I'm trying to find out how much calorie us burned by planking. Myfitnesspal website calculator show that in 5mins of planking i have burned 1107 calories.

I got sweatie after that 5 minutes planking switching from full to elbow plank for 1 minute each but i just can't believe it burned all those calories.

Hope someone can shed some light on this. :)

Thanks guys!

    I assure you, you did not burn anywhere close to that amount of calories planking for 5 mins

    Planks are tough, but you're not exactly moving around burning up a lot of calories. Perhaps "calisthenics, home, light/moderate effort". 5 min = 18 calories.

    That has to be a glitch. I checked and MFP gives me 19 calories for 5 minutes. While it will go up or down depending on your weight, it won't vary THAT much.

    Yeah, no. Personally I wouldn't even log the burn from planking, no matter how great or small.
