    The insanity cardio workouts are only around 400 minutes long and blast RIDICULOUS amounts of calories. You don't have to do insanity the full program, you can just work some of the cardio routines into your workout.
    I agree:)

    I vary my workouts...Step, kick boxing, circuits and weight lifting... when I lift weights I work in the TRX and kettle bells and they absolutely blast my heart rate up and hold it there!!!!!! Don't forget this kind if weight training as that is what enables you to burn calories in a rested state!!!!

    Intervals of fast rope jumping and burpees. 45 secs of rope, 15 secs rest, 45 secs burpees, 15 secs rest, 45 rope, 15 rest, 45 burpees, 15 rest.....I do that for a total of 20 mins. Murderous calorie burn that keeps my metabolism going for hours.

    Running. But, I think 90% of this is diet.

    Yeah I've heard that it's 80% diet and 20% workout. That was quite shocking to me when I learned about it but I am a witness that it's true. I lost most of my weight while on crutches after a knee surgery. Changing my food intake was definitely the key to jumpstart it all!!

    What did you change about your food? How much did you lose and how long did it take? I'm just curious. I'm getting in a routine for working out but I'm having trouble with the food. Thanks

    I've been slacking lately but at one point I completely cut out fried foods and sugary drinks. Now, I eat smaller portions, I pack my lunch with lots of snacks to munch on throughout the day, and I've tried to do more meatless meals (or fish instead of the heavier meats).

    Martial Arts sparring. 3 rounds just about wipes me out! The days where we have done 5 rounds, I have walked out 10 lbs lighter!

    My weight is now close to what it should be so no more big changes like this but a 5x 3 min sparring class is still the hardest workout I do.

    The only time this is not true is if we have the luxury of being able to workout all day. Then the scales would be tipped. But, for most of us it is all mostly diet. For the time we have to exercise the exercise we do really has to count adn be as efficient as possible. Cardio and compound movements. Its not the only way but it is what has worked for me.

    heavy lifting in a circuit. I can be in and out of the gym in 30 minutes and be completely wiped out and walking on jelly legs.

    I think she meant 40! I agree insanity burns an insane amount of calories.
    Elliptical trainers at efficient too! You can easily burn a couple hundred calories in a short amount of time. I don't think it's really bad on knees either.
