    This document lists various activities and their estimated metabolic equivalent (MET) levels. METs are a unit used to estimate the metabolic cost of physical activities and are multiples of the resting metabolic rate. The document also provides a formula to calculate calories burned per minute for a given activity based on MET level, body weight, and duration. An example calculation is shown for a 40-year old male jumping rope for 2 hours to burn 2,288 calories.

    Circuit training, including kettle bells, vigorous intensity, 8.0
    minimal rest
    Body
    Resistance (weight) training – squats, explosive effort 5.0
    Weight Duration of
    Resistance (weight) training – multiple exercises, 8-15 reps 3.5
