Calories Burned Recumbent Bike Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Total Calories Burned (CB):

\[ CB = \frac{T \times (MET \times 3.5 \times W)}{200} \]

Where:

\( CB \) is the Total Calories Burned (calories)
\( T \) is the Duration of Exercise (minutes)
\( MET \) is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task for recumbent biking
\( W \) is the Weight of the Individual (kg)

What is Calories Burned on a Recumbent Bike?

A Calories Burned Recumbent Bike refers to the amount of calories a person can burn while using a recumbent bike, a type of stationary exercise equipment. The bike is designed with a chair-like seat that provides back support and positions the rider in a laid-back reclining position. The number of calories burned depends on various factors such as the person’s weight, the intensity of the workout, and the duration of the exercise. It is a popular choice for cardiovascular exercise and is often used for weight loss, muscle toning, and physical therapy.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Duration of Exercise \( T \) = 30 minutes
Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) = 5.0
Weight \( W \) = 70 kg

Step 1: Use the CB calculation formula:

\[ CB = \frac{30 \times (5.0 \times 3.5 \times 70)}{200} = \frac{30 \times 1225}{200} = 183.75 \text{ calories} \]

The Total Calories Burned is 183.75 calories.
