    Exercise doing something you enjoy. There's no easy way to do this other than just get out and be active. It's spring time, walk, jog, bike, hike, swim, garden, houseclean, workout videos, lift weights, sports etc.

    Keep in mind that what I burn in an hour of jogging is not going to be the same as what you or anyone else burns in an hour. Your weight, age, height, and sex are all primary factors in determining the rate by which you burn calories.

    A 5k run for me, may burn 600 calories, but for someone of the opposite sex, and half my weight, may only burn 250 calories.

    I'm 5'2, 115lbs and currently burn about 650 calories in a 10km run (approximately 60 minutes) plus cooldown time. I also burn pretty big from bicycling - helps to keep speed above 20-25km/h or over varied terrain. I live in a very hilly city so cycling for about an hour will also burn about 600 calories for me.

    I live in Alaska so we still have snow, but I like to snowshoe & cross country still. I can easily rack up 600 in an hr or less. You can probably duplicate it with a steady pace on an elliptical or gazelle.

    I burn about 100 cals in 10 mins walking at 9 mins per km pace, so basically a brisk walk for an hour will burn 600.

    I normally only do 30-45 mins per day, and a bit more at weekends.

    Breaking into a run will burn more, but I have back trouble so need to minimise impact.

    Burn rate does depend on gender/age/weight; I'm still quite big/heavy so my burn rate is likely to be greater than yours.

    I'm 5'5", 133 lbs and I hit 600+ on my HRM when I do my runs. I do 60 minutes varying the incline from 1.5 to 3.5 or so and speeds of 5.5mph to 6mph.

    hi,I don't enjoy running or jogging but I do enjoy swimming and I burn around 700 calories an hour(breaststroke) and I swim for 2 hrs a week and hopefully I will start to see some results soon.
    my advice is to do any exercise that you enjoy.
    keep it up!

    Spring is here. Pull out that old bicycle and jump on! I use mine to commute and to run small errands.

    I can burn 600 cals or more doing about 2 hours of walking. Depends on if I do any jogging during the walk as to how long I need to walk to burn that 600.
