How We Calculate Calories Burned for Circuit Training in Los Angeles
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Los Angeles:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 8 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 8 for circuit training is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 accounts for Los Angeles'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.
Circuit training involves performing a series of exercises in sequence with minimal rest between stations. By alternating between upper body, lower body, and core exercises, your heart rate stays elevated throughout the entire workout, combining strength training with cardiovascular conditioning. This time-efficient approach burns significantly more calories than traditional weightlifting because of the sustained elevated heart rate and minimal rest periods.
