How We Calculate
We use the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula, the standard method used by exercise physiologists. Rowing has a MET value of 7.
Formula: Calories = MET × weight (kg) × duration (hours)
This provides an estimate. Actual calories burned vary based on fitness level, intensity, age, and environmental conditions.
