Burpees anyone???

annmaryjenkins · March 2013

I am in love with burpees!! they are the perfect for a whole body workout...leg, chest ,back, core..the whole package.. but now that I am trying to keep up with calories I don't know how many calories does burpees burn.. I do 75 with push ups before I go to bed.. ..I do sets of 30, 20 15, 10.. back to back.. maybe a few seconds break in between..any idea how many calories this burn.. I am 135 pounds 5'1..
Thanks!!!

I'm not sure if this will help or not:
They are similar to what we used to call squat thrusts. "Squat thrusts are usually included as part of a high-intensity circuit or a calisthenic workout, which burns about 298 calories in just 30 minutes for a 155-pound person." from: http://healthyliving.azcentral.com/squat-thrusts-weight-loss-11569.html

Wear a HRM a few times to see about how many calories you're burning. I have a love/hate relationship with burpees. lol
