Do you think it can be true?

    Honestly, I think thier claims are a little reaching, but they may be factoring in the fact that it is like a weight training session in that you continue to burn calories after the workout is done.

    Maybe if you're 300lbs?

    There is no way you could burn 400 calories in 4 minutes. I do HIIT workouts and in 15 minutes I burn around 200 calories, it is true though that you're metabolism keeps burning calories at a higher rate over the next 24-36 hours after a HIIT workout. The afterburn is probably what they are referring to.

    That's a great workout and that set should be repeated a few times. But no. That 4 minute workout will NOT burn 400 calories.

    Sure - if you repeat this workout at least 10 times maybe... you cannot burn 400 calories in 4 minutes though.

    maybe is you were a 450lb man. I would guess between 14 and 22 cals/minute depending on intensity and your stats. So that would be 56 to 88 cals in 4 minutes.

    only if you were 600lbs. if i did it, i bet it would be MAX 40 cals.

    Dont think so but one way to find out is do it and wear and HRM to see.

    I'm going to say no way. Insanity has a lot of jumping jacks, mountain climbers, etc and it took me 40 minutes to burn 500 calories.

    Put it to the test. Put your HRM on and do it and see what happens.
