Per exercise calorie burned

academy73 · September 2012

I am trying to find a website or tool that I can use to figure out how many calories are burned per amount of exercise performed. ie...50 jumping jacks instead of 15 minutes doing jumping jacks.

I have a list of different exercises that takes me about 30-35 minutes doing various things. Squats, lunges, jumping jacks ect. But can't find anywhere to look up calories burned for different things.

Any help or ideas?

Thanks
Laurie

I don't know how accurate this is, but months & months ago I was given this as a guide to burning 100 calories:
40 jumping jacks,
30 crunches
20 squats
10 pushups

So if that is accurate, it seems to be 1cal per movement. Although I tend to err on the side of cauction and half it to 0.5cal per movement

What I've found is that, generally, if it's vigorous exercise, it's about 100 calories per 10 minutes, give or take. When I do circuit training (what you are describing) I burn around 300 calories for 30 minutes....a little less, actually, at my current weight. So that's the general rule I use for most of my work outs.

^^ exactly. I go by about 100 calories per 10 minutes of rigorous exercise.

Have you considered getting a heart rate monitor that monitors calories? It might be a good idea if you're looking into it that much.

Thanks for all of the replies! I'll figure the 100 cal per 10 min estimate
