    Whatever gets the HR up there the highest for longest period of time.
    Usually biking or spin class because it's not hard on the joints and can maintain high HR for extended time.

    And can do something the next day.

    Running can get up there too, but much harder pounding, so can't do it as long, and if that intense, can't do it the next day.

    Walking at stupid high incline actually can too, and much better recovery time, but treadmill only for that.

    bodyrock - it is interval training that is high intensity for a short time. Check it out - it is always free! They have a brand new work out every day that you can follow and if you can't keep up, they provide modifications.

    High intensity = high calories. It's the only thing you have control over that will affect calorie burn. Unless you start carrying weights around with you I guess.

    Either swimming or running for me. Usually 3 miles (or 35 min) of running burns around 400 calories for me. It also depends on your size and how much you have to lose!

    I'm 5'9" and 198.5 lbs

    It depends on the intensity you work out at. I bought a HRM (heart rate monitor) and Zumba, circuit training & running are the most burn for me. However it all depends on how hard you are working out:)

    Working with kettlebells - but not with a 5 or 10 lb kettlebell. Heavier burns more. I don't use anything super heavy, between 35 and 50 lbs, and it's enough to burn a lot. Even a short workout (20 minutes or so) will burn anywhere from 200 to 400 calories depending on what i do.

    I burn a fair bit when biking but it takes time, but since it's fun to be outside riding, i don't notice the time going by. I'm going out now to burn 1000 calories & that'll take me somewhere near 1 1/2 to 2 hours of mountain biking.

    I go to a kettlebell bootcamp workout & we typically burn minimum 700 calories in about 50 minutes doing kettlebell work, burpees, sprinting, etc.

    It partly depends on your current weight. Heavier people burn more calories than lighter people, because they are working harder to do the same activity. I'm fairly thin so I would have to work out for a looooong time to burn 500 calories! It's frustrating, though, to see lots of people posting their crazy calorie burns and I'm excited if I've managed to burn 200 in one workout. :cry:
