    1 hour of running is like 700+ calories for me according to my Polar hrm. Not that I run that long usually anyway.

    Insanity burns around 1000 calories/session but it's super hard and for me is hard to do it every day so I don't follow the program, I just do it occasionally.

    I'm 43 yrs and 5"3 max heartrate 183. In a spin interval class 55 mins with lots of sweat dripping down the cheek, I can burn around 500-550.

    Add on extra burn. I often add 20-30 mins of low intensity so I get a good winding down and getting rid of all lactate acid which gives me ca 200-250 kcal for "free". Feels very easy after working like a dog first hour.

    Total burn about 700-800 kcal within 80-90 mins:)

    I notice that the taller or heavier men can burn above 1000 kcal in 55 mins, but they have to work for it.
