Treadmill Calories Calculator
Treadmill screens often show a higher calorie burn than the truth. This free calculator applies the published ACSM walking and running equations to your speed, incline, time and body weight, giving a research-based estimate of calories burned and exercise intensity.
Enter your details above and the result will appear here.
How to use
- Choose walking or running.
- Enter speed, incline and duration.
- Enter your weight and read the estimated burn and METs.
Note
Uses the ACSM metabolic equations: walking VO2 = 0.1 x speed + 1.8 x speed x grade + 3.5; running VO2 = 0.2 x speed + 0.9 x speed x grade + 3.5, with speed in metres per minute and grade as a fraction. Holding the handrails reduces actual burn below these figures. Estimate only — not medical advice.
