    Welcome!

    Ultimately, the best workout is one which A) you actually do and B) one which does not cause injury. If you enjoy one type of workout and keep at it without missing days, no matter what it is, it will give more benefits than a different workout which you hate and thus either find excuses to avoid doing or do but give only a half-hearted effort.

    So be willing to try new things, from sports to weightlifting to assorted cardio to rock climbing to ballroom dancing to martial arts to hiking in nature and so on. You never know when something will spark a fire inside.

    For me, elliptical all the way. I lost 20lbs in the first half of the year by cutting the calories and running on the elliptical 4 to 5 days a week, for 45min-1hr, depending on how long the Downton Abbey episode was ;)
