Calories Per Pushup. You burn between 1/2 and 1 calorie per pushup, depending on your weight and how vigorously you're exercising. This is consistent for time periods of 10 minutes or one minute.
Calories Burned Doing Pushups. Unlike many types of calisthenics, pushups are hard enough to do that they're considered vigorous-intensity exercises. The number of calories burned by doing pushups will depend on how much you weigh, as it takes more energy to move a larger body. Thus, those weighing 125 pounds burn about 240 calories if they do 30 minutes of vigorous calisthenics, like pushups; a 155-pound person burns about 298 calories; and a 185-pound person burns about 355 calories.
