Best Answer: Vacuuming burns ~0.024 calories/min/Lb. You burned 0.024*10min*108 = ~26 calories. Best of luck and good health! Impossible to answer since vacuuming is an intermittent activity, and there are too many other variables. Regardless 10 minutes of ANYTHING doesn't burn enough calories to matter. Unless of course you were to run 2 miles in 10 minutes, which would burn something like 200-250 calories. Your cardiovascular system isn't capable of transferring enough oxygen to do anything close to that, though, so its irrelevant.
Minute for minute, using an elliptical machine is likely to burn more calories than walking. According to recent estimates by the Mayo Clinic, a 160-pound person using an elliptical machine for an hour would burn 365 calories. The same person walking for an hour would burn 314 calories. (If that person used a stair-stepping machine, he or she would burn 657 calories, by the Mayo calculations.) The person on the elliptical machine also would put far less stress on his or her joints during the workout.
