You are brave. I didn't even have it in me to ask...0 -
That's a hard workout, isn't it? I mean, weren't you sweating like crazy and breathing? I commend you for walking that fast for that long. Was it in intervals? Yes, I'd take the burn. And your metabolism will be stoked for a long time, like 12 hours. If you do another walk (it doesn't have to be at that intensity, though...just moderate) later today, you will have a 24hour burn going! Good job!
How do you have your activity level set in goals? sedentary, active....?0 -

Are you using the reading from the machine???0

10-15% incline, 4 mph for 70 minutes. How did you manage that and not die? That's a pretty intense workout.

I couldn't do it without holding on, which, unfortunately pretty much defeats the purpose of jacking up the incline.0 -

I was going to ask if she was holding on. At my old gym there were these two women who did pretty much that exact thing -- 15 incline at 4 mph for that long. They were both holding on the whole time.
Estimates I've read for how much that subtacts from the burn vary, but it's definitely not the same as if you weren't holding on.
In fact, I've only ever seen one person at that steep an incline (who wasn't doing just intervals) not holding on.
Not dissing holding on, if that's your thing, that's fine. Just don't think you're burning at the same rate you think you are. It's less intense a workout.

Yeah. I'm 5'5" so 3.5 mph is a good speed for me, but even one hour at 9% incline (not holding to anything) leaves me totally exhausted. Still want to do 10% eventually, lol, but man.
ETA: assuming OP was answering that thread about whether it's possible to burn 1000 calories in less than 2 hours or something.0 -
What exactly are you disagreeing with?? This seems like a response to an argument that no one is making.0

Okay?0

Thank you, this may or may not be correct but it is nice to have some semblance of logic going on here!

I have nothing to compare it to, but it doesn't seem too farfetched. The truth is in the pudding. The bathroom scale will move one way or the other.0

Yes OP. Sounds very accurate I think. If it's not perfect it's probably very close.0

Just No what??

I'd love to know what your heart rate was... like 300 BPM ;-). In all seriousness, you might want to monitor it!

is that what your HRM said .. and it was not on interval training .. if so it's probably a fairly accurate reading
I can walk at 3.7mph at a 10% incline, but my shins will burn at around 10 minutes ...
instead I choose to do HIIT from 3.5m/ph to jogging for 90 seconds at 5.5m/ph for 10 mins at a 1% gradient - great cardio workout - I only log about 100 calories for it though - adjusting my HRM0 -
If you're not holding on, you may actually be burning more than 1000 calories in 70 minutes at that speed and incline if you're 250 pounds, but damn that would be one hell of an intense workout. I only go a maximum of 2.7 mph at 15% and I'm spent after a while.0

Well, this is confusing first thing in the morning.
I also disagree. I have no idea what I'm disagreeing with, but.....No. Go home, you're wrong.
But, I would quite like to know whether that calorie burn (875) was taken from the machine, MFP or an HRM. And whilst I can see the point of the argument in relation to the thread about the 1000 calorie burn which I assume this is in relation to, I have a hard time believing that a 250lb person could do the whole 10%-15% incline at 3.9-4.3mph for 70 mins (not holding on). So whilst in theory it may be possible, I'm not sure if it would be possible in reality-but hey, I may yet be surprised!0 -

Could it be that she meant 3.9 km/h? If that's the case then it's possible, and you do burn about 800 something calories doing that at 250 pounds. Maybe her treadmill is in kilometers instead of miles but she hasn't noticed?0 -
