I'm trying to get to the gym 5 days a week. I want to burn the most calories in the least time without being so miserable that I'm discouraged. So far I'm finding that I can burn about 100 cal. per 10 minutes on a treadmill (incline 12, 3.6mph). I'd love some other ideas.

    You can burn a ridiculous amount of calories on the elliptical. It's great cardio too. Besides just burning calories, its also good to fit in some weight training. Muscle burns up fat and helps you to get lean :)

    interval training is great as well! you burn more calories doing interval training rather than going at a steady pace.
    jump roping is great too!

    the most cals I have ever burnt per min is TAE BO!!!
    therse almost no rest time its just med and high cardio. But its great and the videos are like 40min-60min long (sometimes i do only 30min)

    But thers like 15 or so FULL VIDEOS on youtube FREE Thats what i do
    (and its how i dropped 45 pounds before)

    I gained some of it back when i stopped caring about what i ate tho, so I am back no it again now.

    The rowing machine can burn 100 calories in 5 minutes if you're doing it right. It's hard to do it for more than 5 though!
