    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?

    To eat something delicious would be my reason.

    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?)

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I can burn pretty close to 1000 calories, depending on the Insanity work out..
    Don't forget there is the after burn that occurs after your work out...

    Be morbidly obese, completely out of shape, do HIIT and trust MFP's numbers. You'll be sure to hit 1,000 and if you don't then just log some housecleaning to go with it.

    I'm around 180lbs and I can burn around 800 calories in an hour running if I really push myself.

    Um What???? I am at 248 lbs. now and these are my NORMAL Average burns......... When I was 350. 450, 550, etc i was easily burning quite a bit more, I have people on my friends list that will contest to the fact when I was over 400 pounds I had burns of 1500+ in those same time frames.... There is no tall stretch to burn a 1000 calories at my current weight within 65 minutes period....

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

    That'd be my guess anyway.

    I typically burn greater than 700 cals an hour doing things like step class, T25 (doubled up), RIPPED... in other words high intensity aerobic activity. an hour of swimming won't get me more than 400 cals and thats if I'm busting *kitten* in the pool for an hour...

    I'm larg(ish) - not obese... marathon runner... workout 6-7 days/week... and I still burn nearly 1000 cals/hour so generalizations like this are not helpful
