Researchers believe that stretching does burn calories, but not much. If only 10 minutes of stretching is done daily, then 27 calories can be burnt daily. If a person weighs 68 kg, he can burn 2.7 calories per minute with the help of stretching. On the other hand, if exercise and yoga are also done along with stretching, then more calories can be burnt.

If 1 hour of exercise and stretching is done daily, then 216 to 426 calories can be reduced. Therefore, it can be said that stretching alone cannot burn calories for weight loss. For this, it is also necessary to warm up and exercise.
