Yes, maybe too fast: Yes, since you burn calories all day + night even when you are not working out. Unless you are a petite female you will need more calories to sustain such heavy workouts. Slow and steady wins the race. But you can add some weightlifting to boost metabolism, and the extra muscle will burn even more calories all day. Check the lose it app which calculates the diet-exercise balance quite well.

Aerobics: Calories burned depends on your size, fitness level type and intensity of activity. In general the greatest caloric consumption will be doing earobic activities involving all 4 limbs such as aerobic dance skipping rope and marshal arts related activities. Before tring to burn large amounts of calories at once be sure you are fit enough to tolerate the activity.

Cross country sking: Cross-country skiing is known as the highest intensity work-out. Otherwise, interval training burns a lot of calories. There are no easy ways to burn lots of calories so don't believe anyone that tells you otherwise and tries to sell you something. Dancing like zumba may be the funnest way to burn calories.
