in Fitness and Exercise
Hi, I could never figure out how many calories this burns i have two 5 pounds dumbbells that i do reps with, i do about 100 reps on each arm but sometimes i do all sorts of reps with them on my arms and dont know how many calories it will be?
anyone know? or is it under the excercises on here under a different name? i couldn't find anything I was surprised it wasnt there.

    I would put it under "strength training". Good luck on your journey!

    Strength training burns calories way after you have exercised and not just at the time of doing them.

    Very little. It's not worth writing down.
