Use this tool to calculate your daily calorie needs based on the PM5 model.
PM5 Calorie Calculator
This calculator estimates the calories burned using a rowing machine with a PM5 monitor. Enter your weight, stroke rate, and duration to calculate the calories burned.
How to Use it
- Input your weight (in pounds).
- Input your stroke rate (in strokes per minute).
- Input the duration of your workout (in minutes).
- Click “Calculate” to see the total calories burned.
How It Calculates the Results
This calculator uses a formula that takes into account your weight, stroke rate, and duration to estimate the calories burned. The formula used is:
Calories Per Minute = (0.005 * Stroke Rate * Weight) + (0.2017 * Stroke Rate) + (0.09036 * Weight) – 2.9548
The total calories are then calculated by multiplying the calories per minute by the duration of the workout.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate based on the given inputs. Actual calories burned may vary depending on individual differences and other factors not accounted for in this formula.
