    Running. Not only do you burn calories you are toning your stomach, butt, hips, thighs. It works everything all at once. Plus you can burn more calories in a 1/2 hr run then most exercising you do. Heck when I did a 25k I burned like 2000 calories. :smile:

    I get great burns with either zumba (with a great, energetic instructor) or body combat (similiar to kickboxing).

    Over the course of a week I burn the most calories walking, simply because I do it every day without fail. I walk to work and back - 3 miles a day.

    I burn the most calories in the least amount of time swimming, closely followed by cycling. I also do aerobic workouts, but I'd rather swim!

    I burn around 350 in 1 round of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30.

    Edited to add: 1 round is around 30 minutes long.

    Stairmaster (basically the rotating escalator) is a calorie burner..
    Also, just personal resistance training... full body squats, lunges with weight -driven upper body movement, pushups....

    I can jack my HR too on the treadmill by doing side shuffles at 3.8 mph and 1-2 incline

    I recommend HIIT training....using any type of exercise...cycling, eliptical, jump rope, running....just HIIT it...get that heart rate up there and you'll burn the most calories.

    Do anything with high intensity and you will burn a lot of calories...don't take the easy way out:

    run instead of walk
    run on incline
    jump rope
    elliptical
    kickboxing
    cycling
