    Plank, either with arms extended or on your forearms. At 189# you can burn 267 calories by holding the position for one minute. I do three a day now. It took me a month to build up to the minute. I then do a couple of boats, also holding a minute each.

    I question this.

    Don't believe this for a minute. More like 5-10 calories per minute.

    267 calories a minute? :/

    OP, If it sounds too good to be true...

    ...do some research. :)

    LOL. NO.
    Planks are very good, but the calorie burn is ridiculously off.
