Ok, that stuff was junk. You burn about .2 calories per sit-up for the average person. So in other words, 10 sit-ups burns 2 calories. If you're looking to lose weight, I suggest jogging, walking or running. Again based on the average weight and height 1000 sit-ups is equivalent to jogging, running, or walking from around 2.5 to 3.5 mi. for the average person. Pick your poison. DO one of them for 17.5 days eating around the recommended amount of calories per day, and viola, you have lost a pound, though it also helps to switch out some foods, like eat an apple instead of a candy bar, trade in 2% milk for skim, eat vegetables to your meal, grill rather than fry. All these things will help.

I just did a ton of reading on this answer, because I really needed to know the calories per situp. As many have said, it depends on quite a few factors, but it seems the average calories burned per situp is 0.08 calories.

Sit ups do not burn a lot of calories and how many you would burn depends on your actual weight. 250 sit ups would only burn about 25 calories.

The number of calories that 20 sit-ups would burn depend on several factors like weight. On average each set of 10 sit-ups burns 2 calories and therefore 20 of them would burn 4 calories.

This depends on the type of sit-up. A flat lagged sit up will burn more calories than with knees up (just as one example)

How many calories are burned by doing 1 push-up?

Insignificant. The point of exercise isn't the number of calories burned, but about toning muscle and getting EVERYTHING to work at a higher level. If you look at the calories burned for a specific type of exercise, it's a devastatingly small number. But if you look at the number of extra calories that you'll burn by the end of the day following vigorous exercise, it's impressive.

How do you pronounce the name Tegan?

TEE-guhn. :) This is the equivalent to about 50 calories burned per minute. So in the 100m around 5 calories are burned. It only burns a low amount because it is a very short sprint and not many calories need to be burned. Approximately 5 calories burned in the dead lift. This is because it is a very explosive event done in a very short space of time. At the marathon is a long running event, approximately 2500 calories can be burnt. In an Olympic event this could last for about 2.5 hours. In the Tour De France about 5000 calories are burned every day. The race lasts for up to 5 weeks.
