Similarly, it is asked, how many calories does an hour of tumbling burn?
For instance, a 4-hour gymnastics workout burns just 1,000 calories, far less than the 2,400 calories burned during a brisk, 4-hour jog, according to Harvard Medical School.
Similarly, how does cheerleading affect your body?
Besides immediate injuries, cheerleading can have long-term effects on the body as well.

According to Fit Day, “chewing gum burns roughly 11 calories an hour.” This may seem small, but think about it… if you chew gum every day for 4 hours you will have burned approximately 300 calories by the end of the week. Just make sure you are chewing sugarless gum to avoid unnecessary calories, and painful cavities.
