How Many Calories Does Singing Burn?
Quick Answer: Singing burns approximately 75-110 calories per 30 minutes for a 155-pound person depending on intensity.
Singing is a light physical activity that engages your diaphragm, core muscles, and respiratory system. While not a high-calorie burner, it offers mental health benefits like stress reduction and mood improvement.
Benefits of Singing
- Respiratory workout: Improves lung capacity and breathing
- Core engagement: Activates diaphragm and abdominal muscles
- Stress relief: Releases endorphins and reduces cortisol
- Mental health: Boosts mood and reduces anxiety
