> The burpee calorie calculator estimates the calories you burn doing a number of burpees, from your body weight and the pace you keep, with a low–high range.

## Inputs

- Number of burpees
- Body weight (kg, lb)
- Pace

## Results

- Calories burned
- Low estimate
- High estimate
- Per burpee

## Formula

```
kcal ≈ (W_lb / 150) × 0.5 × N (average pace) · range ≈ 0.6–1.4 × the average depending on pace
```

## Explanation

Burpees combine a squat, plank, push-up and jump – a full-body move that spikes your heart rate. A 150 lb (68 kg) person burns roughly half a calorie per burpee at a steady pace, more if moving fast.

- **Calories burned** = [Body weight]÷0.45359237÷150×0.5×[Number of burpees]×[Pace]
- **Low estimate** = [Body weight]÷0.45359237÷150×0.5×[Number of burpees]×0.6
- **High estimate** = [Body weight]÷0.45359237÷150×0.5×[Number of burpees]×1.4
- **Per burpee** = [Body weight]÷0.45359237÷150×0.5×[Pace]
