I am looking to burn calories, as many as I can in the least amount of time. It seems the elliptical machines are the best for me right now and the bikes would be the worst, with the stair steppers and treadmills in the middle. Does anyone know which machine will give me the biggest bang for my buck?

    depending what you're doing the treadmill will give the most if you're running, if not then the elliptical, I dont bother with the bike I like maximum calorie burn for my efforts

    how about a jump rope with a weighted handle, or a medicine ball. if you want to maximize the bang for your buck pick up a medicine ball, or a kettlebell, and keep it moving as fast as you can control it. strength training and cardio in one foul swoop.

    I also love doing 2km on the rowing machine. It really tones my arms up and gives me a break from working my legs like other machines do. Try incorporating the rowing machine into your workout its worth it!
