Yard Work Calories Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Yard Work Calories (YWC):

$YWC = \frac{T}{60} \times 300 \times \left( \frac{BW}{150} \right)$

Where:

$YWC$ is the Yard Work Calories (calories)
$T$ is the total yard work time (min)
$BW$ is the total body weight (lbs)

What is Yard Work Calories?

Yard Work Calories (YWC) refers to the number of calories burned while performing yard work activities. This calculation takes into account the total time spent doing yard work and the individual's body weight, providing an estimate of the energy expenditure.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Yard Work Time ( $T$ ) = 120 minutes
Body Weight ( $BW$ ) = 180 lbs

Using the formula:

$YWC = \frac{120}{60} \times 300 \times \left( \frac{180}{150} \right) = 2 \times 300 \times 1.2 = 720 \text{ calories}$

The yard work calories burned is 720 calories.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Yard Work Time ( $T$ ) = 90 minutes
Body Weight ( $BW$ ) = 160 lbs

Using the formula:

$YWC = \frac{90}{60} \times 300 \times \left( \frac{160}{150} \right) = 1.5 \times 300 \times 1.07 = 480.75 \text{ calories}$

The yard work calories burned is 480.75 calories.
