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.

Inputs explained
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Number of burpees | A number |
| Body weight | Units: kg, lb |
| Pace | Choose one: Steady (about 10 per minute), Fast (15+ per minute), Slow / with rests |
What each result means
- 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]
Example values
How the main result changes when Number of burpees changes and everything else stays at the example values above:
| Number of burpees | Calories burned (kcal) |
|---|---|
| 50 | 28.7 |
| 75 | 43 |
| 100 | 57.3 |
| 125 | 71.7 |
| 150 | 86 |
| 200 | 114.6 |
Formula
kcal ≈ (W_lb / 150) × 0.5 × N (average pace) · range ≈ 0.6–1.4 × the average depending on pace
