theoretically a heavier person will burn more calories running the same distance than a lighter person. There is more muscle and more mass to be moved on a heavier person therefore more energy is needed.

How many situps do you have to do to burn 500 calories?

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.

How many calories do you burn from sitting in a sweat box?

The same amount of calories you burn sitting around anywhere else: almost none. Sweating alone does not burn any calories; it only removes water from your system so you temporarily weigh less. Physical activity is the only thing that burns calories. If you aren't moving, then you aren't burning calories, no matter how much you are sweating.
