Fitness Equipment Elliptical Machines
Which one of these cardio equipment burns the most fat in the same amount of time?
1. Cross trainers
2. Elliptical machines
3. Stair climbers
4. Bikes
5. Treadmills
The reason I ask is because I just got a great deal in the mail for a fitness club membership and I’m seriously thinking about joining. I’m not overweight, but I do have a little fat … a little … to lose around the belly area. I want to have my six pack showing by hopefully August. I checked out the website of the club and this is the equipment it listed for cardio exercises.
By the way, I don’t even know what a cross trainer is. If you can paint a picture for me, that’d be great.
So, which one burns the most fat? Thanks!
After training for years and trialing different machines, as far as cardio workouts go, the stair climbers and bikes do the most burnout for me. The treadmills are good, but they only workout the lower parts mainly. The elliptical and cross trainers can be use-full to a degree but they attack mainly the exterior muscle groups only. For a proper ab workout to tighten your stomach muscles, stair climbers and bikes are usually the ones that get left behind because people don’t think they are training the right muscle group. Exercising in combination with other muscle group helps a lot easier than just working one. Use resistance exercises and read up on exercise programs like Body for Life which can give and indication on how, not only to exercise properly, but to eat properly too. Hope this helps……
Edit:
A cross trainer/elliptical trainer is one where you place your feet onto pads and you hold onto polls with your hands, like you were riding a set of skis on the snow, and you basically are running with these pads and the polls are moving in unison with each other. (That’s the best picture I can paint of what it is, otherwise look up on eBay for a cross trainer/elliptical trainer and they will show you pictures). Hope this added info helps……
