what exercise is best for burning calories?
Question:
Answers:
Walking is good if you are really heavy, just pick out 5 days a week and walk for about 30 minutes a day. Try to make it brisk. If you have access to any place with a lot of stairs, do some stair climbers, those are great at burning calories. And of course, you burn calories from just living through your basal metabolic rate. You can probably start off taking a lot of weight off by just eating healthy. Eat plenty of protein and fiber. Try to avoid excessive simple carbs such as regular sugars. Don't drink pop. Drink skim milk. Avoid anything fatty or deep fried. Start look at nutrition labels and judging what you eat. Try eating 500 calories less than what you usually do, if you do that, then you could lose up to 1-2lbs per week. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water. I hope this helps, and good luck!

walking
exercising NOT eating so damn much, it works.
running burns about 100 calories per mile. The heavier you are the more calories you'll burn.
Brisk walking burns about the same calories as slow jogging and way less impact, or use an eliptical trainer or bike (any type) for the same effect.
Anything that gets your heart rate up is good for burning calories. Riding a bike, walking, swimming, etc.

If you are healthy....stick to walking the stairs (up and down)..

What exercise is best for burning calories?
Running.
You said your shoulder and lower back hurts - meaning your upper body is weak. So you need to build your strength up there. Any exercise you do have to be complimented with a good upper strength training workout. Start with 1 or 2 pounds (8 reps in 1 or 2 sets.) In about a year, you should be able to lift 8 or 10 pounds and do about 15 reps.
Since you can't run now, yeah cycling is good. As you gain strength in your upper body, slowly start to ease to walking, then jogging because this burns more calories. Also buy a good yoga or Pilates tape/dvd to compliment with your strength training.
Cross trainer, also known as elliptical.
rollerblading! its easy on the joints, not sure if it will help with the top heavy thing. Its equal to the amount of calories burned running but with the side to side motion rather then pounding up and down on the hard pavement.. I love it, been doing it since highschool and 10 years later im still the same weight
Try Pilates, it's low impact and no moving around too fast, i'm the same as you and it's helped me get stronger and build muscle and I lost 13 lbs in the last couple of months :)

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
