    Whichever machine you enjoy the most.

    Beware, though, gym machine way overestimate calories burned, as does the MFP. Just be sure to eat only approximately 75% of your exercise calories back.

    truth.

    also, even though it's not at the gym.. table push-aways are an even easier method.

    Any reason you wouldn't just hop on a bike or go for a run outside? Weather permitting of course.

    I only use the dreadmill at the gym and only because its as hot as hell outside. I have started using the rowing machine but found it to be quite boring. I find all cardio equipment boring to tell the truth.
