min

Methodology

Uses MET value of 10.0 for moderate burpees. Formula: Calories = MET x weight(kg) x hours. Based on the Compendium of Physical Activities.

FAQ

How many calories does burpees burn?

A 70 kg person burns approximately 700 calories per hour at moderate intensity.

Is burpees good for weight loss?

Yes, burpees can burn significant calories and contribute to a calorie deficit for weight loss.

What MET value is used?

Moderate burpees has a MET value of approximately 10.0.

How does intensity affect calorie burn?

Higher intensity increases the MET value and thus calorie burn. Vigorous effort can burn 50-100% more.

how many calories burn in 50 burpees

Fifty burpees burn roughly 45 to 55 calories for a 70 kg adult performing them at moderate intensity, using the MET of 10.0 baked into the calculator. Pace matters: an unbroken 50 reps in about four minutes hits the higher end, while pausing between reps drops the total. For a personal estimate that accounts for your weight, set duration to the time it takes you to finish the set and pick the matching intensity.

how many calories does 20 burpees burn

At moderate intensity, 20 burpees burn about 18 to 22 calories for a 70 kg adult. The Compendium of Physical Activities assigns burpees a MET of 10.0, which works out to roughly 12 calories per minute at 70 kg, so 20 reps done in around 90 to 120 seconds land in that range. Heavier athletes and faster paces both push the number up — use the calculator to dial in your own weight and duration.

how many burpees to burn 500 calories

The page doesn't give a per-burpee calorie figure, only an hourly estimate. For reference, a 70 kg person burns roughly 700 calories per hour of moderate burpees. At that rate, burning 500 calories would take about 43 minutes. The actual number of reps depends on your pace and intensity.

how many calories does 25 burpees burn

For a 70 kg adult, 25 burpees burn roughly 22 to 28 calories at moderate intensity, based on the MET value of 10.0 used by the calculator above. The exact number depends on body weight (heavier people burn more) and pace — a fast, all-out 25 reps can push the figure 50 percent higher. Plug your own weight and time into the calculator to get a personal estimate.

how many burpees to burn 100 calories

The page doesn't give a per-burpee calorie figure, only an hourly estimate. For reference, a 70 kg person burns about 700 calories per hour of moderate burpees, so roughly 100 calories would take about 8 to 9 minutes at that pace. The actual number of burpees depends on your cadence and intensity.
