A stationary bicycle burns a ton of calories, and you can watch television while you do it. Two hours should easily burn 1,000 calories.

There is nothing "easy" about two hours on a stationary bike.

It's also highly unlikely someone could burn 500/hr on an exercise bike for that long.

In fact, your stationary bike recommendation sounds like some pretty terrible advise...

...and given the later revelations in the thread, any suggestion of how OP could go about this would have been inappropriate.

If only you would have had the courage to ask her why she wanted to before providing your response. Fortunately, someone else here was...even you did call him out for it.

Just as walking ten miles (which burns about 100 calories a mile) is easily done. IF you have the time. My stationary bike is similar to an elliptical; your arms move along with your legs. It works whether you only use your arms or legs, or both together. Except you get to sit instead of stand, which reduces pressure on the knees. It does not, however, do anything else, such as add stress or inclines.

I didn't say it was "easy" being on a stationary bike for two hours; I said that if it was done, it would "easily burn" 1,000 calories. Walking ten miles isn't "easy" either, but it does burn about 1,000 calories depending upon what you weigh.

The OP asked a question, and I and a few other people answered it without judgment.

I think you mistook concern for judgement. OP is very young, lean to start with and is looking for ways to burn a drastic amount of calories. These are very concerning points and are the exact reason why people questioned why she is trying to burn so many calories.

I also agree, 1000 calories in 2 hours on a stationary bike is unlikely especially if you aren't increasing tension. It is also very mentally tough to do.

She needs to be talking to her doctor, not a bunch of people on a weight-control website. You've had quite a few posts here, so you've been around the block a few times. Do people who ask questions like this actually end up doing it? Probably not. Maybe half a day. I personally don't think judgment has a place here unless someone asks for specific advice. Otherwise, I just give answers, not advice. Most of the people who ask these questions are not serious in their weight loss venture; just looking for a quick way out. When they are given answers which show there is NOT a quick way out, they usually give up. Or at least I never see them again.

Ironically this the meanest and most judgemental post in the whole thread.

Glad someone said it. :laugh:

Walking at a brisk pace for 10 miles, taking about 2.5 hours to do so, will burn about 8,00 to 1,000 calories. Not sure why this is being argued.

Of course, doing this every day would be boring as hell.

So that's 4mph. At my weight and size I'd burn about 560 (using the METs method and based on own observations). A male, 180cm, 100kg should indeed burn around 1000kcal. There's no way a slim and small woman like the TO would burn that much energy.

How about if I try to lose 7 pounds by May 17th? Would that be a realistic goal? That is 56 days away/

That is a very real goal and a safe one... I tell the people I train that 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week... That's if there is at least 15 plus pounds to lose... Is very doable.

On what basis did you conclude 1-1.5 pounds per week is advisable for someone with just 15 pounds to lose?

Also, on what basis do you believe OP has even 15 pounds to lose?

She said she wanted to lose 20 pounds... That's how I got that. And based on work with other who are new to working out... As she seems to be, a pound to 1 1/2 per week can be done and safely. Although a 1000 cal workout is not realistic a 300 to 400 cal may be and with eating well. That goal is in reach... At least for a few weeks... But as you know... Everyone is different and without meeting someone it's hard to say. So in other words... Why are you breaking my balls? Give the person some advise and move on.

Does anyone know any good exercises that burn 1,000 calories?

So notwitstanding the thread hijacking, it sounds as if you need to step back and look at your objectives in a bit more detail. You're already at a reasonable weight, so I'm not as convinced that losing weight will give you the answer that you're after.

As upthread, eating at a calorie deficit will give you weight loss. Given your goal weight then a fairly moderate rate is probably more appropriate. If your rate of loss is too aggressive then you don't really have the fuel to properly train.

CV work helps you to achieve the deficit whilst eating a reasonable volume. That allows you to more easily meet your macro intake, and from a personal perspective I find it easier to stick to my plan if I'm eating a reasonable volume of food. It's entirely possible to hit the calorie goals purely through intake, but it's not very satisfying. CV work also builds stamina and provides the aerobic base that your other phys builds on.

Resistance training helps you to retain lean mass and optimise stength. With an aggressive deficit you'll lose a disproportionate volume of lean mass regardless of resistance training.

Best general results come from a combination of all three of those. With the balance of CV and resistance being very much dependent on your personal objectives.

To answer the original question, I burned 1200 cals on Saturday in two hours of fairly fast road cycling, or about 90 minutes of running on a flat surface would do about the same. for trail running, probably about 60-70 minutes would give me the same outcome. Given that I'm heavier than you, and energy consumption is a function of overall mass and distance moved then you'll need to move a bit faster to consume the same volume of calories.

Why are you looking for exercises that burn 1000 calories?

Why are you questioning her instead of simply answering? That is, if you have an answer. If not, just go to the next post of interest. It isn't mandatory that you answer a post in a derogatory manner when you don't know how to play nice.

why are you questing what that poster is asking?

it is an open forum ...
