We have all seen those cute “easy 100 calorie workout” posts. But sadly, those calories burned aren’t always accurate to what your weight it. A person who weighs 180 pounds is going to burn more calories than someone who weighs 135 pounds. So I’ve done the math behind how to get a perfect count

KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER

• Each workout has their own level of intensity which will therefore burn different amounts of calories

• To get an accurate count, each exercise must be done for a full minute without stopping.

HOW TO CALCULATE

• Each exercise below has a matching decimal

• Take the decimal associated with whatever exercise you did and multiply it by your current body weight

• That number will tell you how many calories you burned in one minute of that exercise

Squats~ .096

Push-ups~ .037

Crunches~ .022

Planking~ .022

Jumping jacks~ .037

Arm Circles~ .007

Mountain climbers~ .059

Lunges~ .059

Donkey/Back kicks~ .030

Walking~ .014

Running/sprinting~ .096

Stairs/ Stair climber~ .044

Weight Lifting~ .022

Box jumps~ .096

Burpees~ .059

EXAMPLE

For a 135 pound person- one minute of burpees will burn roughly 8 calories a minute
