? to women burning 700+ calories a workout

How do you measure what you burn in the pool? I take aqua classes but i just guess what I burn. i always try to under guess. I don't have any kind of heart rate monitor. Can they work in the pool?

I weigh between 152-154 within the last 2 weeks

Using HRM (heart rate monitor polar F7)
Spin class one hour = 650 calories burned
1 1/2 hr. hiking moderate trail = 650-700 calories burned
30 min treadmill jog/walk with incline plus 30 minutes elliptical between level 4 and level 9 burns about 620

I walk two miles @ 3.5 mph during lunch daily so I add that 130 calories burned from walking to my exercises (above) to burn over 700 calories of exercise daily.

I do 27 minutes of HIIT Cardio. At 330lbs I was burning 547 calories. At 328 I burn 538 calories. Not much of a change but I was surprised that even a 2lb difference can lower the calories burned.

thanks for your reply. How much do you burn in the pool? About how much do the waterproof monitors cost?

I hate the elliptical, can't stand it. I think it is the spawn of Satan. (Sarcasm) However, it does give me the best burn. But the last couple of weeks I have found a sequence that works fairly well for me and gets me into the 700 range (I'm 6'0" tall and 171 lbs.)

Example: Last night I did 20 mins of yoga (hatha) for stretching, 30 mins. on the stationary bike at resistance 6 of 10, 15 minutes of resistance/strength training, 30 mins walking on the treadmill varying speed (up to 4.5 mph) and incline, and ended with another 15 to 20 minutes of deep stretching.

Would have preferred to do just 10 mins on the bike to start, followed by weights and then 45 to 60 mins on the treadmill, but my neighbor was being all meathead-sweaty and hogging all the weights and benches for awhile. He had made himself a little fortress in our gym... butthead.

I just wanted to weigh in.

My roommate weighs 100 pounds more then me. When we work out together she burns 1000 calories on the elliptical in an hour and I burn 400 doing the exact same intensity workout. It's kind of crazy and honestly at first it annoyed me (especially since I'd be sweating buckets and she'd barely break a sweat) but I guess when you weigh so much the body has to work much harder.

We don't work out together anymore, I prefer short intense workouts to long drawn out ones, but sometimes after a 30 minute run when I see that I've only burned 300 calories it can be a bit frustrating still. HAHA.

The smaller you get the harder it is to achieve a high burn number. 75 minutes of weight work will get me 394 calories, that's 30 seconds btw sets, then add on 1 hour step aerobics, another 302 this is high intensity full out with a 10 inch step! i'm 5'3 110lbs...and I gotta give it my all to hit 700 calories in under 2.5 hours, no easy task! I don't really worry though about number of calories, rather then the intensity of my workout, burning 300 calories in 1/2 hour at a high intensity is much better on MY body, result wise then 1 hour at a moderate intensity..gotta find what works for you.

I also play roller derby and it is definitely the highest calorie burning workout I do! Spin is high up there too.
I practice roller derby 3x a week for 1.5-2 hours. I love skating and playing so much it doesn't feel like a chore, it's my passion. I also do a 1-hr spin class once a week (with a 90 minute class every 5th week) which is awesome for endurance. I balance out all the cardio with some strength training once or twice a week. Skating tones your legs and *kitten* like you wouldn't believe!

I burnt over 700 doing 30 treadmill 4.5mph gradient 2, 10 mins bike effort 3, 45 mins aqua class and 45 mins swimming. I was a bit tired after but was well worth and will deffo do it again.

I weigh 191lbs and 4ft 11 in

I have only burnt that many once (at the time, I was in the 130's in weight and burnt over 1,000 calories), and that was from a rigorous 6-hour mountain hike.

I have only burnt over 700 once and that was at Zumba. Its an hour class but my teacher is super high energy and there isnt much breaking going on except if you take a quick sip of water. I am 132 lbs. All my other works outs including p90x bring me to about 650 at most. I love roller derby. Would love to join one day!

Elliptical!....I have been able to burn 815 calories in 62 minutes on resistance level 3......makes you feel great!

I average about 250 per 30 minutes on an eliptical - maybe Im just not working hard enough?!

I average 200 cals per 16 mins on Elliptical. I keep it on level 10(or the highest one) and speed about 6.3

I burn about that per workout, I do the 30 day Shred AND then run on the treadmill or do hills on the treadmill. :-) I'm about 206 right now... and use a HRM

Here's a calculator to see how many calories you can burn by heart rate:

My big calorie burns are running and cycling.

Mountain biking or riding trails will burn that much at minimum in an hour. Today I went easy and walked some parts as I'm still fatigued from yesterday's ride. .but it's an excellent way to burn AND have fun!

I'm 5'9, weigh 170-175 (depends) and I go hard (fast too) as much as possible. It's an intense, but fun activity!
