How do you burn 1,000 Cals in 1hr of Exercise

the first time i did the pure cardio + cardio abs workout of insanity i burnt 784 in about 56 mins.

there was also a couple of minutes break between dvds and the ab component (about 15 mins) was not high intensity at all

there are hour long workouts to insanity which ive not yet started (another week or so) and I'm quite certain I would burn 1000 cals in that hour.

i reckon theyd be some insanity graduates that would say the same thing.

By being large, out of shape, and working very hard.

That'd be my guess anyway.

I find it very hard to crack 10 cal/minute. When I do crack that limit, I can't hold it for an hour. Intervals might be your best bet for "Bang for your buck" but again, if you can do them for an hour, you aren't doing them right.

According to your ticker, you have only 13 lbs left to lose. Thus, you should be looking at establishing a deficit in the neighborhood of 300 or so calories below maintenance intake. With that said, why do you need to burn 1000 calories?

At 5'9" 280lbs I burn around 530 Cals in 30 minutes with a hilly program on my elliptical. Doubling that to 60 mintues would put me over 1000 cal.
I don't have a HRM yet to confirm this but the online calories burned calculator's also show that me at 280lbs on an elliptical burns well over 1000 cal.

dont need to be 300lbs, i'm only 180 and i can burn 1000 if i make a concerted effort but my Cal/Burn has dropped from around 30 per minute when i was 244lbs to now i average 10 cals a minute doing anything other then Cycling which is still upwards of 20, to get 1000 per hr you'd have to be doing cardio and intensly riding a bike on a challenging track full of hills would put you over or maybe running/orbital on a high resistance..

If you really want to create a deficit of 1000 just don't eat as much and in my case for a while i was going half deficit from exercise the other half from diet still creating the big deficit but not creating too much from exercise alone. You don't really lose weight from exercise anyway if anything Exercise will put on weight with retained water and recomposition of muscle/fat structure, exercise just improves the cardiovascular and muscle structure which in turn improves your bodies ability to manage caloric intake and consumption. Diet creates a deficit in that consumption.

Whatever works for you is you need to do, not what works for me or anyone else here.

Sadly at my weight I'm not entirely sure how I could genuinely burn 1,000 calories in a hour.

However I did read into this many years ago and as back then I was a very keen Alpine climber and It was estimated that the burn was around 850cals a hour (and I would eat crap and still lose over half a stone in a week of this kind of climbing) so I was inclined to believe that...It's a bit extreme to go climbing mountains to lose weight (but fun mind...)

I noticed you mentioned cycling - This does not burn as many calories a hour as running does unless your outside and cycling like a bat out of hell!

If that's you in the picture then you look pretty light, which means sadly naturally you'll burn less energy and have to work harder than someone who was say 30lbs more...

If the 1,000 calorie burn is what your after for me at 5'7 and around 134lbs I would have to run 10+ miles or run 6miles + row + cross train/or have a good length circuit training sesh..So it varies from person to person and you should build a plan to suit you and what your body is able to burn without you burning out..

I would find it impossible for me. Flat out, I can maybe burn 600 cals an hour.

Why do you think you need to be burning such high amounts?

What do you use to work out your calories burnt?
