I would like to try and figure out how many calories I burn per sit up.
I've heard a person can do about 10 sit ups per minute...but honestly, I think I to just a tad more than that.
But when I use the calculator under exercise, it says I burn 19 calories per minute.
Does that seem correct?

    It should take about 2 seconds to do an average sit up, which means more 30 per minute, at 9 calories a minute it's about .33 calories per sit up. I usually rattle off 100 in sets of 20 with a short rest in between.
