When to use

Use to estimate the calories burned during a period of physical activity.

Why use

It uses the standard MET (metabolic equivalent) method: energy burned depends on the activity intensity, your body weight and the time spent.

Advice

Figures are approximate and vary with pace, fitness and technique. Any activity counts — aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.
