Why aren't planks included in exercise search?? Does anyone know the calorie burn??

    There is minimal calorie burn in a 2 min plank. If you want to log something put in 5 cal, and that is probably generous.

    Cheers, h.

    Yep, pretty much. If you want to track it for data's sake, I'd think planks would fall under calisthenics, home, light/moderate.

    ETA: Just for fun, I logged 2 min of calisthenics. 7 calories for me. Definitely not a calorie burner, but good for building core strength.

    You don't move during a plank, unless it's a variation, but even moving planks don't burn much.
