    If I run at an 8 minute mile pace for 60 minutes I can get around 1k kcals. I have slowed down on that though because at this rate I am burning muscle at a faster rate then fat which for my goals is kind of pointless.

    I am sure it is possible to do that at certain weights and intensity levels in an hour, but I believe that MFP grossly overshoots on its calorie burn calculations for those who are not using a heart rate monitor.

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

    Not sure it's possible to burn that in an hour
    Possible. High intensity k-boxing and plyometrics with resistance can do it IF intensity is sustained throughout the 60 minutes.

    My 160 lb hubby can do it racing mountain bikes. But he is going all out with his HR in the 190s the whole time. He is an avid bike racer with awesome cardio and lots of muscle mass and is a GUY. The average size girl would be hard pressed to find any activity she could sustain for an hour to burn that many calories.
    Calorie computers lie most of the time.

    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.

    1. 100 kg body wt.

    2. Run 6.0 mph for 60 min continuously

    3. Burn 1000+ calories

    4. ?????

    5. Profit

    I'm doubtful of those cal burns. Not saying they are untrue but 20 min on anything I am doubtful of a burn over 400 cals.

    run consistantly for an hour at at least 6 mph. it can be done!!!!
    6 mph would be 6 miles in an hour = roughly 600 cals burned

    My height and weight + and hour of Zumba is almost 1,000 calories! Love it!
    I'm really doubtful of this, Zumba is not super high intensity.

    This thread is getting nowhere fast.

    To the OP, try to be a little less focused on what is going to burn the most calories, and instead find something you enjoy!

    The majority of people are going to have a much happier time (and greater adherence) if they burn 700 cals doing something they like than killing themselves doing something to squeeze out an extra few cals per workout.

    Just eat one less poptart (or 300 cals of your choice) to make up for burning a little less. and you are golden! :bigsmile:

    My heart rate monitor usually has me at 1100-1400 calories per hour of Zumba.

    That must be some super high intensity Zumba

    I think up and down planks switching every 5 seconds for one hour should put you over 1,000. good luck lasting that long.

    Doing all of the above while wearing a weighted vest would up the cals a bit maybe?
    (If you don't injure yourself in the process.)

    >>>>Outdoor cyclist. I love it. I burn a wicked amount of calories mainly because (1) I bike like a bat out of hell...as a previous poster said (2) I have massive headwind 99% of the time, (3) hills, (4) bike is friggin heavy...think full metal bucket.

    I wear a HRM/chest strap.

    But I also keep my upper body fit with Tabata-type classes and also strength training.

    Seriously if you are looking to burn an insane amount of calories, look for the top 3 (running, swimming, cycling) and stick to something you love doing and do it often! :wink:


    (edited to add: Yes, that is a very recent 3,919 cal burn biking 51 city miles and yes it took me an embarrassing long time to get it all in at 4.5 hrs)

    Supposedly kettlebells can burn up to 1200 calories per hour, but I think that's the maximum possible, not the typical amount.
