Guinness Book of World Records

Katie Poole, Sinead McCready and Donna Elcock, three fast moving fitness instructors from Rochdale, have spun themselves into the Guinness Book of World Records, after breaking the female world record for running the fastest mile while hula hooping. Katie, Sinead and Donna made the record breaking attempt last October, but this month discovered their hard work had been worth it after receiving official confirmation that they had all beaten the existing 20 minute world record. Sinead completed the mile in 14 minutes 24 seconds, Donna in 17 minutes seven seconds and Katie in 19 minutes 14 seconds, during a gruelling afternoon in the wind and rain at Kingsway Park Sports Centre. They were urged on by spectators, observed by official verifiers and a record keeper from Guinness.

Active metabolic rate

AMR calc formula.

To calculate your ideal daily calorie requirement, you need your body weight, age and summary of your typical activity levels.

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories you burn each day whilst completely sedentary. Use the formula below:

Age 10-17 (12.2 x body weight kg) +746
Age 18-29 (14.7 x body weight kg) +496
Age 30-60 (8.7 x body weight kg) + 829
Age 60+ (10.5 x body weight kg) + 596

But no-one sleeps 24 hours a day, so you need to assess your activities on an average 24 hour day to calculate your additional calorie burn.

Activity	BMR
Resting Sleeping, reclining whilst watching TV	1.0
Very light Sitting and standing activities, such as driving, playing cards, typing	1.5
Light Activities comparable to walking at a leisurely pace, light housework, sports such as golf, bowling, archery	2.5
Moderate Walking at a pace of 3½ – 4 miles mph, active gardening, sports such as cycling, tennis, dancing	5.0
Heavy Faster walking, stair and hill climbing, more active sports such as weight lifting, football, running or high intensity cycling	7.0

Account for your average 24 hour day with the number of hours in each category. Multiply the hours in each category by the multiple shown on the right. Add up the totals and divide the grand total by 24. The result should now be multiplied by the BMR reached in the first formula.

If you have accurately assessed your activities, you now know how many calories your body burns in an average day. If you are trying to lose weight you need to consume fewer calories per day. If you want to maintain your weight you need to consume the same calorie intake. If you are trying to gain weight you need to exceed the number of calories burnt.
