You can make fat-burning fun again with one of these super-charged activities. Not only will they breathe new life into your gym time, helping you stay motivated, but they’ll also keep your body burning more calories. Burning 1000 calories a day is not an easy task, but with dedication and intensity, it can be accomplished. The amount of calories burned depends on a person’s weight and fitness level, as well as the intensity level and the type and duration of activity.
Exercises for burning 1000 calories a day
5. Climbing Stairs
A simple stair climb back and forth up and down the stairs for 20 minutes can burn up to 1,000 calories. That’s right, 1,000 calories! Taking each step one at a time vigorously will help.
Start with 60 stairs. Even if you have to go up multiple flights of stairs, it’s ok.
Go back and forth, up and down, without stopping.
You’ll feel the results after 20 minutes!
4. Jump Rope
As one of the highest calorie-burning exercises, jumping rope burns about 11 calories per minute. Varying speed and increasing intensity while jumping can burn up to 20 calories per minute. It is estimated that a 150-lb. person jumping rope at a moderate level (140 revolutions per minute) burns 1,022 calories in 60 minutes (try 15 minute…
… intervals throughout the day). Jumping rope at a fast pace (180 to 200 revolutions per minute) burns around 1,020 calories in 50 minutes.

3. Biking
Calories burned while bicycling depends on intensity and terrain. The amount of calories burned will differ when riding a stationary bike versus an outdoor bike. A 150-lb. person bicycling at a racing pace (16 to 19 mph) for 75 minutes burns about 1,020 calories. Biking 14 to 15.9 mph (vigorous effort) burns close to 1,022 calories in 90 minutes.
2. Interval Training
Interval training combines short bursts of high-intensity exercises with recovery exercises, a less-intense form of exercise. Sprinting for two minutes with a one-minute recovery jog is an example of interval training. Interval training burns calories faster due to the high burst of intensity. A walk that usually takes 60 minutes may only take 45 minutes with small bursts of high-intensity walking. Depending on the exercise, interval training can burn 1,000 calories in 60 to 90 minutes. Strength-training exercises, such as push-ups, lunges, squats or bicep curls, can be used as recovery exercises in combination with high-intensity exercises.

1. Jogging
Believe it or not, jogging burns a large number of calories in a short amount of time. A 150-lb. person running at 6 mph (10-minute mile) burns approximately 1,022 calories in 90 minutes. Increasing speed burns more calories in a shorter period of time. The same person can burn 1,020 calories in 60 minutes running at 9 mph (6.5-minute mile). Running stairs burns 1,020 calories per hour.
