    Without a doubt, ZUMBA, baby!! I'm an Instructor, so I go all out, each and every time. I can literally wring my hair out after class. I burn 600+ cals/hr. It's got the added benefit of being so darn fun!!! It's helped me lose 50lbs(38 of those without diet change). On Zumba off days, I find the elliptical is the biggest calorie burner for me.

    the treadmill on a incline burns cal much faster in a hour

    Agreed. Have incorporated this into my week. But running for sure, because I love it! And elliptical just to mix it up

    I use a stationary bike. A hour on a stationary bike vigorous effort burns almost 1,000 calories. You need to keep your speed at 15-17 miles per hour but it burns ALOT of calories. I've lost 23 lbs in 2 months and i still eat junk every once in awhile. :)

    Weight lifting. An hour of weights increased my TDEE by 500 calories on average. So that's 500 calories burned per day for 1 hour of weight lifting 3 times per week.

    There are several factors to high calorie burning. Duration, Intensity and your weight. The more you way the more calories are burned. Everyone has their favorite cardio machine or workout that they love. I too love Insanity. But do what works for you. Whatever you choose..... go hard or go home!

    I'm always seeing people that I am friends with burning 400-500 calories doing some type of exercise. How are you achieving such high calorie burns? What is your favorite calorie burning workout?
    hiking, or things that you can do for an extended period of time. Intense cardio like jumping rope burn calories faster but you easily burn out so in the end you don't burn as much. Also, the larger you are the more calories you burn so some people can burn that easy.

    Running or Insanity. I strongly recommend you get at Heart Rate Montior. That's how you know exactly how many calories you are burning which is always more or less than what MFP says you are burning.
    What is a good one, please?

    I just got a Polar FT7. I like it a lot. Polar makes a good product.

    I have this too. Love it!

    400-500 calories would be 4-5 miles of running for me.

    Right now I'm doing Turbo Fire. It's quite the calorie burner.
