Does singing and playing guitar burn calories?

Answer 1

Any activity burns calories. But, singing does help burn more calories when you are doing an activity.

If singing while standing, you will burn approx 2 calories per min, less calories burned when seated.

Answer 3

Hardly any considering there really are not that many muscles being exercised.

According to the Activity Calculator at http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php singing while sitting for 3 minutes(assume a song is this long) consumes 7 calories on a body weighted 95kg whereas it burns off 10 calories while singing and standding.

for further detail should you visit the website for more information.

Answer 4

If you weigh 150 lbs, you should be burning around 136 kcal in one hour of standing and participating actively. Standing without singing however would burn only 80 kcal. These amounts however might vary in individuals as the Basal Metabolic Rate is unique for everyone and depends on different factors.

Answer 5

Well it varies, depending upon your weight, a normal 145 pound adult would probably lose about 132 calories per hour. If your a child around 13, you would lose much less than that per hour.

Answer 6

During 20 minutes of singing, a person who weighs 150 lbs. burns about 34 calories if sitting down, or 45 calories if singing while standing up, according to CaloriesPerHour.

Answer 7

It actually does, I read somewhere that if you sing, and move at the same time (dance, walk, etc) you can burn 310 calories per hour :D
