I'm always seeing people that I am friends with burning 400-500 calories doing some type of exercise. How are you achieving such high calorie burns? What is your favorite calorie burning workout?

    Running or Insanity. I strongly recommend you get at Heart Rate Montior. That's how you know exactly how many calories you are burning which is always more or less than what MFP says you are burning.

    Kickboxing. Depending on my intensity, it's between 600-1000 in an hour.

    400-500 calories would be 4-5 miles of running for me.

    Hiking. Going up/down a mountain with a backpack on burns LOTS of calories. Last weekend we did 3.2 miles in about an hour and forty minutes. 900+ calorie burn for me.

    Running for sure, no equipment required and you can do it just about anywhere.

    Rollerskating burns a ton and it's not boring like running (at least for me) so I can easily go to open skate for 2 hours and burn 500 calories.

    The one that you do at the highest intensity will burn the most cals. So it'll likely be different for everyone.

    Personally, it's mountain biking. If I'm going hard I can top 1000 cals in an hour.
