You have been contracted by a popular fitness club to create a Java Program that
will help in the input, calculation, display of calories burnt and pounds lost during a week of
workout for members of the club.
The program will also base on the amount of weight lost update the weight of the user and
calculate and display the users BMI – body mass index using any researched method. See an
example here- http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/formula.html
The club takes part in 5 major types of activities, namely walking, running, swimming, hiking,
and bicycling.
The program is to prompt for the Name of the member, gender, weight in pounds, height and
the time spend on each activity during the week in minutes.
The program will then calculate the calories burnt per activity, the total calorie burnt for the
week and the amount of weight lost during the week.
The amount of weight loss will be used to update the weight that was stored in the array and
calculate the person BMI . http://www.whathealth.com/bmi/formula.html
Activity Calorie Burnt Per pound per minute for
men (women are 1/6 less)
Walking .036
Running .095
Swimming .058
Hiking .058
Bicycling .044
 Calories burned per pound per minute (Bicycling – .044) x (times) your exact weight
(140 pounds) = (equals) total calories burned per minute (6.16 calories burned per
minute) x(times)minutes of activity (30 minutes) = (equals) 184.80 total calories
burned per activity.
 Women burn 1/6 less calories than Men.
