    Run for about an hour, or bike (at least 10-12 mph) for about 2 hours. I am not aware of any activity that will burn that much in less than an hour...

    30 to 40 minutes depending on your size on the eliptical will do it. Or an hour on a bike. Or 30 minutes or so mowing the lawn. 2 hours of cleaning. Like I said it all depends on your size.

    if you are exercising and sweating from the effort (not the heat) then you are probably burning about 9-10 calories a minute. subtract your normal calorie burn per minute of about 1.5 calories so say 7 per minute. 530 divided by 7 equals 75 minutes of exercise at a pretty hard pace. better get busy!

    One hour of zumba usually does it for me.

    Yep. Or go to hour-long kickboxing class.

    Run up stairs for 30 minutes - will burn about 500 calories.

    Or . . .

    45 minutes of Tae Bo to burn about 460 calories.

    (Running up stairs is my personal favorite)

    I do hill sprints. Find a hill and run up as fast as you can and walk down with 1 - 2 min breathers in between. I can do that 6 times and burn 700 calories according to my heart rate monitor.

    It really just depends on your weight. I can walk very briskly (3.5 miles) for an hour and burn a little over 400 so that might help if running for a solid hour sounds like too much for you (it does to me!).

    It's gonna take you about an hour to burn that much, which really isn't a long workout. Run 5-6 miles, do an insanity workout, go on the elliptical, anything to get your heart rate up!

    from my experience these numbers are all higher than what will really be burned

    walking at an incline on a treadmill.

    but remember, if you are just starting out or not conditioned for heavy exercise, you want to be careful of what you do. don't push yourself TO HARD just to get your number. 530 is a lot to burn quickly.

    I rode my bike to the pool and swam for about an hour or so then rode home and it was around 700 calories burned. The pool is about a mile bicycle ride each way. It is a cool and nice way to burn calories.

    30 or 40 minutes on the elliptical depending on your size will burn max maybe 400 calories. Don't go by what the machine says.

    If you're a member of a gym, try a spin class - I can burn between 450-550 in 45min-1hr.
