How We Calculate Calories Burned for Bench Press in Anaheim
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Anaheim:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor

The MET value of 5 for bench press is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Anaheim's average temperature of 65°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
The bench press is the most popular upper body strength exercise, performed by pressing a barbell or dumbbells upward while lying on a flat bench. It primarily targets the pectorals (chest muscles) while engaging the anterior deltoids and triceps as synergists. The bench press builds pushing strength that translates to many daily activities and sports. While the calorie burn per rep is moderate, the metabolic demand increases significantly with heavier loads and higher volume sets.
