I ran on the spot for 30 minutes, is that good enough?

I ran on the spot for 30 minutes.
5 minutes
then 4 minutes
3 minutes
2 minutes
1 minute.
And then repeated
5 minutes
4minutes
3minutes
2minutes
1minute.

Is that good enough, for today?

And how many calories would the average person burn doing this?

    It depends how tall you are, your weight, and what your goals are. Unless you are quite a bit overweight, I can't see this doing all that much for you. It is better than nothing, though.

    for your weight and male, depending on your height, around 250 calories for 30 minutes.

    150 calories is for a smaller person or maybe someone who is in better physical health.

    That's sounds boring! Dude, try HIITs instead! You'll burn way more calories doing that and there is an afterburn bonus (which means you keep burning calories all day long). And it's way more fun :wink:
