      Jog about 4 miles in 45 minutes (11 minute pace).

      Depends what you weigh.

      11 calories per minute is quite a bit in reality.

      Inline skating, if you push yourself like mad.

      Climbing stairs might do it ... going up for a full 45 min.

      Cycling burns about 100 cal for every 5 kilometres. If you could cover 25 km in 45 min, you'd be there. I think you'd have to maintain minimum speed of about 33.3 km/h to do it if my calculations are correct.

      Walking in a treadmill with a high incline

      500 calories for me in less than an hour - running. Easy. But I weigh 178 pounds. Your mileage may vary.

      Ditto on the running.

      Set the oven to maximum temperature, insert pizza for 45 minutes, viola, that's like over 800 calories.

      Depends entirely on what you weigh. I couldn't do it. I'm not heavy enough and fit enough to get that burn. Jogging 4.5 miles in 53 minutes gets me about 300 calories. But someone quite heavy could do it by walking for half and hour.

      Do an hour of wind sprints. You'll fall over and die after but...

      By "quite heavy" you mean around 1,000 pounds moving 3mph for a half hour burn of 500 calories ... right? That's what it would take to net the type burn you're suggesting.

      The Firm has a workout called "500 calorie workout". It's one hour, but its a great combination of cardio and strength. I don't burn 500 calories while doing it, but I'm small. Running, especially with incline, is about the only way for me to get higher burns.

      run!

      Any cardio, the problem is you will have to be really pushing it and it will need to be near continuous. The less you weigh the fewer calories you will burn all things being equal.

      Look up cold therapy. It is miserable but you can literally sit still in an ice bath and burn more calories than working out (at a mild pace). I hate doing cardio. Ice baths are less miserable than running.

      You're going to burn approx. the same amount as you would sitting on your sofa that way. Sure, you'll burn some. We even burn calories while sleeping. But you're not going to burn much, and certainly nowhere near 500 cal in 45 min.

      This

      500 cals in 45 minutes is not something that you're realistically going to do unless you're pretty well conditioned, for most of the suggestions so far, you might make half of that.

      Damn- all these years I've wasted actually working out when I could have been sitting around on my *kitten* doing nothing AND getting strong and ripped!!! WHO KNEW!!! EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE!
