5,012 burpees

Allow me to introduce you to the Red Velvet Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcake.

(Yes, it’s a mouthful…in more than one way)

What I wouldn’t do for a Red Velvet Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcake right now.

Well, actually…5,012 burpees is what I wouldn’t do for this cupcake.

This little sucker is 1,253 calories.

That’s almost an entire day’s worth of calories in one cupcake.




I would instantly gain 1/4 of a pound.

It would take 5,012 burpees for me to burn off this cupcake.

5,012 burpees.

If I did 15 burpees per minute, none stop, it would take me almost 6 hours of burpees to burn the cupcake.

If I did 20 burpees per day, it would take me 251 days to burn the cupcake.

Cupcake anyone?

    1. i know! If restaurants listed burpees on the menu in place of calories - I truly believe we would solve America's obesity crisis...

  2. You estimate that a burpee burns just one quarter of a calorie? That seems a little low. I'd think it was just a little higher. Still, believe me --- point taken. I'm just trying to figure the math to apply it to myself.

  3. 40 burpees = 10 calories (for my body stats)
