❓ Frequently asked questions

How many calories does one surya namaskar burn?

About 1–2 kcal per round at a steady pace of about 20 seconds a round, so 108 rounds burn roughly 130–170 kcal for a 60–70 kg adult. Faster rounds burn more per minute.

Do squats burn a lot of calories?

About 5–8 kcal a minute; they build the large leg muscles, which helps your metabolism.
