What has been your highest calorie burn in one day from *Exercises???? and what exercises were you doing???

*I'm NOT talking about walking around the mall all day or your daily calories burned at work or something like that!!

I was just curious cause I know there are lots of runners, swimmers, and athletes out there! :D

I'd say the most I've had was around 700 to 800 calories burned from doing the Elliptical and P90X in one day! I am no athlete!

    Well... I didn't add it up, but Sunday I did:

    1.5 hours tennis
    1.5 hours Volleyball
    1.5-2 hours basketball
    6 mile run @ 7.5mph

    Oh, and 100 pushups after my run ;)

    Probably 6000- 8000 during a 52 mile, 10,000ft elevation gain, hike that had me cross the Grand Canyon twice in 19 hours!

    I'm going to guess over 5000 during any of the Half Ironman races I completed (5 hours of racing hard)

    1250 calories in 60 minutes on high intensity kickboxing class with gloves! I must have thrown well over 800 kicks during that time!

    If MFP had an export function or a robust way to query the data we've logged (nudge nudge, Mike), I could get an exact answer. My guesstimate answer is about 1200-1500 calories doing around 40 miles of cycling.

    Over 1000 before I injured myself (exercise injury). Now I am burning around 400-500 4-5 days a week.

    I did 3200 one day last week. I ran in the morning, I ran again in the afternoon, and then I rode my horse for two hours.

    I regularly burn1200-1400 on Tuesdays (not today, as I have TONIGHT OFF FROM DANCE REHEARSAL -- WOO HOO) ha ha, can you tell I'm excited about that?

    Also I regularly burn about 1500 on a 2.5 hour bike ride at 14-16 mph.

    The most I have burned so far in a day was about 2300 for a 4 hour bike ride at 14-16 mph.

    However, this Sunday, I am riding 80 miles, hopefully at 15-16 mph, so that will burn about 3200 calories.

    Then, on 9/24 I am riding a century (103-mile bike ride) with a 3500 ft. climb. It should take about 7 hours (I hope) and I anticipate burning over 4000 calories.

    blessings.

    I did 3023 thursday and am planning on beating that tomorrow. I usually do 1000 at least and do 2000+ normally daily.

    The marathon I did for my 21st birthday, which was probably about 4000 calories. When I was training for it, though, I'd have days where I'd run for cross-country in the afternoon, do marching band for two hours, take a martial arts class, then run another hour or two after that on my own. I was probably burning upwards of 2000 calories a day regularly, just in the afternoons.
