You want to have a high cadence 70-90 rpm's with just enough resistance to get your breathing to the point where you can still talk but not sing. Once you reach that level you want to keep it up as long as you can. It can take an hour to burn 500 calories depending on how hard you are ridding. Take it easy the first 10 min until you get warmed up and cool down the same way.

Do expect too much at first, the more you ride the stronger you get and the more calories you burn even when you are not ridding.
 
Usually when I'm on mine, it will tell me how many calories I've burned. It usually takes me about 20-30 min. to burn 100 cal., depending on how fast I peddle.
