Rucking Calorie Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Goruck Rucking Calorie Formula estimates calories burned during rucking activities specifically for women. Rucking involves walking with a weighted pack, and this calculation helps estimate energy expenditure based on total weight carried and distance covered.
The calculator uses the rucking calorie formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula accounts for the additional energy required to carry weight while walking, with a specific coefficient optimized for women's rucking activities.
Details: Accurate calorie estimation helps women track their energy expenditure during rucking workouts, plan nutrition accordingly, and monitor fitness progress over time.
Tips: Enter body weight in lbs, pack weight in lbs, and distance in miles. All values must be valid (weight > 0, pack ≥ 0, distance > 0).
Q1: Why is this formula specific to women?
A: The formula uses a coefficient (0.4) that has been calibrated for women's metabolism and energy expenditure patterns during rucking activities.
Q2: How accurate is this calorie estimation?
A: While it provides a good estimate, individual results may vary based on factors like pace, terrain, and personal metabolism.
Q3: Can men use this calculator?
A: This calculator is specifically calibrated for women. Men may get different results and should use a formula with a different coefficient.
Q4: What's considered a good rucking workout?
A: A typical rucking workout involves carrying 20-40 lbs for 3-5 miles, but this can vary based on fitness level and goals.
Q5: How does rucking compare to regular walking for calorie burn?
A: Rucking typically burns 40-60% more calories than regular walking at the same pace due to the added weight resistance.
