in Fitness and Exercise
My gym had a full day of back to back master classes on Thursday, and I challenged myself to do 6 of them in that one day. Basically 3 sets of 2 back to back classes. These were boxing fitness, abs, kickboxing fitness, hot iron(body pump basically), step class with weights and gladiator fitness...45 minutes each. I also walked a bit.

That was a 1900 calorie burn.

What is the most you ever did ?

    I danced (moderate to heavy) for 7 hours straight at an electronic dance music party. It was about 1800 calories. Needless to say, I could barely walk after that.

    26 miles hiked in one day. I was going for 32 miles but we started too late and had to turn back so we didn't lose light. Over 2000 calories, conservatively 2100 calories, but was probably higher due to the terrain. My legs were dead for days.

    A 5k with a Zumba warmup, then another hour of Zumba AFTER the 5k, and another hour of lifting after that. I could barely move the next day. Not recommended.

    A half-marathon.

    To be fair, it probably just FELT like the most exercise ever - I hate running and every step of the months of training was torture.

    100 miles on my hybrid cycle back in June. 6:57 hours cycling, 7:26 elapsed time.

    Just under 4,000 calories burned and a whole stack of carbs eaten.

    I did the London Marathon a few years ago. A very slow time, as I'm not a runner, but must have burned around 2600. The only way i could get down the stairs the next day was by coming down backwards!

    High altitude trekking in the Himalayas: 7-11 hour days at 3500-5700m altitude. At some points you had to pause for a second to get your breath back after taking a single step. It takes a long time to get anywhere at high altitude and there's a mental aspect to it that you can't replicate anywhere else.

    Was gone two months and even eating multiple yak/buffalo steaks a day, lost an ungodly amount of weight. Went out at 12 stone-ish and came back 9 stone-ish (around 125lb). Family and friends were worried for me, strangers thought I was battling a terminal illness.

    You literally can't eat enough food at that level of physical activity and it changes you emotionally/mentally. I literally left the old me on a mountain somewhere.

    2.4 mile swim, 112 miles undulating road ride around the Swiss Alps, 26.2 mile run. Just under 16 hours total.
    No idea how many calories burned. It wasn't important.

    ^^^ Well holy moley!

    Hard to top that, but I do BodyCombat, BodyPump, and then BodyAttack back to back on Saturdays, every other week. It'd be weekly but the Saturday BodyAttack class is only offered on an alternating basis. The classes are one hour each and I burn anywhere from 1400 to 1800 total calories.

    Hell of a good job on the ironman. Honestly, your time doesn't matter on those, just just you finished.

    Mine, run a 10km road race, then head to the gym for a full back workout including heavy (>90%) deadlifts.

    Climbing Gayasan (mountain) in South Korea. 1433 meters = 4 hours up and 3.5 hours down. I could barely walk for 2 weeks after. Calories = no idea. Probably over 4,000 plus tears.

    Wow, now that must have taken insane stamina.
    Something I could not do due to having COPD.

    Working a 9 hour shift....with breaks. You people are beasts! I'm hoping I can keep up when I have more energy and endurance to do so! I want to be a fitness nut.

    I am not a fitness nut. When I was fitter than I am now I used to like to go hiking or better known as; walking in the woods with friends to the top of a mountain to enjoy the views. I'm the slowest one of the crew too at least on the way up :)

    Hmm..well got up and in the morning did a brutal hiit ladder workout (20 mins) then a blogilates ab workout and then a 20 minute cardio workout. Then I had school, including double PE, then two dancing classes after school (ballet and highland dance), then when I got home I went for a 2 mile run, did a bodyrock workout, lower body pilates workout and stretching.
    All to be repeated for weeks after -taking away dancing classes on some days but I would practise at home anyway.

    Up to 75kms of biking even though it was at a leisurely pace. Beneath that, 45kms in just under two hours :drinker:
