Twist Board

I bought a twist board made by everlast from my gym a few weeks ago. I try to do it on and off a few times a day. I am wondering if anyone knows how many calories if any it burns. I know that it works your abs, slims hips and thighs, improves balance, and it strengthens back and calves. I looked at all the directions and it doesn't say if it helps with calories or not. I know that just walking around the house and breathing you burn calories and I want to keep the right amount of calories in my system at all times. If you need more information about the product let me know and I will try to give as much as I can. Thanks in advance.

    I found this site and it didn't have the twist board per se but when I entered Twist Board and my weight and an arbitray time of 30 minutes it said I burned 250 calories. Check this out it may or may not help:

    I have the twist board as well and not sure how to track calories burned by using it, so i just dont. However yes i beleive it does burn calories as i do several reps throughout the day of 100 reps per session. I bought a hrm and havent figured out how to set it up yet to find the calories burned but if i do i will sure post it and add it to the exercise database
