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.1

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.4 -
Most of anything on Pinterest fitness related is woo.6

It would depend on an individual, and how vigorously you did this.0

That image calls for hundreds of exercises to be done and says it will take less than 10 minutes. Wherever you found this, stop going there.5

From random website I found:World record holder Usain Bolt of Jamaica can run 100 meters in 9.72 seconds. If a man equal to Bolt's 200-pound frame sprinted for that amount of time, he would burn about 3.6 calories, or less than one-eighth cup of blueberries.
If these numbers are correct, that means the fastest man alive would only burn ~222 calories if he was able to maintain his sprinting pace for 10 minutes. Nuff said..

I burn 1000 calories in about 90 minutes of zumba that just about leaves me falling over, and I am 200lbs1

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.0 -
Maybe if you weight 1000 lbs...4

10 minutes of intense exercise may burn 100 calories if you are extremely heavy. 1000 is a ridiculous claim.2

i'm going to say typo.... 100 maybe, not 1000.
i had to run a half marathon to get that sort of burn!!!3 -

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).0 -
Not no, but hell no.3

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.0

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.0 -
Has anybody been to the website listed at the bottom of the flyer? It's enough to induce an epileptic seizure.1
