Question about swinging?

I was at the park swinging for about 50 mins. I don't mean sitting on a swing moving back and forth slowly, I'd say it was an average speed though. It made my legs hurt a little from the motion of going up & down.
Is that even a good way to work out? I can't figure out how many calories it would burn so I'm just curious about it.

Well, you did something, but it's obviously not the most efficient exercise. If you wanted to log it, I would suggest a 25 minute 3 mph walk, but that may even be too much.0

unless you got sweaty and short of breath, i'd say you may have burned 50 calories. When I have a minimal effort work out or when i am working at the hospital and spend much of the day on my feet, i log it as walking 2 mph for about 1/4 to 1/2 of the time i actually did it0

i think "that" kind would burn more calories than swinging on playground swing.
to answer your question - I would say no, it's not a good way to workout and wouldn't record it as such.0 -
