I have a maximum of 20 pushups, which means for each drill I do a set of 14 reps, then 10 reps, then 6 reps in a period of 2 minutes. For those that don't know, the perfect pushup bars are pushup bars that twist while doing the pushup maneuvers making it infinitely harder. The perfect pushup comes with drills for regular, wide and close pushups. Their website has 10 extra routines you can do, called the Power 10 workout (http://www.perfectfitness.com).
Regular Pushup
Time: 1:58
Avg HR: 99 bpm
Peak HR: 112 bpm
Calories Burned: 12
Shoulder Press (from the Power 10)
Time: 1:55
Avg HR: 99 bpm
Peak HR: 115bpm
Calories Burned: 12
So as you can see I was pretty consistent with the 12 calories burned. But in 2 minutes, how much can you really burn. My heart rate was pretty much at its peak as I was finishing and so if it were a three minute drill I am sure the calories burned would go up exponentially. Don't let the calories burned fool you, they are extremely tough 2 minutes. When you finish your chest feels like it will explode and for 20 minutes you'll look like you've been bench-pressing for years.
