How We Calculate Calories Burned for Weight Training in Atlanta
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Atlanta:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 6 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.00
The MET value of 6 for weight training is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.00 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Atlanta's average temperature of 63°F. Use it to compare scenarios, then rely on consistent tracking and body-weight trends for personal calibration.
Weight training involves using resistance (dumbbells, barbells, machines, or body weight) to build muscle strength, size, and endurance. It is one of the most effective forms of exercise for body composition improvement, as increased muscle mass raises resting metabolic rate. Weight training also strengthens bones, improves joint stability, enhances insulin sensitivity, and reduces the risk of injury in daily activities. The afterburn effect (EPOC) means calories continue to be burned for hours after a weight training session.
