Heart Rate Based Calorie Burn Calculator
The metabolic process of burning calories and heart rate are associated. The rate at which calories are used up is connected with the rate at which the heart beats. For an accurate reading of calories burnt by heart rate requires the heart rate to be between 90 bpm and 150 bpm. This can be best achieved during an exercise, also taking into account the age, gender, weight and duration of the exercise. The ideal method is to calculate calorie burnout through bursts of fast, high intensity exercises alternately followed by a longer stretch of low intensity workouts. This is also known as Interval Training, which is highly effective in losing those extra pounds faster and in maintaining body weight.
While exercising, your muscles use energy (and, hence, burn calories) while contracting. Calories are converted from their erstwhile nutrient state to the form that can be burned by the muscles through the process of cellular respiration. For that, oxygen is pumped to the muscle cells through the bloodstream. This inter-related process is what allows you to measure your calorie expenditure by your heart rate. The higher the intensity level of your workout, the more you burn calories, the faster your heart beats to supply oxygen to the active muscles so that the calories can convert into energy that can be burned.
