How many calories are burned ?

Question

How many calories are burned per minute, with dancing, not super hard core, but not barely doing anything, a medium speed, does anyone know how many calories are burned? Also how many calories should an 11 year old 5'4" burn, and eat a day, to lose about 15 punds?

Answer 1

Try this calorie burn calculator, it calculates the number of calories

burned for the time specified  for each exercise/activity.

you should burn 3500 calories to lose one pound, so, establish your time frame - how much time it will take you to lose 15 pounds, say, two month - and calculate.

Answer 3

Dancing: not much, dependent on how hard you work, possibly 10-20 calories.

An 11 year old shouldn't be worried about losing weight, nor counting calories. Get him/her active in some sort of sport or activity if they are starting to get fat, going on a DIET, Is NOT SAFE.

Answer 4
