i was looking at this fitness blog on tumblr and there was a post that said every time you see this do 40 jumping jacks 30 crunches 20 squats and 10 pushups it then said congrats you burned 100 calories and reblog to encourage your followers to get in shape.....i was surprised can doing those simple things really burn 100 calories? it seems to easy

    I very much doubt it. I burn about 100 calories running a mile (in 10 minutes). Sounds like a gimmick to me. But! Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it!:smile:

    If I get inspired I'll put my HRM on and do it, and give you my stats (height, weight, age, gender). Your mileage may vary!

    depends on your size. Smaller you are harder to log big calories. 400 lb person will log higher calorie burns

    I think it depends on your body...I burn over 200 from doing a 25 min level 1 Jillian Michaels Video, and I'm 100lbs, So I'd say that it isn't entirely impossible.
