So this keeps popping up on my pinterest page and I can't believe this would burn 100 calories. Thoughts?
100 Calorie Burn:
40 Jumping Jacks
30 crunches
20 squats
10 push ups
i mean....

I don't think so either. If you have a HRM (heart rate monitor) test it out.0

This is approximately 2 minutes of work. So, yes, I don't think so either.0

If I'm powering through a spin class I can get about a 5kal per minute burn.
A few star jumps? Nah!0 -
Nah, don't reckon so. Maybe 30-35 for me.0

Seemed a little to good to be true0

Minus the crunches (I don't do those), that's about my "warm up" for my body weight workouts. That's probably about 10 calories (dependent on your body weight) for the listed activities (all of them, in total).0 -
Quite a few of the Pinterest workouts I see posted are full of false advertising. Flat abs in two weeks, super toned arms in 5 workouts, muffin top gone with just three workouts per week - drives me nuts when I see my friends pinning that stuff.
And I agree that this one would hardly burn 100 cals. Maybe if you did 10 rounds of it.....0 -
No. Maybe if you kept continuously repeating that circuit for 20-30 minutes.0

They added an extra 0. They must have meant 10 calories0
