    Sort term? Running.
    Long term (as in keeps on burning cals). Compound weights. Squats, deadlifts, brench press, pull ups.

    There is no such thing as a "best" exercise. The best one is anyone that keeps the workout interesting enough for you that you can commit to it. Running will only work if you enjoy running and are able to do it. There are 1000's of other exercises, and take some time to try some different routines to see what works for you.

    his is based on your physical makeup and pace you run. Another poster also hit the nail on the head, gotta find what gets you interested and use that.

    If I run for an hour, I supposedly burn nearly 600 calories. Depends on several factors.

    To burn 100 calories you roughly need to run one mile so six miles.

    Try bikram hot yoga. You can burn 900 calories in 90 minutes, and its very good for you because you cleanse all the bad toxins out of your body when you sweat. And I can promise you, you sweat a lot.

    Swimming is low impact and works all your muscles at once. The amount of calories you burn will depend on your size and how fast you go.

    Not an expert but that answer is wrong. The number of calories burned doing any particular exercise is different from one person to the next. It depends on age, weight, exertion level, etc. If you want to know how many calories you are burning you might want to get a heart rate monitor. Good luck with your goals

    True its not an exact number but that's why I said roughly... Here is the generally accepted formula to calculate burned calories.

    Net burn rate per mile = 0.63 x weight (pounds)
