Yes, kickboxing. I'm on my third week of kickboxing and the inches are dropping. 4+ hours per week. Try it!

Digging a hole or walking up stairs.0

Rollerblade! I go for an hour and burn around 700calories. It's fun z0

Insanity plyo workout, twice if needed!0

How on earth can any program promise up to a 1000 calorie burn? That seems highly improbable to me.0

Doesn't have to be 500 calories! I just want to eat more lol. I love to work out but 400 calories running is great too
Well, how many calories does MFP give you already (w/o the exercises)?0 -
Kettlebells... Several studies have shown that Kettlebell workouts burn roughly 20.2 calories per minute!
That's pretty intense and I have seen amazing gains (fat loss) in a very short period of time using KB's.
so you're saying the 10 minutes of single leg RDL I did with my KB suddenly burned 200 calories- roughly the same as the two miles of running I did.
HA.
Okay- sure. whatever you say.
have fun getting fat over eating based on those ridiculous over inflated numbers.
A KB isn't special. It is a weight with a handle on it. It burns no more and no less than the equivalent exercise performed with a bar bell or db of similar weight.
Changing the same of it doesn't drastically change the nature of the exercise. Changing the nature of the exercise changes the nature.0 -

Thanks for the laugh.......I needed that today.
To the OP, ignore this idea .....ice baths are far more miserable than running (but at times necessary afterward)

It looks like MAYBE a 3-hour period of cold exposure burned 250 extra calories through brown fat, and those calories came almost entirely from fat. While the fat burning is great, it is well under the calorie requirement OP was asking about, and well over the 45 minutes given to the task. Plus, could you be in an ice bath for 3 hours?!! And you would only burn enough calories to have a couple of nice brandies to warm up with.

because making money is more important than actually training people- and once you get people "fixed" they don't need product any more- so they trick people into a constant do-loop of looking for a fix- therefor spending more money.0 -
I did 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer this morning and burned 637 calories, or at least that's what the readout said. It felt like it, that's for sure.0

running and swimming.0

The more fit you are, the less you burn
None of them burn that many, unless you're already very fit.

Depends on your weight. Run 5 miles, that will be close to 500.0

... Sort of.
The more fit you are, the more efficient your body operates, so it takes less effort to complete a task...
But, you're also capable of maintaining higher levels of intensity for longer periods of time, thereby burning more calories than a less fit version of yourself at the same weight. If you work out at the same rate of perceived exertion in each case, the more fit you will burn more calories.

exactly.
If you're in shape/conditioned- you can do more of what you're asking your body to do.
If you're not- you're going to be limited by your lack of fitness.0 -

Other way around. Fit people burn a lot more calories (for example) running 30 minutes than do unfit people.
A LOT more.0 -

A LOT more.
But only because they are capable of DOING more/harder/stronger/faster- it's not like they inherently burn more because they are fitter.
also- what's up with the young robbin thing?0 -

I disagree...
What I said, was quoted from an ACE study and several articles that I've read as well as my experience of using KB's extensively for the past 3 years. I wasn't trying to be a dick and I am certainly not 'getting fat' by over eating and using any ridiculous numbers.
As I've said in a different post, when I start a HiiT KB routine, in a very short period of time, a few weeks, using the KB's 2-4 times a week. I see the fat melt off, my abs start to get more pronounced and the vascularity in my arms, chest, and shoulders become much more pronounced. So, yes I'm a fan of KB's and no one will be able to change my mind with a mildly passive aggressive post.
