yes it does burn calories but it isnt very useful because it will burn calories for however long you are sick and then when you get better what ever weight you lost it will try and gain back as quickly as it left.. oh and one more thing if your sick DO NOT WORK OUT!!!! it is sooo bad for you it can make you worse and it can make your immune system alot more seceptible to all kinds of virusis

I am sure about that, but dont worry about it now, if your sick you should be in bed getting rest, and eating chicken noodle soup or sip on gaterade if you dont feel like eating, cause you need fluids. Hope you feel better soon.
