Questions
How are calories burned calculated?
With MET values from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities. One MET is your resting energy use (about 3.5 ml of oxygen per kg per minute). Calories per minute = MET × 3.5 × body weight in kg ÷ 200.
Why do fitness bands show a different number?
Bands estimate from heart rate and movement and may or may not include the calories you would burn anyway at rest. MET figures are averages for adults — your fitness, technique, terrain and effort change the real number.
How much exercise do I need?
WHO recommends at least 150–300 minutes of moderate activity (like brisk walking) or 75–150 minutes of vigorous activity (like running) a week for adults, plus muscle-strengthening on two or more days.
