About the Gardening Calories Burned Calculator
General gardening mixes light and heavy tasks such as digging, raking and carrying.
Gardening has a MET value of 4.0, which means it uses about 4.0 times the energy you spend at rest. For a 70 kg person, 30 minutes burns about 147 kcal and a full hour about 294 kcal.
How the calories are estimated
Calories = MET × 3.5 × weight (kg) ÷ 200 × minutes
MET (metabolic equivalent of task) rates how hard an activity is compared with resting. The result is an estimate: your real burn depends on fitness, technique, terrain and conditions.
