Does this seem acurate, burn 1000 calories in 10 minutes?

By selecting one of the 4 options you will burn 100 calories, so is it possible to burn 1000 calories in 10 minutes?

Think it says 100 calories in 10 minutes, so 1000 calories is 100 minutes.

But to answer your question, sure. If you weighed 400 pounds and could run 3 miles in 10 minutes. (using http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links/calculators/calorie_calculator.htm)

I just can't run on a treadmill, I lack some form of coordination that allows that. I do walk at 3-3.5MPH at the max incline.

Considering it's extremely difficult to burn 1000 calories in an hour, I'd say no. It's not possible.

That site is saying you have to do all four options, which will burn approximately 100 calories, then do that four more times, which will burn a total of 500 calories. So your total workout would look like this:

4mph @ 5% for 5 minutes
6mph @ 2% for 3 minutes
7mph @ 2% for 1 minute
3mph @ 10% for 1 minute (set 1 - 100 calories)
4mph @ 5% for 5 minutes
6mph @ 2% for 3 minutes
7mph @ 2% for 1 minute
3mph @ 10% for 1 minute (set 2 - 100 calories again, so 200 total)
4mph @ 5% for 5 minutes
6mph @ 2% for 3 minutes
7mph @ 2% for 1 minute
3mph @ 10% for 1 minute (set 3 - 100 calories again, so 300 total)
4mph @ 5% for 5 minutes
6mph @ 2% for 3 minutes
7mph @ 2% for 1 minute
3mph @ 10% for 1 minute (set 4 - 100 calories again so 400 total)
4mph @ 5% for 5 minutes
6mph @ 2% for 3 minutes
7mph @ 2% for 1 minute
3mph @ 10% for 1 minute (set 5 - 100 calories again so 500 total)

This reminds me of my nordic track eliptical's display that tells me I burn 600 calories in my 30 minute "run" that I barely break a sweat on.

Getting efficient is a bastard 😉
