Best Answer

Your body can use 100-400 calories playing a Saxophone for an hour. There is a lot to consider, though: most important-your weight, your finger movements, diaphragmatic breathing, muscles in your neck (if you use a neckstrap), oral muscles (for embrasure), ankle flexion and extension (if you're tapping your foot), and even your facial muscles. How many calories your body burns while playing the saxophone also depends on the piece of music that you are playing. You are likely to burn more calories playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" versus "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (but I wouldn't imagine you would play "Twinkle..." for an hour, or the other for that matter).

Do you lose weight playing tennis?

Yes the longer and harder you play the more calories you'll burn. You burn about 15 calories an hour just sitting, so if your running around a court swatting a ball you probably burn somewhere around 600 calories an hour plus it builds up your metabolism which means you'll burn more calories sitting or sleeping. So YES you will lose weight playing tennis.
