The aging process changes a lot of things about your health, including the number of calories you burn. This slowdown is caused by an increase in body fat and a decrease in muscle mass. To determine the number of calories you can burn during physical activity, exercise physiologists, trainers, and physical therapists often use metabolic equivalents (METs) for accuracy.

Moderate activity usually comes in around 3 to 6 METs, while vigorous activities are those that burn more than 6 METs. Jumping jacks can range between about 8 and 14 METs, depending on intensity. You can find countless MET tables, like To determine how many calories you’ll burn per minute...
