Calories burned
impulse training system
662 kcal / hour Impulse Training System burns approximately 662 calories per hour for a 70 kg (154 lb) adult, and 331 calories in 30 minutes. Across the normal adult weight range the hourly figure runs from about 473 to 1,134 kcal.
It carries a MET value of 9 in the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities.

How this is worked out
- Take the MET value for impulse training system from the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities: MET 9.
- Convert MET to a rate using the ACSM relationship: multiply by 3.5, then by body mass in kilograms, then divide by 200. That gives kilocalories per minute.
- Multiply the rate by the number of minutes actually spent.
- Round to whole kilocalories. Nothing else is applied — no age factor, no sex factor, no proprietary adjustment, because the underlying data does not support one.
kcal/min = MET × 3.5 × mass(kg) ÷ 200 kcal = kcal/min × minutes 9 × 3.5 × 70 ÷ 200 = 11.03 kcal/min 11.03 × 60 min = 662 kcal
Calories burned impulse training system by body weight
Energy cost scales with the mass you move, so body weight changes the answer more than anything else.
| Body weight | 15 min | 30 min | 45 min | 60 min | 90 min |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 kg (110 lb) | 118 | 236 | 354 | 473 | 709 |
| 60 kg (132 lb) | 142 | 284 | 425 | 567 | 850 |
| 70 kg (154 lb) | 165 | 331 | 496 | 662 | 992 |
| 80 kg (176 lb) | 189 | 378 | 567 | 756 | 1,134 |
| 90 kg (198 lb) | 213 | 425 | 638 | 851 | 1,276 |
| 100 kg (220 lb) | 236 | 473 | 709 | 945 | 1,418 |
| 110 kg (243 lb) | 260 | 520 | 780 | 1,040 | 1,559 |
| 120 kg (265 lb) | 284 | 567 | 850 | 1,134 | 1,701 |

What 662 calories an hour actually means
At MET 9, impulse training system counts as very vigorous activity — it uses about 9 times the energy your body burns sitting still. For a 70 kg adult that works out to roughly 11 kcal per minute, or 662 kcal across a full hour.
Within conditioning exercise, that ranks 12th of 53 activities by energy cost, a little below stair treadmill ergometer (MET 9.3) and above pound (MET 8.5).
Put differently: one hour of impulse training system costs about the same energy as 135 minutes of ordinary walking.
On the food side, a can of cola (about 140 kcal) takes roughly 13 minutes of impulse training system to offset at that body weight. That framing is useful for scale, but it is worth saying plainly: exercise and diet are not a ledger that cancels neatly, and appetite tends to rise with activity.
A number this clean is a model. It does not know your gradient, your gear, the wind, or how hard you were actually trying.
Questions
How many calories does impulse training system burn per hour?
About 662 kcal per hour for a 70 kg (154 lb) adult, using the Compendium MET value of 9. A 90 kg adult burns closer to 851 kcal in the same hour, because energy cost scales almost directly with body mass.
How many calories does 30 minutes of impulse training system burn?
Roughly 331 kcal at 70 kg, 284 kcal at 60 kg and 473 kcal at 100 kg. Halving the time halves the calories — the relationship is linear.
What is the MET value of impulse training system?
9. One MET is the energy you use sitting quietly, so MET 9 means 9 times that rate.
Is this an exact number of calories?
No, and no calculator can give you one. MET values are population averages measured in laboratory conditions; your own figure varies with fitness, technique, terrain, temperature and body composition. Treat these numbers as a solid estimate for planning, not a precise measurement — and treat any device or site claiming three-digit precision with suspicion.
