For a 160 pound person performing situps at a moderate rate, it will take a little less than 2 hours of continuous situps to burn 500 calories. It will take less time for people who weigh more and will take longer for those who weigh less.

Situps are not a great exercise for burning calories, but they can strengthen your abdominal muscles well. Compare it to running at 8 miles per minute, where the same 160 pound person can burn almost 500 calories in only 30 minutes.

You can burn approximately 57 calories by doing 100 sit ups in 10 minutes. You must burn 3,500 calories to lose a pound. This translates to approximately 6,140 sit-ups per pound lost.

How much calories you burn depends on factors such as your weight, your age, your gender, and what shape you're in. To burn 500 calories, expect to run for fifty minutes to an hour.
