How We Calculate Calories Burned for CrossFit in Houston
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Houston:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 12 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 12 for crossfit is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Houston's average temperature of 65°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
CrossFit combines elements of weightlifting, gymnastics, and high-intensity cardio into constantly varied workouts of the day (WODs). The high-intensity functional movements performed at maximum effort make CrossFit one of the highest calorie-burning exercise programs. Workouts typically last 15-30 minutes but deliver extraordinary metabolic demand. CrossFit builds all-around fitness across strength, power, speed, coordination, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance simultaneously.
