What's the most you have burned?

I have burned 800 on the treadmill or an hour of interval training but it was pretty intense and the sweat was really flying. Don't know if that is high or not. It is nearly four hours. Could be close to true.

1100 ish

I just ran a half marathon in 2:20 and burned approximately 1400 calories.

The bigger you are, the more you're going to burn though. I'm 127 pounds.

I just logged 1245 cals or so doing about 3.5 hours of moving furniture when I helped a friend move on Saturday. It was hard work, I sweated a lot and my muscles hurt like hell. I did read on another post someone saying that you should log the burned calories minus the calories you would have burned during that same time just sitting around so that you are only adding in the 'extra' calories from the intense activity.

I usually burn 500 a workout and sometimes do 3 a day (before work, cycling to and from work, then after work) and that can be 1500 a day. I rarely do more than an hour at once though, so only have done about 3 hours about three or four times, and each time I burnt over 1500 calories (half marathon, triathlon training, epic training session and training for half marathon and that's it)

The best way to get fit is to find something that works you a lot but doesn't feel like work! if you are incredulous at how much that burnt, i'd say keep it up! it's hard to stick at something if you're not enjoying it and counting the time until it's over

Binary - it's easy to work out. Work out your bmr, which is what you burn doing nothing. Divide that amount by 24 to see what you burn an hour, and by a further 60 to see what you burn a minute. My bmr is 1460 calories a day so I burn about a calorie a minute. I therefore subtract 30 calories from whatever value my heart rate monitor gives me for 30 minutes exercise.

Early this month I burned 2570 on a 3 hour hike carrying a backpack weighing over 10lbs.

I played golf this Sunday. 18 holes walking, carrying my bag. It took 3 hours 45 mins. I was shocked to find out I burned 1285 calories. Thats like a Big Mac and large fries, not that I would indulge in that nastiness. I didn't trust the calculator, so even though I did eat a lot of calories that day, I left 500 in the bank. I weighed less in the morning so maybe it was right. Does that figure sound right to you guys? What's the most you ever burned with one activity? I am a 167 pound male.

I'm a golfer and I was curious to see how many calories I burned in a typical 18 hole round. The league I am in requires a cart and I live in Florida (very flat) so I didn't think it would be very much. Well, two weeks ago, I wore my heart rate monitor (with chest strap) the entire time. Including the 45 minutes of warming up and stretching I was out there for 4 1/2 hours and it said I burned 872 calories! I'm a 145 lb. woman and didn't carry my bag (of course, my handicap is probably higher than yours so I swung the club way more times!) but I was stunned. I never do the math thing about backing out my existence calories but I also don't eat more than half my exercise calories anyway. So, your 1285 could be right especially if the course is hilly. The most I have burned working out was around 1200 for back to back 45 minutes spin classes and I could wring my clothes out afterwards.
