It would be practically impossible to lose weight just with exercise alone. An average person weighing 145 lbs. would need to perform a total of 17,500 sit-ups in order to burn a pound of fat which is equivalent to 3500 calories. This is why doctors recommend combining diet and exercise.

How many calories burned in a sit up?

Ok, that stuff was junk. You burn about .2 calories per sit-up for the average person. So in other words, 10 sit-ups burns 2 calories. If you're looking to lose weight, I suggest jogging, walking or running. Again based on the average weight and height 1000 sit-ups is equivalent to jogging, running, or walking from around 2.5 to 3.5 mi. for the average person. Pick your poison. DO one of them for 17.5 days eating around the recommended amount of calories per day, and viola, you have lost a pound, though it also helps to switch out some foods, like eat an apple instead of a candy bar, trade in 2% milk for skim, eat vegetables to your meal, grill rather than fry. All these things will help. directly @topic: .2 calories
