Burpee Calorie Calculator
Estimate calories burned doing burpees based on body weight, reps, and duration.
How Many Calories Do Burpees Burn?
This Burpee Calorie Calculator estimates energy burned during burpee workouts using body weight and rep count. Burpees combine a squat, plank, push-up, and jump into one full-body movement. Enter your weight and number of burpees for instant calorie estimates with a low-to-high range. For broader activity estimates, use our Calories Burned Calculator.
The Burpee Calorie Formula
Calories = (Weight in lbs / 150) × 0.5 × N, where N is the number of burpees. One burpee burns about 0.5 calories for a 150 lb person. A 172 lb person doing 10 burpees burns roughly 5.7 kcal. The range accounts for pace and effort variation (slower knee push-ups vs. explosive full push-ups).
Burpee Exercise Benefits
Burpees work legs, core, chest, and arms in a single move. They boost cardiovascular endurance and burn calories efficiently. Beginners can start with squat thrusts (half burpees) without the push-up or jump until building strength for the full movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does one burpee burn?
About 0.5 calories for a 150 lb person. Heavier individuals burn more; a 200 lb person burns roughly 0.67 calories per burpee using the standard formula.
How do I calculate calories burned doing burpees?
Use Calories = (Weight lbs / 150) × 0.5 × number of burpees. For 172 lbs and 10 burpees: (172/150) × 0.5 × 10 = 5.7 kcal.
Why is there a calorie range?
Actual burn depends on pace and effort. Fast explosive burpees with full push-ups burn more than slow knee push-up variations. The range uses 85% to 115% of the mean estimate.
Should I do burpees every day?
Daily burpees are not required for results. Vary your workouts to build balanced strength and avoid overuse injuries. Burpees work well in HIIT circuits 2 to 4 times per week.
What is a beginner alternative to burpees?
Try squat thrusts or half burpees: skip the push-up and/or jump. These build the same movement pattern with less intensity until you are ready for full burpees.
