Sit ups burn how many calories?

How many calories do sit ups burn?

Sit ups do not burn a lot of calories. This statement may surprise you because television commercials have made you, and many other people, believe that sit ups and crunches produce muscular abs. While sit ups do build abdominal muscles, they do not burn the fat covering the abdominal muscles.

To burn calories you need to perform aerobic exercises. Sit ups will build your ab muscles, but if you want your ab muscles to be visible, then you need to jog, swim, hike, jump rope, or climb stairs. These exercises will burn a lot of calories.
