    That sounds about right to me. When I use my elliptical I burn between 6-10 calories a minute (depending on how much effort I put forth) and i'm 5'6" and 149 lbs. Same goes for the squats, jumping jacks, etc...depends on how much effort you put into it. If you kept your heart rate up the whole time, it could be right.
