    Do the same workouts for a little longer, or at a higher intensity. Running is one of the best calorie burners.

    This. :)

    I agree with the Zumba folks....I burn 550-600 in an hour and that includes warm up and cool down/stretching. It's loads of fun too!

    I went jogging last night. 3.1 miles (5k) and my heart rate monitor said I burned 440 calories. I guess if I jogged maybe another half a mile I would have hit 500 calories.

    I usually burn about 100 calories for every ten minutes of high-intensity cardio exercise (pretty much anything after my warm-up on the cardio machines, or just running outside) so for me, 50 minutes at high intensity will be a 500 calorie burning workout.

    Group fitness classes are the bomb! I burn well over 500 calories when I go all out in a step class. Really your burn is going to depend on your intensity, but I find it easier to up my intensity in a group fit environment.

    OP, are you using a heart rate monitor, if you are going by the machines you may actually be burning more or less .. your best gauge is to have a HR monitor with your personal information and have it on continuous read to get an accurate reading of what you are burning; if you are already doing that, then believe it or not the Firm dvd's especially some of the old ones and some of the newer ones helps burn tons of calories (at least for me) because they use compound exercises throughout their 45-60 min workouts, or Jillian Michaels workout s. I also do kickboxing and run (using a HR monitor) and can burn anywhere from 600 to 1125 calories depending on the length and intensity of my workout.

    SWIMMING!!! Doing laps for 30 minutes burns over 500 calories for me... but I also weigh a lot!

    Zumba & Spinning are my votes along with everyone else, those are my highest burning events that I do.
