Howdy ho all!

Unless you are a workout junky, I think we can all agree that no one likes to be in the gym for hours sweating and panting just to burn those few hundred calories. SO... I think it would be nice if people could share the workouts that they have found to burn the most amount of calories in the shortest amount of time!!

    I usually jog/power walk for 30 min. Then do 15 minutes of jumping rope POW 500 calories burned (via HRM)

    I also walk up and down 18 flights of stairs at least once a day at work which burns an additional 100 calories

    Step aerobics - low impact, but still high intensity.

    Yeah, I've heard circuits are the best way to go! What is a suspension trainer??

    I had knee surgery a little while ago so IDK about the jump ropes but I'm definitely going to get on that when my body feels up to it!

    I just started doing the step classes at my gym and I love it! Yeah I can burn around 600 calories just in that class.

    Running. But, I think 90% of this is diet.

    Best thing that I have found so far that works for ME is putting the treadmill at 4-4.3mph and at 10-15 incline. 175 calories in 15 minutes.... Doesnt seem like alot but for how much I eat, burning 300-500 calories a day is enough.

    Squats, deadlifts, and intervals. But this is no secret.

    A suspension trainer is a simple device that lets you do a wide variety of bodyweight exercises while being able to adjust the difficulty based on your fitness level. It also allows you to do exercises you normally wouldn't. Google the TRX. That's not the one I have, but it's similar.

    My biggest BLASTING exercise comes from taking Alli and doing Ab Ripper X. Beware the blasting!

    I do 9 flights a day and it sure feels like it should be more than 100 calories lol

    I jump rope (50 times) rest for 1 minute, Do this 5 times. Next, I do 100 situps (not all at once) rest when needed. Last I use the Eliptical Trainer for 30 minutes (try adding resistance to increase effort). Check out the amt. of calories this workout does for you.

    Yeah I've heard that it's 80% diet and 20% workout. That was quite shocking to me when I learned about it but I am a witness that it's true. I lost most of my weight while on crutches after a knee surgery. Changing my food intake was definitely the key to jumpstart it all!!
