    So, 50 seconds a minute, more or less? For twenty minutes?

    I'd guess you burn 16 calories per minute if you're doing all-out HARD work. If it kills you, it's good for about 15-16. Slower, but high intensity exercise is probably 12-15 calories per minute at your pace.

    So, over twenty minutes, you'd burn 250-300 calories
