How do you burn 1,000 Cals in 1hr of Exercise

soldiergrl_101

I know its possible, does anyone out there burn 1,000 calories in an hour if so How? I usually burned this by swimming vigourously for an hour but now that I got swimmers shoulder I need to find an alternative.

Not sure it's possible to burn that in an hour

d3ck5

the first time i did the pure cardio + cardio abs workout of insanity i burnt 784 in about 56 mins.

there was also a couple of minutes break between dvds and the ab component (about 15 mins) was not high intensity at all

there are hour long workouts to insanity which ive not yet started (another week or so) and I'm quite certain I would burn 1000 cals in that hour.

i reckon theyd be some insanity graduates that would say the same thing.

Isn't Nordic Skiing over uneven terrain supposed to have a burn approaching that? Depends on your age, gender, weight, etc. though.....

Achrya

By being large, out of shape, and working very hard.

That'd be my guess anyway.

Running up and down stairs 1000 cals I always do it when im getting ready for comp

I find it very hard to crack 10 cal/minute. When I do crack that limit, I can't hold it for an hour. Intervals might be your best bet for "Bang for your buck" but again, if you can do them for an hour, you aren't doing them right.

Being 300+ pounds might help.

According to your ticker, you have only 13 lbs left to lose. Thus, you should be looking at establishing a deficit in the neighborhood of 300 or so calories below maintenance intake. With that said, why do you need to burn 1000 calories?

darkon

I belive you can do that by running.

If you can run at a proper speed for one hour.

At 5'9" 280lbs I burn around 530 Cals in 30 minutes with a hilly program on my elliptical. Doubling that to 60 mintues would put me over 1000 cal.
I don't have a HRM yet to confirm this but the online calories burned calculator's also show that me at 280lbs on an elliptical burns well over 1000 cal.

Do a bungee jump off a high bridge. You will lose 1000 cals just looking over the edge and thinking about it :-) Hodgie x

dont need to be 300lbs, i'm only 180 and i can burn 1000 if i make a concerted effort but my Cal/Burn has dropped from around 30 per minute when i was 244lbs to now i average 10 cals a minute doing anything other then Cycling which is still upwards of 20, to get 1000 per hr you'd have to be doing cardio and intensly riding a bike on a challenging track full of hills would put you over or maybe running/orbital on a high resistance..

If you really want to create a deficit of 1000 just don't eat as much and in my case for a while i was going half deficit from exercise the other half from diet still creating the big deficit but not creating too much from exercise alone. You don't really lose weight from exercise anyway if anything Exercise will put on weight with retained water and recomposition of muscle/fat structure, exercise just improves the cardiovascular and muscle structure which in turn improves your bodies ability to manage caloric intake and consumption. Diet creates a deficit in that consumption.

Whatever works for you is you need to do, not what works for me or anyone else here.

I regularly burn between 700 to 1200 cal per session, but they go longer than one hour.
My cardio workout includes stat bike (rpm), elliptical trainer, stat rowing, and running. Usually a combination. I'm about to also include swimming.
Kind regards,
Ben

I have way more than 13lbs left to loose roughly around 40lbs, the ticker is set for my small goals. I am just curious because when I ride the bike and the elyptical I burn maybe 400 but I dont feel like that is doing anything for me so I am trying to make it harder. Normally I would swim but cant due to a recent injury and I suck at running so I am adding on a few minutes more to that every day

Thomasm198

Run and run a lot.

I average around 1,000 per hour. And before any self proclaimed expert tries telling me I dont; I hade VO2 max testing done a few months ago. The results of the VO2 max testing confirmed that when my heartrate is working in it's optimum zone I'm burning between 900 and 1,100 calories per hour.

I scored "excellent" on VO2 for my age. If I had 0.1mL/(kg·min) more I would have scored a rating of superior.

Sadly at my weight I'm not entirely sure how I could genuinely burn 1,000 calories in a hour.

However I did read into this many years ago and as back then I was a very keen Alpine climber and It was estimated that the burn was around 850cals a hour (and I would eat crap and still lose over half a stone in a week of this kind of climbing) so I was inclined to believe that...It's a bit extreme to go climbing mountains to lose weight (but fun mind...)

I noticed you mentioned cycling - This does not burn as many calories a hour as running does unless your outside and cycling like a bat out of hell!

If that's you in the picture then you look pretty light, which means sadly naturally you'll burn less energy and have to work harder than someone who was say 30lbs more...

If the 1,000 calorie burn is what your after for me at 5'7 and around 134lbs I would have to run 10+ miles or run 6miles + row + cross train/or have a good length circuit training sesh..So it varies from person to person and you should build a plan to suit you and what your body is able to burn without you burning out..

I used to get regular 1000 calorie burns when I was over 300lbs - now I am close to 200lbs I push for 600 cals for the hour. I still work as hard, it is just getting harder as I lose weight - but I used to do just cardio and now I do a huge range or activities including running, kettlebells, free weights, hillwalking and just plain walking - I like setting targets but only really use my calorie burn as an indication of effort and performance and tend not to eat them back - (unless I go on a big hike with lots of hills and 15 mile walk in between - in which case I eat whatever I want haha)

I could possibly get higher burns doing pure cardio hiit or tabata but I like the variety much better than just going for a massive 1,000 calorie burn now.

melaniecheeks

I would find it impossible for me. Flat out, I can maybe burn 600 cals an hour.

Why do you think you need to be burning such high amounts?

happystars82

Im 240lb and 5ft 3" and i can do that in the gym, normally 15mins fast on epli and then interval running on treadmill 20 mins, some weights and then finish off with a power cycle...

but like everyone has said, being heavier helps but it can be done any size!

thanks

What do you use to work out your calories burnt?

To eat something delicious would be my reason.

melaniecheeks

You can certainly burn 1000 calories, but whether you can do it in an hour is the question (and the subsequent question, why do you need to burn so much in this magical 60 minute window?)

Graceious1

I burn very near that with my martial arts training. I ain't that light either.

workout_ninja

I do the insanity workouts and I burn maybe 700 calories in the hour, definitely no more than that. I burned nearly 1000 when I was about 200lbs but now that I am 174, its not as many.

I can burn 1000 calories in 90 minutes of running but defo not 60.

albertine58

That's 16.67 calories per minute. It's possible for a very overweight person, but that's maximum effort for most people, and it would be extremely, extremely hard to sustain that level of exertion for an hour. Bottom line- 95% of people who think they've burned 1,000 calories in an hour are insanely overestimating. I laugh whenever someone thinks 45 min of spinning or an hour of Zumba burned 800 calories (happens everyyy day)- slice that in half and you're still probably overestimating. Most high-effort exercises like running, swimming etc. burn 7-10 calories a minute, which is 420-600 calories per hour. But really, who knows! We have pretty much no way to accurately gauge how many calories we're burning with exercise on a daily basis (no I don't think HRMs are very accurate). But if slapping the "1,000" number on an exercise motivates you to go harder or work out more often, then it's helping you succeed. Just don't eat back all those 1,000 calories or you'll be one of those "doing everything right but not losing" threads.

Hill running whilst carrying a friend on your back?

TattedInStilettos

You can burn that much doing tae bo or either turbo jam... if you like boxing these are the perfect work out...

I burn anywhere from 1000-1200 calories during my cardio sessions... (That could be Treadmill, Elliptical, AMT, Arc Trainer, Swimming laps, etc) Takes me roughly 60-80 minutes but when I hit the 60 minute mark I am normally in the mid 900 calorie burned range... I eat back my exercise calories and have managed to lose over 300 pounds so I am going to have to kindly disagree..... :drinker:

I've done on machine readings when I've averaged over 4mph. I weight quite a bit though.

Your ticker shows quite a lot of weight loss. It is possible when you were very large to burn that amount - but for people of normal weight or slightly overweight, it is a tall stretch at most.
