    As I understand it squats equal .096 calories burned per pound per minute.

    To calculate the amount of calories you burn while doing squats without additional weights, multiply your weight by .096. Take the answer and multiply it by the amount of minutes you perform the exercise. For instance, if you weigh 160 lbs. and you take 15 minutes to complete your squats, you will burn approximately 230 calories.

    Volunteer to do all of the dishes tonight, that will probably help.
    But honestly 100 calories is is like .02857 pounds, so I wouldn't worry about it too much if you just continue working rather than running up and down the stairs.

    I weigh 212. I'm almost certain I wouldn't burn 20 calories per minute doing squats. I'm sorry to sound so pessimistic but I just can't see how??

    i wasn't being rude, just pointing out the obvious, that sometimes people tend to overlook.

    seriously had a conversation with someone once about how boring her running was, on the treadmill all the time. i told her to take it outside, maybe find a trail or something. now she loves trail running.

    so maybe plan ahead next time. preparation is the key to success. i keep an umbrella in the car in case of rain, along with a rain jacket (can't hold up an umbrella and change a tire), but i also have a bag with work out clothes, just in case. also doubles to change into in case i ever do have to change that tire in the rain and i still end up soaked.

    I typically burn 12 per minute by running according to my HRM. 20 by doing squats seems excessive. Anyway good luck in your journey.

    okay, then drop the cookie.

    if you want to scrub 100 calories from your day, the most reasonable solution is to reduce your caloric intake by 100, instead of futzing around and tapping your toes under your desk or something in an effort to burn an extra 100
