Last week I joined a turbo kick class-that kicked my wimpy butt! MFP claims it was worth over 700 cal-which was awesome! (if it's correct?)
Just curious what some of your biggest calorie burner workouts are? I'm always up for new ideas and motivation

Great topic!! I have been wondering how to get more bang from my buck also.
I do BodyCombat at the gym and supposidly it burns 600 + per hour.0 -
bump need some ideas myself0

zumba burns tons of calories for me and it's fun!0

Don't believe any of the predetermined calorie burns on MFP! Wear a heart rate monitor or its nothing more than a guessing game.0

unfortunately now that i'm fitter it's harder for me to get the HUGE numbers i used to get.
i used to burn mega calories during cardio kickboxing (like 800+) but last time i went i barely registered 500.
at the moment stair running and HIIT sprints are the biggest calorie burners.0 -
My biggest calorie burners are my extra long bike rides. Sometimes I get going fast and don't realize how hard I am working because the wind is in my face and its exhilarating. Of course, other times I am struggling with my crappy gears and pedals. My bike might not win any races but it gives me a good workout!0

Zumba is really good about burning alot of calories! When I do about an hour of it, it's atleast 500+ calories!0

Oh please don't ruin the illusion for me... ;o)0 -
I walk alot and for hours....i also did kickboxing and zumba dance which for me are fun and MAJOR calorie burners0

The best way I've found to calculate my burn is to do it myself. I recently bought a Heart Rate Monitor, and I love it! That way I know how many calories I burn per workout. I thought the chest strap would be annoying but it's not. And since MFP has customizable exercises, it's just that much easier.0

Zumba! I burn like 500-600 calories from it.0

Yes - Body Combat and also RPM if your gym offers those classes. If your gym has a Jacob's Ladder, it's one of the most burningest of cardio machines.0

Heart rate monitor is a must to determine the true number...unfortunately, don't go by what the instuctors say or MFP says...all just a guestimate...sad but true...I just found that out today when I tried my Polar HRM out for the first time...made me want to cry a little, but I picked myself up off the floor and now realize I just have to work harder!0

lol-no kidding!0

Spin burns about 12 calories a minute for me. It's great because you get to control how much effort you use. I normally burn about 650-700 per class according to my HRM.0

The best burners I know are running and swimming - Both can be done to the level of intensity you are capable of so you need to dig deep to get the burn but if you do you can go at a level where you can just sustain for a long period of time. Also hill/mountain walking is pretty spectacular - it would take all day but you can kill a couple thousand calories no problem as well as seeing some good country.0

Step ups! 100 calories in 8 minutes for me!0

150 pounds – 704 calories burned;
180 pounds – 820 calories burned;
205 pounds – 930 calories burned.
Fast Pace:
130 pounds – 710 calories burned per one hour;
