The Science Behind Your Result
How does the recumbent bike calorie calculator work?
The calculator estimates the calories burned during a recumbent bike workout using a heart-rate-based energy expenditure equation. It considers your age, sex, body weight, estimated workout heart rate, and workout duration.
A Personalized Estimate
Your result is shaped by more than workout time.
Two people can complete the same ride and receive different calorie estimates. Body weight, age, sex, workout heart rate, intensity, and duration all influence estimated energy use.
Five Key Inputs
What influences your calorie burn?
The calculator combines five personal and workout factors to estimate energy expenditure during a recumbent bike workout at home .
Age
Age affects both the maximum heart rate estimate and the sex-specific energy expenditure equation.
Sex
The Keytel equation uses different coefficients for men and women.
Workout intensity
Your selected training zone is used to estimate your average workout heart rate.
Workout duration
The estimate scales with the number of minutes spent exercising.
Calculation Method
Keytel heart-rate-based calorie burn formula
The calculator uses the sex-specific equations published by Keytel et al. to estimate energy expenditure during submaximal exercise. Weight entered in pounds is converted to kilograms before the calculation.
