Manual calculation for calories burned by heart rate
1. Weigh yourself.
Measure your weight in pounds.
2. Wear your heart monitor while you exercise
3. The Equation for Males
For males, use the equation C = (0.6309 x H + 0.09036 x W + 0.2017 x A — 55.0969) x T / 4.184
Where:
C is the number of calories that you burned
H is your average heart rate
W is your weight
A is your age and
T is the length of your exercise session in minutes
4. The Equation for Females
As an example, a 28-year-old female weighing 146 pounds with average heart rate during a 36 minutes exercise session was 138 bpm.
C = (0.4472 x 138 — 0.05741 x 146 + 0.074 x 28 — 20.4022) x 36 / 4.184 = 301 calories.
