How many calories does one push-up burn?

Answer 1

Depends on the weight and metabolism of the individual. A 150 lbs man can burn 3-5 calories and a 250 lbs man burns 4-7 calories.

As the workout continues the rate of caloric burn goes up in response to tiring muscles and fitness level.

Answer 2

The answer is 638 calories per hour. So measure how many minutes you are doing them and divide accordingly. Every minute you burn about 10.63 calories. I figure for every 100 pushups you would burn about 100 calories.

actually it depends on the person's weight, obviously but that is all i know right now.

Answer 3

It depends how long it takes to do those pushups. If you do 50 pushups in one set or a few sets (2 or 3) you will burn about 500 calories. This assumes that you are of an average weight... that being about 150 pounds. If you weigh more, it will burn a larger amount; more towards 600 There is no way you burn 500 calories doing 50 pushups. Not even close, you only burn about 350-400 riding a bike for a half hour; not a chance that doing pushups, nevermind only 50 of them, will burn 1/4 of your suggested caloric intake for the day.

Answer 4

by doing 10 push ups you burn 21 calories so by doing 1 its 2.1 and by doing a 100 you would burn a estimate of 210 calories. so doing 500 you would burn 1050, e.t.c. by doing 10 push ups you burn 21 calories so by doing 1 its 2.1 and by doing a 100 you would burn a estimate of 210 calories. so doing 500 you would burn 1050, e.t.c.

Answer 5

Press ups are an anaerobic exercise therefore you burn few calories performing them.It's virtually impossible to calculate the amount of calories burnt because we all possess different physiologys.

Answer 6

Pushups is not a great way to burn calories, it's just a great way to tone your muscles. If you're lucky you'll burn 5-8 calories from 10 pushups.

Answer 7

I think 2 or 3.

Answer 8

6 to 10 calories at most
