    thats not even necessary.

    Doing Les Mills, i burn just under 600 cals in a 55 minute cardio work out... and thats not even going at MAX intensity the entire time.

    I have always wondered this as well. There are some people on my FL that seem to burn that much every work out! I'm lucky if I burn over 300 in an hour. However, during zumba my instructor and I both wear a HRM. Each week hers reads over 1,000 calories burned in the one hour session. I barely break 300 and I feel like I have worked my *kitten* off! Her HRM goes around her chest whereas mine goes on my wrist. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I am in awe of those who can burn so much in a one hour session!
    the chest straps are more accurate IMO

    Even a 165-pounder can burn 1000 in an hour running - it takes 8 miles, or a 7-minute pace. That is well within the reach of a dedicated amateur.

    am not quite 165lbs but according to this (http://www.runnersworld.com/tools/calories-burned-calculator) I need to run 12 lots of 5 minute miles one after the other to burn 1000 calories, and I'm just a normal weight and height

    The most I can burn now is about 700 in a spin class.. When I weighed 180 lbs I could burn about 900 in same class.
    I burn 400 in insanity for 30 minutes.

    That would make sense since you are a significantly larger person compared to the OP.

    Oh good, this thread again...

    You can do it running, but you have to be pretty fast and pretty heavy.

    8 miles @ 7:30 pace = 1,000+ calories in an hour for me (I weigh ~ 180). That's close to my half marathon pace, so I do it as a tempo run (once a week at most).

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

    That'd be my guess anyway.
    This.

    Swimming or running with a very high intensity. Also, volume weight training will do the trick! IE: 10 sets of 10 squats

    However, this is NOT a daily thing. You will EXHAUST yourself if you're constantly burning 1000kcals an hour.

    I know its possible, does anyone out there burn 1,000 calories in an hour if so How? I usually burned this by swimming vigourously for an hour but now that I got swimmers shoulder I need to find an alternative.
    Don't want to burst your bubble, but you're not burning 1000 cals/hr swimming at your weight.

    60 Minutes of Spin/Cycle class works pretty well for me. Depending on instructor however but I can generally pull out about 1000 in an hour.
