    Probably about an hour while walking, maybe slightly more.

    Half an hour while cycling.

    I'm 5'4, weigh 145. I run and cycle and do intervals.

    Running I do 4 minutes at 6.8-7.2 for 4 minutes then a minute of rest. 15 minutes I burn 200 calories (per my polar HRM, set to my settings). During the run my heart rate is 170-180, it drops around 30 beats during the rest.

    Cycling is a class, my heart rate stays around the 165 area, getting up to 180 and dipping down to 150. I burn about 600 calories in 55 minutes.

    I used to take a spinning class ... I put a lot of effort into it, but the most I burned was just under 400 calories in 50 min.
