Anything physical burns calories, since movement requires energy and energy comes from the calories you have consumed. If you get your heart rate up and break a sweat from a half and hour to an hour you are burning a considerable amount of calories. That along with a balanced diet (eat lots of vegetables and fruit, drink a minimum of 64 Oz. of water, cut out junk food and carbonated beverages, study your nutritional intake) and you should easily lose a pound or two a week and feel healthier and more energetic.

Gymnastics is very physical and you practice on a daily basis which is important. You're exercising which burns calories and tones muscle.
