    Elliptical machine - 500 cals in 45 mins. if you use random setting. The higher the resistance, the quicker you will burn cals.

    I burn about 700 cals per my HRM doing 60 minutes at the gym. I do the treadmill, bike and elliptical machine.

    I burn about 550 calories in a 60 minute elliptical session with probably a 7 on the exertion scale.

    Im doing this challenge and need to lose 500-1000. what exericeses do i do to get this kind of burn, without spending the whole day at the gym?

    40-50 minutes of low impact aerobics works for me. I do Leslie Sansone's walk away the pounds.

    A non stop moderate pace for about an hour of just about anything will get rid of 500-700 calories. I like to do elliptical, dancing, body weight cross training, etc.

    You jump rope, of course. Nothing burns calories like jumping rope.

    It wouldnt take all day to burn that many calories depending on how hard you worked out. I can do an hour of just walking quite briskly and burn just under 500.

    By doing a 15 min HIIT workout followed by 15 of heavy lifting, you could probably do it in 30 min.

    Try running stairs if you access to a tall building. It's way up there on calories burned/hour.

    It takes a HARD workout for me to get over 500 cals burned. I usually get 300-400 burned with an hour of Zumba , hour of spinning, or 30 minutes running. I don't have a HRM though, so maybe I'm underestimating?

    It depends on your body though. Height and weight.

    Step Aerobics using 6-8 " step or just running up and downs steps for an hour. Burns at least 500 calories or more but depends on your weight. You can use calorielab to figure the calories burned ( http://calorielab.com/burned/ ). Put the word "step" in Step 2 after you put your weight in Step 1.

    On average, people burn 100 calories every 10 minutes. The bigger you are, the higher your heart rate during exercise, and the more calories you burn within that 10 minute time frame. But a good and fair average is 100 calorie burn every 10 minutes of high impact exercise. I burn 500 calories in about 45 minutes doing 20-30 minutes of cardio then the rest weightlifting. I burn around 300 calories when I take my 30 minute tennis lessons. So, just do something high impact: running, speed walking on incline, racquetball, weightlifting, spin, etc.
