Anyone good with physics here? Pic related.

I'm trying to estimate the calories I burn during a workout.

Say the mass I'm moving is 20 kg, h is 0,5 meter and I repeat this 540 times.

20 x 0,5 x 10 x 540 =54000 joule = 12,90 kilocalories

I know a 30-40 minute weight lifting session can't burn only 12 kcals but what's wrong in this calculation?

Just wattage from movement does not count for all calories burnt.

If you try a bike, pedal 100 watts for 30 mins, it will tell you you burnt more calories than just Power over Time

The calculation is ok, those are the you would burn IF YOUR BODY WERE 100% EFFICIENT AND MECHANICAL INSTEAD OF ORGANICAL.

But your body is neither.
>>
>>40674080
a big thing about lifting is that your body doesnt just burn calories while it's working, like LISS cardio type stuff does, it continues to burn calories after you've completed your workout. This is why it's difficult to estimate and honestly, not worth your time

Your arms also have mass.
You tense in other muscles when moving weight too.
Your heart rate rises.
Your muscles being repaired burns calories.
I'm sure I could think of other things
>>
you also use energy for recovery of your workout (afterburn effect)

So with every calorie burning factor included, this 12 kcal sums up to 200-300 kcal?
>>
>>40674177
It simply means that your body uses more than 12 kcal to perform something that a 100% efficient device would with 12 kcal.

Just put ur workout in progression app it will give u estimated cals burned

I get about 400 to 500 cals burned per workout, but I think its closer to about 350
