Fitness Calculators

Calorie Burn Calculator

Estimate calories burned across eighteen common activities using MET values combined with body weight and session duration for an accurate kcal figure.

Cycling FTP Calculator

Estimate cycling Functional Threshold Power from a 20-minute or ramp test, with a full seven-zone power training breakdown.

Exercise Calorie Estimator

Estimate calories burned using sex-specific heart-rate-based regression formulas from average heart rate, weight, age, and duration.

FTP Power Zones Calculator

Calculate the 7 standard cycling power training zones from your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) using the Coggan zone system.

Half Marathon Pace Calculator

Calculate half marathon pace or finish time from the official 21.0975 km distance, with checkpoint splits at 5K, 10K, 15K, and 20K.

Heart Rate Recovery Calculator

Calculate your 1-minute heart rate recovery after intense exercise, a recognized indicator of cardiovascular fitness.

Heart Rate Zone Calculator

Calculate five training heart rate zones using the Karvonen method or percentage of max heart rate, from age and resting heart rate.

Hiking Time Calculator

Estimate total hiking time using Naismith's Rule, factoring trail distance, elevation gain, elevation loss, and walking pace.

Karvonen Target Heart Rate Calculator

Calculate a personalized target heart rate using the Karvonen method, which accounts for resting heart rate and fitness level.

Marathon Pace Calculator

Calculate marathon pace or finish time from the official 42.195 km distance, with checkpoint splits at 5K, 10K, half, and beyond.

MET Calorie Calculator

Calculate calories burned during an activity using its standardized MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value, body weight, and duration.

Navy Body Fat Calculator

Estimate body fat percentage using the US Navy circumference method from waist, neck, height, and (for women) hip measurements.

One Rep Max Calculator

Estimate your one-rep max using the Epley, Brzycki, or Lombardi formula from a submaximal set, plus a full rep-range percentage chart.

Pace Calculator

Solve for pace, time, or distance from any two running variables, with results shown in hours, minutes, and seconds for any race distance.

Riegel Race Time Predictor

Predict your race time at a new distance from a known race result using Riegel's classic exponential prediction formula.

Steps to Calories Calculator

Estimate calories burned from a step count using stride length and body weight to first calculate distance walked.

Swim Calories Calculator

Estimate calories burned swimming using stroke-specific MET values across freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and more.

Training Volume Calculator

Calculate total training volume (sets times reps times weight) for tracking progressive overload in strength training.

VO2 Max Calculator

Estimate VO2 max using the Cooper 12-minute run test or a resting heart rate ratio method, with results mapped to a fitness category.

Wilks Score Calculator

Calculate your Wilks score from bodyweight and total lifted using the 1994 Wilks coefficient formula, letting lifters of any size be fairly compared.

Training With Numbers Instead of Guesswork

Effective training depends on working at the right intensity, not just working hard — heart rate zones, pace targets, and calorie estimates all help translate "how it feels" into something you can actually plan around. These eleven calculators cover the core fitness and endurance math.

Heart Rate Training Zones

Zone 1: Recovery (50-60% max HR)
Easy
Zone 3: Aerobic (70-80% max HR)
Moderate
Zone 5: Max Effort (90-100% max HR)
Max
Standard five-zone heart rate training model, as a percentage of estimated maximum heart rate. Calculated with the Heart Rate Zone Calculator.

Most endurance training plans deliberately spend the majority of weekly volume in the lower zones (1-2), with only a small fraction in zones 4-5 — a ratio that surprises many new runners who assume harder is always better. Find your own zones with the Heart Rate Zone Calculator.
