This guide estimates calorie burn during full-body muscle tension practice in Yogkungfu. Calculations are based on a 75 kg (165 lb) person and scaled with additional load.

• Full-Body Isometric Tension: Yogkungfu calorie burn comes from sustained muscle contractions, not just movement.
   
• Load = Higher Burn: Extra weight forces stabilizers and posture muscles to work harder, raising metabolic demand.
   
• Scalable Practice: Beginners can start bodyweight only. Intermediate to advanced practitioners can add vests, bands, or handheld weights.
   
• Comparative Burn: A 10-minute Yogkungfu max-tension set burns similar calories to moderate jogging or calisthenics — but with added strength and breathwork benefits.
   

👉 This positions Yogkungfu as both a healing art and a calorie-burning discipline, especially appealing to those who want fitness + mindfulness in one practice.
