Does anyone know how much slow running in place approximately burns?

If you are talking "low intensity" be prepared to spend 3 or 4 hours working on that 1000...0

I would like to work off some overeating and see whether I can make this challenge. It is not intended for everyday! I am in the mood for sports, too. I should maybe add that I prefer doing long low intensity over any high intensity hardcore stuff...
Many thanks for all of your help again! By the way-do you all have trackers? If so which ones?
I have a Polar HT4 and oops! Sorry, it was not $30, I paid $55 for it. Worth it, though.0 -
12 -3 Minute rounds of Boxing on a heavy bag....1 minute active rest between rounds....works for me..0

If you don't normally do that insensity of physical activity...i.e. regularly run or bike long distances in short times, I'd say it's a bad idea to try to burn 2000 calories in one shot. A really bad idea.0

10,000 steps a day is about 800 calories0

I'm a relatively lightweight female person (5'4", 126lbs) and I don't think I would burn anywhere near 1000 calories running 10 miles.0

I took it to mean her actual burn, not the machine's readout or MFP over-estimation.0 -

Don't try and burn off a bad day. Chalk it up to experience.0

Ah. Well, she's saying she would burn 2000, 1000 of which are "real." I know MFP isn't super accurate, but it's not off by 50%.0 -
Yes, I mean the MFP calorie estimation, which is higher than the real calories I read here several times. Also, many machines like ellipticals in the gym overestimate "real" calorie burn. In addition, I thought that even the calories given by HR monitors etc. are not the real ones because you have to substract your BMR calories tha you would use for the time you exercise (or am I wrong?). EG if you are running for an hour and let's say your HRM says 1000 cal , that does only mean that you have burnt 1000 cal minus the amount your body would have needed for that time to sustain his life functions anyway (BMR:24 hours). EG if your BMR is 1200 you would have to substract 50 calories from the 1000 to get your "real" extra calories burn. Or am I wrong with that?

I am usually very active. So I guess I could give that burn a try. If it gets too exhausting I would stop of course, because I am an "only for pleasure" exerciser...0
-
Yeah that's doubtful. Takes me an hour of boxing to hit just under 1,000 cals. And that's with mfp estimations, which I heard are a little high...

By a bicycle. Ride it for a couple hours at a fast pace.0

Only a pleasure exerciser? What is that?
If you are very active already then why the 2000 (or 1000) calorie burn?
