Alright well this evening I did 20 toyota jumps, 20 front to back, 20 side to side, 20 scissors, 10 moutntain climbers, 15 curl ups, 30 crunches, 15 obliques on each side, jogged for a WHOLE 12 minutes and 15 seconds straight, and then I stretched my legs out since I jogged for a while. I got really sweaty doin all this and all that good stuff and I was just wondering how many calories did I burn by doing that short exercise session?!

and also, you should stretch everything after these workouts, not just your legs. this is to avoid being sore, even though you didn't work these parts. [ barthez4's advice column | Ask barthez4 A Question ]
sk8rgurl answered Saturday September 18 2004, 7:43 pm: u probably burned some..but not a whole lot cuz the only time u burn a lot of caloires is when ur heart has been pumping for a long time...and curl ups and the stuff u did didnt have much long term heart pumping.....i would suggest just running for like 15-30 mins a day with curlups ..its probably more effective..

Try searching about the exercises that you did... There should be information on the internet that allows you to work out about how many calories you've burned...
