Frequently Asked Questions
What is a MET?
One Metabolic Equivalent ≈ the energy you burn at rest. Walking is ~3.5 METs, running 8 km/h is ~8 METs, so it burns over twice the calories per minute.
Why do machines show different numbers?
Treadmills and watches estimate from formulas and heart rate, often including your total burn vs the extra burn from exercise. Expect ±20% anywhere.
