Push-ups burn approximately 0.3 to 0.6 calories per push-up, depending on factors such as body weight, intensity, and pace. For example, doing 10 push- ups typically burns between 3 to 6 calories, while 100 push-ups can burn between 30 to 60 calories on average

. In terms of time, push-ups can burn about 7 calories or more per minute, with an average of 4 to 7 calories per minute depending on speed and effort

. A person weighing around 180 pounds can burn about 34 calories doing 100 push-ups in 5 minutes, or roughly 686 calories in an hour of continuous push- ups

. To burn 100 calories, a person weighing about 185 pounds would need to do push-ups for around 15 minutes at a moderate pace or complete roughly 170 to 340 push-ups depending on intensity

. The exact calories burned vary with:

• Body weight (heavier individuals burn more calories)
• Muscle mass (more muscle increases calorie burn)
• Intensity and pace of push-ups
• Duration of exercise
• Individual fitness level and metabolism

In summary, push-ups are an effective strength exercise that burns calories at a moderate rate, with roughly 0.3 to 0.6 calories burned per repetition and about 7 calories per minute at a steady pace
