    Mine are hiking with a pretty good elevation gain and the step class at my gym kicks my calorie butt haha And I like the class way more than I thought I would ever like a step class

    HIIT. High intensity interval training works wonders. I do mine on the treadmill. Also look up tabata intervals or tabata protocol. This will give you some insight. You experience a residual burn for hours after your cardio work out and his is how it essentially burns more cals in less time than straight cardio. It works wonders for me

    To burn the most calories possible; you would need to do some form of High Intensity exercise for long periods of time. However in reality this is not practical or sustainable so focus on a sensible calorie deficit and increase your TDEE with low intensity activities like walking.

    The London Ditchling Devil is my highest calorie burner - a 205km cycle ride.
    It's fun and the countryside (and food along the way) is great.

    Oh my word, that looks awesome!! I aspire to ride Ditchling - I'm hoping once my marathon is over and I can ease back on the running to take advantage of the general fitness gains and maybe train for a beginner sportive.

    In answer to the OP, I agree with everyone who says whatever works for you. I burn around 600-900 kcal a day commuting to work (either cycling or running) It is the max calorie burn with the minimum inconvenience - I'm going to work anyway, might as well get some benefit from the journey! Edited to add, it would take me around the same time getting the bus as running, and cycling is half the time of any other travelling option, so I win all ways.
