    What burns the most calories?

    Running a marathon...

    No, wait, an ultra marathon would be better...

    Yeah an ultra or long triathlon will cook off a good 5000 - 6000. :smile: In practical terms I'd recommend cycling as a nice low-impact exercise for someone easing into this stuff. I'd still just rather head things off at the proverbial pass and not eat those calories.

    The Compendium of Physical Activities indicates
    11250 17.0 11250 17.0 occupation forestry, ax chopping, fast

    That 17.0 is a MET value.
    There was a MET value of 16.5 for cross country skiing.

    You can peruse the list http://prevention.sph.sc.edu/tools/docs/documents_compendium.pdf to see if there's something you can actually do.

    Competitive Nordic skier are the fittest people on Earth. Objectively speaking.
