How to Calculate Snow Shoveling Calories Burned

There are two steps to calculate snow shoveling calories burned.

Step One.
First, we need to know the MET value of snow shoveling, the greater the MET value, the more calories burned.

We have included 3 kinds of snow shoveling, the snow blower requires the least energy, therefore it has the lowest MET.

Snow shoveling, by hand, with moderate effort has a MET value of 5.3.
Snow shoveling, by hand, with vigorous effort has a MET value of 7.5.
Snow blower, walking, and pushing has a MET value of 2.5.

Step Two.
Then use the following formula:

MET x Body Weight x 3.5 / 200 x time, where
Body weight unit = kg
Time unit = minutes

Example

For example, if a person weighs about 170 pounds (77.11 kg) and shovels snow by hand with moderate effort for 30 minutes.
The calculation is:
5.3 x 77.11 kg x 3.5 / 200 x 30 minutes = 215 kcal.
