Weighted Vest Calorie Calculator
Here’s a comprehensive table for calorie burn using a weighted vest, covering different exercises, estimated calorie burn rates, intensity levels, and various vest weights. This information can serve as a general guide, as actual calorie burn may vary based on individual factors.

Key Points
- Intensity Levels: “Low” generally applies to steady-state walking or light activity, “Moderate” to brisk walking or light jogging, “High” to jogging or light running, and “Very High” to more intense cardio or vigorous activity.
- Calorie Burn Variance: This table offers average estimates based on body and vest weight. Individual burn rates will differ based on factors like fitness level, age, and exercise form.
- Duration and Vest Weight: Increasing the duration or vest weight will proportionally increase calorie burn, as will choosing a higher intensity exercise.
This breakdown helps you tailor exercise plans with weighted vests to optimize calorie burn and gauge how changes in exercise type, duration, or vest weight affect the outcomes.
