This tool helps you estimate the number of calories you can burn during a sauna session.
How to Use the Sauna Calories Calculator
To use this calculator, you need to input your weight in kilograms, the session time in minutes, and the sauna temperature in degrees Celsius. Once you’ve filled in all the fields, hit the “Calculate” button to see the estimated number of calories burned during your sauna session.
How It Works
The sauna calories calculator works by taking your weight, the duration of your session, and the sauna temperature to estimate the number of calories burned. The formula used assumes that the base calorie burn rate is 0.042 kcal per minute per kilogram of body weight, modified by the sauna temperature. The temperature factor adjusts the calorie burn rate based on how much higher or lower it is from a standard sauna temperature of 70°C.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate and may not be entirely accurate for everyone. Factors such as individual metabolism, the exact type of sauna, and overall physical condition could significantly alter calorie burn rates. Always consult with a healthcare provider for precise health and fitness advice.
