A 160 lb person estimates about 273 calories in 30 minutes with this adjustment.
Source & Accuracy Notes
This is a planning calculator. It uses the standard MET approach for estimated activity energy cost, then applies a small local climate adjustment for outdoor conditions. Your real calorie burn can differ because of pace, fitness level, terrain, wind, humidity, clothing, equipment, body composition, and tracker accuracy.

How We Calculate Calories Burned for Aerobics in Salem
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Salem:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 7.3 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 7.3 for aerobics is based on the Compendium of Physical Activities: where the Compendium has a matching row Calorique uses it, and for activities without a dedicated row (for example branded or mixed workouts) the value is Calorique's closest-row planning estimate. The climate factor of 1.03 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Salem's average temperature of 54°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
Aerobic exercise classes combine rhythmic movements with music to provide a structured cardiovascular workout. The 2024 Adult Compendium separates aerobic dance by impact and effort: low-impact moderate classes sit near 4.0 MET, high-impact vigorous classes near 8.0 MET, and weighted aerobic dance can reach 10.0 MET. Water aerobics is a lower-impact pool option at about 5.5 MET. Choose the style that matches active class time, not the class name alone.
