Not all exercise is created equal: the best activities for calorie-burning are aerobic and sustained.
You Will Need
- Athletic clothes
- A gym
Always consult a physician before attempting to do any exercise or exercise plan.
Step 1: Go running
Go on a run. Keep up an 8.5 mile per hour pace and you’ll burn over 800 calories per hour.
All of our calories-burned measurements are for a 155-pound person over one hour. If you weigh more, you’ll burn more; if you weigh less, you’ll burn fewer.
Step 2: Cycle
Ride a bike, stationary or road. It’s relaxing and burns 1,126 calories if you keep up a 20 miles per hour pace.
Step 3: Swim
Dive in and swim a few laps. It’s a little less precise, but keep up a moderate pace and you’ll drop around 700 calories.
Step 4: Box or spar
Boxing is a great way to relieve stress and practice self-defense. It’ll also melt 800 calories.
Step 5: Play racquetball or a similar sport
If you’re the white-collar type, a game of racquetball will give you the chance to burn 700 calories and make Sampson from Accounting look like a fool.
Step 6: Row
Row a boat, or a stationary machine if you don’t have one: 600 calories and you get to sit the whole time.
Step 7: Jump rope
Jump rope. Sure, it can get a little boring, but 844 calories an hour is no joke, and besides running, it’s the cheapest activity possible.
Step 8: Have sex
Lastly, sexual intercourse burns up to 300 calories per hour. That’s right: jumping rope is nearly three times better than sex.
A calorie is defined as the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius.

Nice - some great ideas...I do cardio in the gym a lot and I do intervals to break up the straight running. I was told it will increase your heart rate better too. I like running outside, but it gets so hot. I will invest in a jump rope and a canoe (just kidding) - we go canoeing all the time, but I sit in front...not as much work. So I am always looking for workout ideas on burning calories…Keep them coming!
I am a online student at Rasmussen College and I work full time so I have to stay in good health so to keep the brain turning. If you know what I mean... I blog some blogs about exercising and good health - check them out...I love visitors!

One correction. In physics, a calorie is the amount of energy required to heat 1 gram of water by 1 degree C, but in nutrition, one calorie is 1000 physics calories. 1000! That means one calorie burned would heat a liter of water 1 degree C.

SawazzzzDEE ... very Good. ;-)
Muay Thai Kickboxing workouts burn the most CAL's ... focus in on punches, elbows, knees, kicks and clinching.
Muay Thai Workouts are 1000 plus Burners. ;-)

@ deckard1 that's pretty funny, dude
This vid is very helpful if you're looking for a great way to burn some calories, and it's presented in an easily understood and light manner. My favorite part, though, is that jumping rope is THREE TIMES! better than sex ^_~ [In your face!, Sam]
