' which has the lowest calorie burn of 56 calories in 30 minutes, for a typical adult weighing 190 pounds (86 Kg).
To help you find the information you need, we first focus on massage therapist, standing which is the most common different occupations activity. This is followed by the activities with the highest burn rate which is forestry, ax chopping, very fast, 1.25 kg axe, 51 blows/min, extremely vigorous effort, and the lowest which is farming, milking by machine, light effort, giving the average calories burned per minute and per hour, along with food calorie equivalents and our new proprietary calories burned score© and calories burned rank©The calorie score gives an indication of the relative burn rate of the different occupations activities measured as a percentage score out of 100 for the different different occupations activities, where 100% is the maximum calorie burn which we estimate from running at a pace of 4 minutes per mile which is a world class speed for running for 30 mins.
The calorie rank is the rank of the different occupations activity compared with all other 800 activities in our database to give an indication of the percentage of activities which have a higher or lower calorie burn. A rank of 1 means it is the highest ranking activity in terms or calorie burn and a rank of 100 means it is the activity with the lowest carlorie burn compared with all other activities.
Although the above is a typical example for different occupations, the calculator we use to determine the calories burnt depends on the intensity, duration and your body weight. At the bottom of the article we have a variety of different intensities which can be personalized based on your weight and the duration of the activities, using our free calculator.
