. While not as intense as gym workouts, daily activities add up. An active lifestyle burns 300-500 more calories daily than sedentary.
