    How many are you doing?

    I enter push-ups as a strenght exercise--not aerobic, so you don't get credit for calories burned, because really you aren't burning all that many.

    I don't count them for calorie burns. Just made my own strength exercise "wall pushups" and record how many I do there.

    You could purchase a Heart Rate Moniter and track the calorie burn that way.

    I do this and it shows I burn about 300 cals in 20 minutes of lifting. I lift heavy though.
