How long/hard are you working out to burn 1,000+ calories?

    1000 calories is pretty commonplace for me during 50+ minutes of P90X plyometrics. I've burned close to 1200.

    I'm 6'1" and about 238 lbs. I started at 288.

    If you want to get the generator going, plyo is the "mother."

    another way to burn 1000 per day is break it up into 10 workouts that equal 100 calories each. Some days I just don't have time for 1 giant workout but I set my heart rate monitor for a 100 calories and start do the steps, march or run in place, do sit-ups and push -ups, jump on the eliptical, get out the hula hoop....the possibilities are endless.

    I'm doing boot camp right now, and my physical trainer said that I would burn at least 600 calories from that. It's not 1000, but it's a great workout!

    I do P90X plyo and have never burned 100 cals, maybe 600. Actually, I burn more cals doing hills on my bike (700+ per hour).

    The only time I burn 1,000+ cals is a long run or bike ride. I have a Polar F6 HRM.

    I guess that's one drawback to being in good shape and at my goal weight, I burn less cals but that's ok with me! :bigsmile:
