Human: How many calories does a person burn by doing the squat thrust exercise? Assistant: 
The squat thrust is a compound exercise that involves both the quadriceps and glutes. It’s a very effective way to build muscle and burn fat at the same time. A person burns approximately 400 calories during a 30-minute session of squats, which is more than double what they would burn if they were just running on the treadmill for the same amount of time.
