This is a form of HIIT training or can even be applied to Tabata training. And this IS a very tough workout. This is this isn't a workout that can be done daily, so if anyone is going to try to take it on, it would probably be best done as a 3 time workout in a week (max) so the body can recover.
But it looks really good and challenging.

Thanks!! I agree it looks challenging. Any suggestions to replace free weight (dead lifts) exercises? For those of us with only dumbells, I mean?

Okay, I can not pull it up, rats. But it sounds challenging Anna. Are you going to give it a try?

It certainly looks tough. I am not sure I would even then burn 1000 cals in an hour, though!

The problem as far as I can see it is, who has access to a running track with weights equipment right next to it to switch quickly from one to the other? Perhaps you could do it all in the gym if there was no one else in there clogging up the machines. Not that I even have access to a gym!

But yeah, I agree with the theory.

The bigger someone is, the more calories they burn doing the same activity. That's just simple physics. At 5'2" and 125 pounds I doubt I could burn 1000 calories an hour doing anything, including this workout.

Here's my secret to burning 1,000 per hour (just from running). You need to be fairly heavy and pretty fast.

At 175 lbs, I burn ~ 125 per mile. So eeking out 8 miles in a hour will get me there. It's a good workout too (something right in between a tempo and steady state run for me).

Ditto. I burned 434 cals running 7 miles at 7mph this morning.

Just over 60 calories per mile - you must weigh 90 lbs. or something! I burn literally twice as much per mile as you!

I weigh 120 ish. I guess I must be quite fit!

LOL, to burn 1000+ calories fast is easy, all you have to do if you're on a TM is set it max Incline normally (15.0) set the speed around 3.0-4.0 MPH. I do this everyday and burn 1160 cals per hr if i go at 3.0, if i set it to 3.8 i can burn an easy 1400-1500 within the same hr.

It may be tough, but you aren't going to burn 1000 calories doing that work out.

Like most proslytizers, he is overstating the "afterburn effects". 200-300 calories over 72 hours? That's 3 days. Impossible to attribute changes in calorie burn to one variable over than length of time-not to mention the fact that we are only talking about 3-4 calories AN HOUR.

I don't understand why people need to do this. It's a good, tough whole-body workout. Why puff it up with a bunch of BS?

At my weight, 115 lbs, I'd have to run almost 12mph or a 5 min/mile pace for an hour to burn 1000 calories. With that pace I would have blown away the women's field at the recent marathon Olympic trials and beat most of the men. Last I checked I wasn't an Olympic level elite. So, yeah, there's no workout that I can actually perform that would have me burn 1000 calories an hour.

If I weighed 200 lbs and could run 10 min miles (my normal easy running pace), now we're talking.

I burnt 6600 calories last Saturday! Went for a 200 km cycle ride Brevet!

Usually I burn 500 odd calories in 40 minutes of cycling....that means it would take me 80min to burn 1000 calories...I am 163 pound Male of 5'11".

Carry some weights on your run!

I'm going to try it out, thanks for sharing! I have tried HIIT circuits before and they are far more difficult than you first think, hopefully I can work my way into doing this one properly.

According to the ACSM energy prediction equations, at your weight and that speed, the calorie burn is about 640 for the workout. I don't know how you got your numbers---if you are using an HRM, I'll bet it does not have your actual VO2 max calculated correctly. You are probably at 45-50 ml/kg/min and I'm sure it thinks you are lower. Don't know if there is any way you can update your settings, but I do think you are underestimating your calories a bit.

I average over 1000 in about 45 mins. Got the heavy part covered. Still working on the fast part. lol. hills and stairs defintely speed up the process to 1000+ calories burned.

Just what I was thinking.
It's so unfair when my husband and I do the same workout and he burns almost twice as many calories as I do!! :laugh:

This is a bit of a gimmick that most people couldn't possibly achieve. I burn a minimum of 1000 calories a day through exercise (mostly cardio) why should I need to do that in an hour and wreck myself...

mikeyrp

I've registered 550 Calories doing 30 mins of elliptical trainer (high resistance and high speed) although I was a bit heavier back then - so yes, 1000 cals an hour is quite reasonable. also, I burn about 1650 calories doing a 100 minute half marathon = 990 cals per hour. Cycling is about 750 cals per hour but I can cycle for a lot longer than I can run.

In summary - what's the big deal?

porffor

am also interested in the deadlift replaced with dumbbells question.

Shelby04131993

Seriously! lol My husband and I could do the same thing and he burns almost 2x more! Kills me lol

mikeyrp

In fairness - I commented before reading the article. Not sure I agree with teh comments about cycling / running being dull... but if this looks like fun to you, try it.

To complete this workout you will need to be in excellent shape. I used to do very similar and some harder workouts before I had a heart issue. I could not even come close to completing this workout, right now!

50 burpees as fast as I could do them alone would wipe me out, if done properly, you can half *kitten* anything, but i dont see the point. the weight lifting part is a piece of cake,. just try doing 50 complete good form burpees as fast as you can and see if you can complete them. Im going to try a modifeid version of this next week, just to see how i do. No way i could complete it as it is without having a heart attack. Glad I saw this post, Im kind of curious as to how il do with it - modifying it first, and then as I get better trying to work my way up to completing it. Its a killer workout and it will burn the fat right off of you!!

Do 50 burpees as fast as possible.

Now do three sets of each of the following, resting for 45 seconds between each super-set (numbered).

1) 12 deadlifts followed by 12 dumbbell chest presses.
2) 12 squats followed by 12 chin-ups (or as many as you can do).
3) 15 Swiss ball leg curls followed by 12 standing dumbbell shoulder presses.
Now take the 'ladder' approach to each of the following exercises - do seven of each, then six, then five and so on with no rest in between.

1) Clean and press, squat jump and press-up.
Now do 50 bench jumps, using a bench or any other platform that is close to 22 inches high to jump onto, then off.
Treadmill or outdoor sprints. Do all-out sprints for 30 seconds, followed by one-minute jog, repeating 10 times.
