So I found this workout on Pinterest claiming to burn 1000 calories. I'm fairly new to working out (I did it yesterday and it kicked my but) so I'm just curious to know if this REALLY burns 1000 calories. I know sometimes you can't believe everything on the net !

    Use a fitbit while doing this and see how much it says you burned.

    So maybe this is the difference between science calories and food calories. 1 food calorie = 1,000 science calories. That's why sometimes you see people say kCal, that's short for kilo-calorie.

    Humans don't burn 1,000 kCal in 10 minutes. This is "hey you want to buy a bridge?" territory.

    It would depend on an individual, and how vigorously you did this.

    I burn 1000 calories in about 90 minutes of zumba that just about leaves me falling over, and I am 200lbs

    Nobody is burning 1,000 calories in 10 minutes...

    I would burn somewhere in that neighborhood in about 90 minutes on my bike going about 25 miles or so.

    10 minutes of intense exercise may burn 100 calories if you are extremely heavy. 1000 is a ridiculous claim.

    i had to run a half marathon to get that sort of burn!!!

    I wouldn't think so.

    I have to cycle 50 km to burn 1000 calories (100 cal/5 km) ... or walk for 5 hours (200 cal/hour).

    Depends on numerous amount of factors! But I can be the test dummy and do it with my polar and tell you how many calories i burned with it.

    HRMs are really only *somewhat* accurate with steady state cardio (such as jogging and cycling). That's way too much jumping around to get an accurate reading in my experience.

    Has anybody been to the website listed at the bottom of the flyer? It's enough to induce an epileptic seizure.

    Good heart rate monitors are almost always accurate. At what they do: monitoring your heart rate. When they're not accurate, it's because it's a chest strap and the weather is cold and dry, or it's a wrist strap that's not being worn properly, not because you're riding a course with rolling hills.

    Good point.

    Most of anything on Pinterest fitness related is woo.

    People can post anything related to fitness on Pinterest and I've seen it all, or at least I thought I had til I saw this. The most common ones I see are related to burning belly or thigh fat. There are some helpful posts, but you have to weed out the woo. Mostly I stick to recipes and crafty crap on Pinterest.

    For me, personally, this burns about 125-130 calories. I'm pretty tiny, but I doubt it'd really burn much more for someone heavier than me. I don't know your stats, but I'd guess it didn't burn more than 150-170 calories, if that

    Of all the crap posted on Pinterest, this may indeed be the smelliest of them all.

    It is physically impossible for any human being to achieve, much less maintain the intensity required to burn 1000 calories in 10 minutes.

    There's nothing wrong with this workout, whatsoever. It looks like a great 10 minute routine. I would not expect to burn any more than about 1/10th of that amount of calories though. Maybe a little bit more if you don't rest AT ALL between exercises.

    I'm not even going to go to the website at the bottom of that picture. My computer screen might well turn into literal feces from just clicking on the link.

    Somebody get me a shovel...

    Well, are a car? If you are, sure you can burn 1000 calories in 10 minutes, even more. Not sure how you would do crunches in that case without serious damage, though. If you aren't, then tough luck for being more fuel efficient than a car. You will have to settle for an average of 5-7 calories per minute for moderate intensity exercise.

    No, definitely not. 1000 calories is several hours hiking over rough terrain, not doing a few calisthenics in your living room.
