Note : The Calorie Burner Counter provides an estimate of the number of calories burned for a given activity and length of time. This estimate is taken from Ainsworth, B.E., et al. "Compendium of Physical Activities: a second update of codes and MET values." Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. 2011. Actual calories burned may vary, depending on the intensity of the workout, the age and body composition of the exerciser and other factors. Not all types of physical activity are safe for all individuals. If you have any health conditions or concerns, talk to your health care provider before beginning or increasing your level of exercise.
