    Marathon training is one way...anytime I run 6 or more miles I am close to or over 1,000 cals. Then there is two a day workouts, and my group training which is boot camp style, HR stays up for majority of the class. Mostly I see the 1000 cal burns when I run though in one workout. Typically to get that high from strength training or yoga its two a day workout day. So yes, it is possible to burn that much, you just have to keep that heart rate 130-180 to see it!

    65 minutes on the treadmill using intervals on speed and incline. Post what is on the machine. Of course like one said earlier... I am 293 lbs so that makes a difference on the burn.

    Hi there,
    I work hard, at high intensity & a combination of cardio & weights, but I still don't hit 1000 calories!!! It's hard seeing others who have burnt off heaps of calories in the same time frame as me & I only have half the amount. I find that 2 hours of high intensity gym classes have me at between 800-1000 calories burned, however I barely do classes as I haven't got a gym membership with classes at the moment! :noway: So I do anywhere between 60-90 mins of exercise and usually burn about 200-300 on cardio machines for approx 30-45 mins and approx 200 cals doing 30 mins of weights/strength training. So I usually burn about 400cals on a normal day.
    I am switching gyms VERY soon to have access to high intensity classes again!!!!!

    When I burn 1000 calories or more, I am typically doing vigorous exercise in zones 3 and 4 mostly, for about 90 minutes. The max I can burn in an hour is about 800 calories. This is while doing running, the Arc Trainer machine, or other high-intensity cardio. An hour of weight-training will usually only get me about 450 calories (that's with a 10-min cardio warm up).

    I burn that much (sometimes more), when I go on hikes. But that's only when it's like several hours of hiking, or an all day trip. My numbers come from my HRM, and I pause it when we're resting or stopped.

    It also depends on how much muscle mass you have. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn.

    dancing about like a drunk, stoned monkey or Zumba for short
    jogging, walking with stairs and hills. I was bored for New Years eve @ work. I work graveyard hours and I had to be there even though there was nothing to do so I went outside w/my Polar HRM to see how long it would take me to burn 2012 calories. 1 hr and 31 mins. :smokin:

    Cycling for over an hour usually does it. I use the Garmin website to track my workouts and I trust the calories on their over the MFP ones - they seem much higher here (certainly for cycling). More so if I do HIIT sessions.

    I quite like long hikes/walks as well - last one I did was 4 hours long and burned 1,500+ calories (Garmin)

    I haven't burned over a 1000 calories since I was much bigger. I would have to workout for a couple hours to see that kind of burn now.

    On the weekend I like to do a 3 mile run, then a beach body workout (usually Insanity or TurboFire), then hop on my elliptical while I watch cartoons.

    Feels great, I usually burn 800-1000 cals before 10AM :bigsmile:

    I think the only time I logged a burn that high was when I spent the entire day painting a room and rearranging furniture myself.

    I have not been able to work out for the past month due to a minor operation I had to have (but hopefully I get cleared to go back to the gym next week!), but my workouts usually burn 1000+. I box, and let me tell you, that workout is a killer!
