How We Calculate Calories Burned for Circuit Training in San Diego
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for San Diego:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 7.5 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 7.5 for circuit training is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for San Diego's average temperature of 64°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
Circuit training involves performing a series of exercises in sequence with controlled rest between stations. Depending on the workout, it can range from light resistance circuits to vigorous kettlebell, calisthenics, or HIIT-style sessions. The calorie burn depends heavily on the exact circuit structure: exercise selection, rest time, load, pace, and whether the workout keeps your heart rate elevated continuously. The default estimate uses the 2024 Adult Compendium value for vigorous circuit training with some aerobic movement and minimal rest.
