I run for an hour at 5mph and walk for an hour at 4mph. It burns about 700 calories everyday. My goal is to lose 2 pounds a week so I need to find a way to burn 300 more calories. I have a treadmill, pull up bar, dumbbells, but that's about it. What do you guys do to workout? Do you know of any workout videos that work well?

My friend did what was called an insanity work out video and she loved it you might try that and she didn't need that much roomto do it0

I love any of Jillian Michael's dvd's they are worth a go. Also I'm not sure if you can depends on where you live but I've started jogging up and down the stairs in my apartment building (jogging might be an overstatement as most of the time its a fast walk) and that burns a ton of calories or so my HRM tells me.
Otherwise maybe set the incline of the treadmill up higher, so do the walk as an uphill walk.0 -
there are lots of dumbbell exercise sheets on pinterest and videos on YT !!0

You do realize that you burn calories just from living right? Also, unless you are obese, you can not lose 2 lbs per week. Thats way too aggressive for weight loss.
Look up basal metabolic rate. You end up burning 75% of your calories from that alone.0 -

And for dumbbell workouts, if you've got a smart phone, the Nike Training Club app is free and full of great workouts.0 -

This! I'm not sure why you feel you need to burn 1000 calories a day.
That much exercise is not good for your body.0 -
Interval training! For example go 2 minutes at a 5 on the treadmill then go to 8 to 9 at 45 seconds on the treadmill. Do a set of curls, then 45 seconds on the treadmill, then crunches then jump rope that way you are doing high intensity intervals.0

I've lost 2-4 pounds a week since I've started my new lifestyle of healthy eating and working out and I'm not obese. I've lost about 22 pounds in 7 weeks0 -
Squats, lunges, repeat.
jumping jacks, jumping rope, dancing.0 -
On some nights I work late and I just can't get to the gym. This week I started jogging in the basement. It may sound boring, but I it is quick and easy. Then I do about 20 minutes of various floor exercises. I have 8 pound weights that use for a variety of exercises. I am an outdoorsy person so the cold winter months are tough. I would much rather be outside.0

Losing 1-2 pounds is completely healthy, and burning 1000 calories really isn't that much. Not sure what those others are talking about.0 -
Amazes me how many people are just offering advice rather than asking why the OP feels like they need to do 2+ hours of exercise a day and burn 1000 cals a day. Totally OTT and too aggressive.0

Actually you can lose more than 2 pounds per week. Not saying you necessarily should, but it would be wrong to tell people that they can't. The week of Christmas, for example, my weight dropped 3.2 pounds. I typically lose a lot less than that each week, but it's not impossible.0
