Mini Stepper Calories Calculator

Formula

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \text{MET} \times \text{Weight in kg} \times \frac{3.5}{200} \right) \times \text{Duration} \]

Where:

\( \text{MET} \) is the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (for mini stepper, MET = 4.8)
\( \text{Weight in kg} \) is the weight converted from pounds to kilograms (1 lb = 0.453592 kg)
\( \text{Duration} \) is the time spent on the workout in minutes

What is a Mini Stepper?

A mini stepper is a compact exercise device that simulates the motion of stair climbing. It is a convenient and effective tool for performing cardiovascular workouts in small spaces. Mini steppers target the lower body muscles such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. They are also beneficial for improving cardiovascular health and burning calories.

Examples

Example 1:

Weight: 150 lbs
Duration: 30 minutes
Calories Burned: \[ \left( 4.8 \times (150 \times 0.453592) \times \frac{3.5}{200} \right) \times 30 \approx 448.60 \text{ kcal} \]

Example 2:

Weight: 180 lbs
Duration: 45 minutes
Calories Burned: \[ \left( 4.8 \times (180 \times 0.453592) \times \frac{3.5}{200} \right) \times 45 \approx 745.36 \text{ kcal} \]
