MFP goes by minutes and I just want to say that I did 50.
Apparently I burned a total of 190 calories according to livestrong.com but I don't think that sounds right. Help?

    Vigorous Calisthenics for 2 minutes might come close.

    I figure about 10 cals per min. 50 jacks could take you anywhere between 30 - 50 seconds depending on how fast you do them. So anywhere from 5 - 10 cals. Most places WAY overestimate cals burned.
