I want to burn 1000 calories a day through low impact, low intensity cardio. What's the best way to do this?

Ah, I assumed you meant in the gym. Cycling in the outdoors is much more demanding on the upper body so that would work. Hill climbing is another option if you can find a hill around you. You could do a back of the napkin estimate of the additional energy used by comparing the potential energies of an object at the top and bottom of the hill.

>I'm wondering what is most time-effective
Something you can keep doing in the long term, for sure. Plus you asked for low impact, low intensity.

Or you could swim, it's a bit higher impact and cardio.

My only worry with getting an estimate through the energy approach (good idea) is that I don't have a great understanding of my body's energy efficiency. I guess I could assume 50% efficiency to purposely lowball the calorie burn, as I doubt the human body is more than even 20% efficient.
Walking might not be a bad idea to be honest. I also have a bike. I might mix and match a few things since I enjoy going on night walks anyway.

Assuming 100% efficiency would lowball the calorie burn.

Get a job as a waiter and get paid to do it

Maybe a bit too much of a lowball though, I don't want to stack an extra two hours on the time requirement.

At least we don't sit at the fucking computer or playstation for 5 hours a day like you do. Imagine d

A quick google search indicates that walking on a level surface is about 35% efficient so your 50% number sounds good for a lowball.

Tbh id rather sit on my computer all day than doing pointless low intense cardio for 2 hours to burn 1k calories, not to mention that burning 1k calories would probably take 3 hours atleast

fucking brainlets, there is a reason why you guys will never get fit in your life

Walk for 2.5 hours. Just get some audio books to keep you company.

Get a bicycle. My 20-mile round trip commute to uni is just over 1000 kcals.

Most of the time I'd agree with you and say that I'd be better served doing HIIT and lifting, but I'm going to do this alongside water and dry fasting which will certainly result in losing a shitload of weight. I need it to be low intensity and low impact so that it's sustainable and I can do it everyday when I won't be taking in food for 4-5 days in a row.

What's wrong with that? I try for 500 calories burnt walking a day before breakfast.

low impact low intensity cardio is good for that.

that is some slow ass pace you have there user. pick it up

It takes 220 minutes of speed-walking to burn ~1000 calories. That's 3 hours and 40 minutes of doing nothing but walking. That's literally not worth the effort when you can just eat less and save nearly 4 fucking hours. Exercise is a terrible way to lose weight. It's all fucking diet.

We do LISS to maintain cardiovascular and blood pressure health. We do HIIT to get a little boost to our metabolism during a cut.

Everyone's always looking for a way out, when the most effective methods are already known and used by people with the discipline to stick with them.

When I was working in China for a few months, I didn't know anybody or speak the language, so I'd spend my evenings just listening to audiobooks and walking around. Like for 2-3 or sometimes even four hours, just super long walks. I must've walked on average at least 8 miles per day, maybe 10 or more sometimes. I also ate nothing but veggies and lean meat and tofu. I lost A LOT of weight and I didn't really work out at all back then.

So I guess long walks? I suppose if you walk briskly for an hour in the morning and jog a bit in the evening for like 30 min that should get you to around 1000kcal?

Three hours and forty minutes? How fucking slow do you walk? It takes two and a half hours I know for a fact.

You know for a fact? How are you so certain it takes two and a half hours to burn 1000 calories.

I did it last week. Calorie count pedometer app.

Lol, I'm fucking done. Goodbye.

Apparently I'm banned from uploading images. Do it for yourself. 2.5 hours.

based retard

How do I row, what's the best tutorial on yt?

I don't even understand why you're quoting a number when it varies greatly based on weight.

I like how you dumb dumbs missed the point entirely. Its easier to not eat those 4 extra candy bars a day than to spend some significant amount of time doing bitch cardio. Don't get lost in the minutia of 2.5 hours versus 3.5 hours of LISS, focus on consuming 1000 less calories a day instead.

Hike 9 miles relatively flat or 7 miles with at least 1500 feet elevation gain.

1,000 calories is a lot of activity, so probably best to do a wide variety of stuff. Just walking for hours every day is going to make your feet hurt, be boring as fuck (although maybe not so bad if you have somewhere nice to walk) and possibly cause joint pain if you are heavy (or carrying a heavy load).

How many things you can do depends on your skills and what resources you have. A gym can give you a treadmill, rowing machine, stationary bike, and possibly a pool, all of which can do a variety of paces and resistance levels and allow you to use a phone or tablet while working out (except in the pool, obviously). It also makes it easy to transition to a different exercise when you get tired or bored.

On the other hand, going outside means you get to look at nature, maybe meet people, explore new places, and get exposed to sunlight. Those can all be good too.

Even a couple hundred calories of extra food makes it much easier to squeeze in the micronutrients and protein needed for optimum health gains. I find it impossible to eat all the nutrients I want and stay within my calorie budget without quite a lot of cardio, even though I am using whey, egg whites and supplements.

Retard, read
I'm already consuming nothing everyday, what I'm looking for is a way to lose weight even faster. Unless you've discovered a way to eat negative calorie foods?

I burn around 500kcal running 30 min hills around my town little bit over 5k.
Sucked at first but now I fucking love it. Not low intensity though.

Set yourself on fire. There is literally no way to burn calories faster.

get a treadmill desk, play an mmo, only play when walking. burn 1000's of calories. ez

not everybody is a nerd who likes that gay bullshit

Walk. I cut 19lbs of fat just by lifting and walking each day. Set a daily goal of about 9-10k steps which is about 450-480kcal per day burned.

>Those same Concept2 rowing machines in every gym I've ever been to
