800-1,000 cal BURN
Replies

i use the body bugg too , i did 5 miles walk/jog in a lil under 90 mins this morning and burned 975 calories ....i'm also a big girl and i think that plays a huge factor - its the ONE perk of being heavier LOLI am a bigger girl and have a core armband by bodymedia. I got one to tell me how much my BODY burns and I can get into 1,000 calories if I push myself and walk close to 1hr 45min. Like today was 761 calories just from heavy lifting and walking. So with your body frame, getting up to 1,000 just means really PUSHING to get the burn.0 -
People who are leaner, burn more calories actually, as far as my knowledge extends
- you are not burning 1000 calories in 1 hour.
Perhaps for lifting, but for running a 200 lb runner burns much more than 100 lb runner.
Come for a run with me, we can burn 1,000 in an hour (depending on how much you weigh).0 -
I am pretty sure my HRM lies to me. But its okay - I only eat back a small amount of my exercise calories (like...10%) because I am sure it lies. lol
I just did Ripped in 30, Week 1 (Jillian Michaels) and it said i burned almost 500 cal., could be true, I am not sure.0 -
My goal is a 1000 burn most days ... I certainly don't get it in one workout though. I'm a SAHM with a home gym, so I pop down there several times a day. I usually get in 5-6 20min sessions on the elliptical, 10 miles on the stationary bike and sometimes I'll get some jogging at the track in too. I'm currently doing the 30DayShred (that's another 20+min workout) - when I'm not doing that, I try to get in a full body weight workout 1-3 times a week.
Before you think I'm crazy (although admittedly I am) ... I'm often getting double duty during my workouts. I really never just SIT and watch tv ... but I'll catch up on any TV/DVDs while on the elliptical. Instead of just sitting and reading, I read while I ride my stationary bike. When by boys play basketball at the local gym, I jog the track above while I watch them play (I can usually get in 5 miles during their game).
... ok, 30 DS is JUST a workout!
A little bit here, a little bit there ... it adds up *Ü* I do try not to eat back all my exercise calories though. I know there is SO much estimation there (and on intake too) so I do like to allow some wiggle room above my calculated 500 deficit.0 -
1) Cycling, including hills, for 100 minutes.
2) Elliptical for 40 minutes. 5 km run. Rowing for 20 minutes.
3) My boxing training class, hour walking, 10 minutes elliptical.
4) 80 minutes running outside.
I have had 1600 calories burnt in exercise somedays, when I took a long bike ride and did some walking too.
ETA - I use a polar FT4 and a fitbit, high lean mass and low bodyfat, though not sure if that makes a difference to my burns or not. I do workout at a very high intensity.0 -

I disagree, personally - and as I stated, there is no accurate way to test unless you're in a lab 0 -
Also here's an interesting thread for you OP regarding using a HRM to estimate burns.

As some others have said, it's not all that hard for a distance runner. I certainly wouldn't burn 800-1000 calories running for 1 hour, but that's an easy burn to achieve with a 7-9 mile run. I'm a healthy weight and that would take me ~70-90 minutes for a long, slow run; less if I was doing a tempo run. I certainly don't do this every day, but depending upon where I am in a training program, I could easily burn that (and much, much more) twice each week.0

The steady state cardio is pretty easy to figure out. When all sources tell me (HRM, RW calc, Garmin, etc) I burn ~ 135+ per mile, I round down to 130 and call it a day.

The trick to burning 1,000 in a hour is being both heavy and fast.0 -
Eh, I'm a distance runner. I also have a weirdly high heart rate when I'm exercising, so I can easily burn 1000 calories going for a 6 mile run. You should see what I burn when I do a half marathon.. It's kind of ridiculous.
People burn calories differently because there are so many variables. Weight, heart rate, overall fitness level, height.. Those all affect caloric burn.
Not to mention, MFP lumps them all together, so there are days when I can burn 800 total from several different activities, but it looks like I burned it all at one time.0 -

Same here, when running, my heart rate remains around 87-94% of my max, depending on hills, and pretty close to that on the elliptical too.0 -
I can burn that over the course of an hour and a half plus (even taking out 25% of "number" I see) to be safe, but not in an hour. That's some Serious working out. Props to anyone who does it.0

After reading all of the comments....it's clear that many smaller weighted people have difficulty having a big burn session. People that are heavier and over 200 and 300 lbs naturally burn more. Just like someone who is 140 lbs may find it impossible to lose 8 lbs in a week, whereas a bigger person like myself have experienced that quite a few times. Just because YOU may not be able to burn that much in a workout...doesn't mean it's impossible. I wish I was small enough to have that problem.

I am over 400 lbs. A 1hr cardio activity does it for me. Like I said, I wish I was smaller. But I will keep doing this until I reach my goal. No need to lie about it. Ever watched biggest Loser? Heavier people can lose up to 20 lbs in a week whereas a smaller person can barely drop 4 lbs. I thought this was common knowledge.0 -

I've heard it argued both ways. I've heard people say that bigger people burn more because they're moving more weight (and this works for TDEE so it may be the correct argument) and I've heard people say that smaller people burn more because they can be a lot more intense.
ETA: I don't actually know which is more likely to be true, just saying it gets told both ways
Yeah same here. I look at it like: If you had to move 200lbs for 30 mins....or move 400lbs for 30 mins which one would cause more of your energy to burn?0 -

It's sort of true for both.
Calories burned is based on weight x intensity so both apply.
It is possible burn 800-1000 calories in an hour, however you would have to be heavier or work at a high intensity.
The average burn for running is roughly 100 calories per mile. It tends to be lower for women (who weigh less on average), closer to 80-90 calories and a little higher for men, 110-120 calories per mile.
8-10 miles in an hour is a pretty hard pace.0 -
I burn over 1000 a lot of times... I wondered if it was an overestimate but I recently got a heart rate monitor and it was pretty spot on. Today I did 90mins on the elliptical, 2hrs SUP, 50mins running and burned 1729cal. I obviously spend a lot of time exercising tho so that's partly how I burn so many calories0

I'm pretty sure the MFP calculations are grossly inflated. It calculated that I burned over 1,100 cals. mowing grass for two hours. Honestly, maybe I did since our entire yard takes at least five hours to mow, it's all at an incline (1/2 much more "hilly" than the rest), and is all push mowed. I decided to trust about 450 cals. burned instead. I figure it's better to underestimate than over.
I have a HRM now (with weight, height, and age programmed) and during my last Insanity workout burned 553 calories in 40 minutes. I could see how people could burn 1,000+ in a day but wouldn't trust MFP calculations.0 -
I burn around 2000 just sitting around doing nothing. *shrug* :happy:0

How true ! ! !
I am very small and light. For a burn of at least 300 calories, I need to exercise almost 3 hours. I space it through out the day. And then I realized it is not sustainable in the long run.
Now I try to aim for a burn between 100-200 daily for cardiovascular health.
The only time I was burning more than 500 is when my housekeeper was away. I used to do all the normal household chores ( I don't do that usually) along with my exercise.
And I had lost 1 kg in about 10 days.
I regained it after my housekeeper was back.:laugh:0 -
I've seen more than 1000 sometimes. Idk how these people do it, it really is astonishing. I've got what food to eat down pat. And I put in an effort to sweat 6 days a wk. my burns are between 162-360. I've tried to do a 1000 cal burn workout and I couldn't!! Like damn what are you people on!? Lol
What's up with that?
Depends on what the person was doing, weight, height, length, ect
The only time I had a 1000 calories added in my exercise diary was:
MFP was set to sedentary
Fitbit adjustment for 1000 calories
I went to the zoo with my husband and son. Walked to every exhibit. Didn't ride the train or anything like that. After that we went to a state park for a picnic followed by a 3 mile walk on one of the trails in the park. So I pretty much spent the whole day moving. It definitely wasn't achieved in an hour or less though.0 -
i use to burn 1000 doing an advanced step class but i dont get that burn anymore and I am heavy lol But I am slower now.0

MFP says I burned 820 calories today. I use a Fitbit, so the number is just a lump sum "calorie adjustment" -- the difference between my "sedentary burn" and what the Fitbit says I burned.
Over the course of today, according to the Fitbit, I walked 11 miles (actually, a few of those miles were jogging) and climbed 105 flights of stairs (yay 100 flights daily badge!!!). My highest "calorie adjustment" burn is 918, from a day on which I walked over 17 miles. That took pretty much all day.
According to my HRM with custom zones, I burn 10-12 calories a minute on the adaptive motion trainer -- an 800-1000 calorie burn in one workout is a possibility there, although the most I've done is around 600 calories.
Weight is a big, big factor in burn rates, of course. But my BMI is between 21 and 22, so it's not just "heavy" people.0 -

And where are your sources for that? I use a polar ft60, which does a personal fitness test including using height, weight, age and VO2Max and I have burned over 1000 calories in an hour in the past.0 -
Per my HRM I burnt 959 calories today from 112 minutes of spin + running. Its possible.0

I should have said "As far as I remember" rather than what I said.
I kinda meant a lean, MUSCULAR person so yeah, I've done goofed, but i still dont think many people that are unfit/overweight are going to actually burn 1000 calories (i don't care what a HRM/device says)0 -
I'd never believe what my HRM tells me as far as calorie burn. It told me I burned 600cals walking for 45 minutes.0
-
I probably do that 4 or 5 times a week. But I train for longer distance events such as Olympic tris, half marathon and up and go to the gym on top of that.0
-
Well I used to burn close to that with Insanity when I started but more you lose weight and better your cardio becomes..less you burn lol.... that's the problem!
I still burn over 1000 cal twice a week but............. I do many things for that....It's not in ONE workout. it's also in over 2-3 hours of hard training.
HRM need to have a chest strap and have no preset levels....this is crap! I can set mine to have the levels of my hearbeat so....more i push..more my level go up and i burn more but if i'm laying down...i burn almost freakin' nothing....
So many device and bad hrm are giving bad fake results..... beware of that.0 -
It takes me 2 hours of very high impact aerobics to burn over 1K calories, but I only succeed at this once a week (Saturdays)... I use a Polar HRM and a Fitbit to keep me honest.0

Some good threads to read on this topic.

As noted in one, things like walking are fairly predictable. A 300 lb person burns roughly 11 calories a minute walking at a moderate pace, that's approximately 666 calories in an hour. If they upped the intensity for even part of that time they could easily get close to 1000.
And I'm not relying on HRM info. I'm usually the one pointing out how inaccurate they can be.
Calories burned = weight x intensity.0
