So I found this workout on Pinterest claiming to burn 1000 calories. I'm fairly new to working out (I did it yesterday and it kicked my but) so I'm just curious to know if this REALLY burns 1000 calories. I know sometimes you can't believe everything on the net !

    Use a fitbit while doing this and see how much it says you burned.

    So maybe this is the difference between science calories and food calories. 1 food calorie = 1,000 science calories. That's why sometimes you see people say kCal, that's short for kilo-calorie.

    Humans don't burn 1,000 kCal in 10 minutes. This is "hey you want to buy a bridge?" territory.

    It would depend on an individual, and how vigorously you did this.

    I burn 1000 calories in about 90 minutes of zumba that just about leaves me falling over, and I am 200lbs

    Nobody is burning 1,000 calories in 10 minutes...

    I would burn somewhere in that neighborhood in about 90 minutes on my bike going about 25 miles or so.

    Maybe if you weight 1000 lbs...

    10 minutes of intense exercise may burn 100 calories if you are extremely heavy. 1000 is a ridiculous claim.

    i'm going to say typo.... 100 maybe, not 1000.

    i had to run a half marathon to get that sort of burn!!!

    I wouldn't think so.

    I have to cycle 50 km to burn 1000 calories (100 cal/5 km) ... or walk for 5 hours (200 cal/hour).

    Depends on numerous amount of factors! But I can be the test dummy and do it with my polar and tell you how many calories i burned with it.

    HRMs are really only *somewhat* accurate with steady state cardio (such as jogging and cycling). That's way too much jumping around to get an accurate reading in my experience.

    Has anybody been to the website listed at the bottom of the flyer? It's enough to induce an epileptic seizure.
