MET minutes calculator guide
WeCovr's MET minutes calculator estimates exercise load from session intensity, duration, and weekly frequency.
What MET minutes mean
MET minutes combine how hard an activity is with how long you do it for, giving a simple workload measure.
Uses MET value times minutes.
Can scale to a weekly total.
Helpful for broad activity tracking.
Why weekly MET minutes matter
A weekly total helps people compare activity patterns across different sessions and exercise types.
Keep the number in context
MET values are general estimates, not personalised lab measurements, so the result is best used for rough tracking rather than precision.
Activity tracking tools
| Tool | Focus | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| MET minutes | Workload estimate | Weekly activity tracking |
| Calories burned | Energy estimate | Session review |
| Heart rate zone | Training intensity | Workout control |

FAQs
How do I find a MET value?
You can use standard exercise references or the approximate MET value linked to the activity intensity you are doing.
Are MET minutes the same as calories?
No. MET minutes are an activity-load measure, while calories estimate energy use.
Can I compare one activity with another using MET minutes?
Yes, roughly. That is one of the main reasons people use the measure.
