Exercises for weight loss

Betrbleave

What cardiovascular or muscular exercises are great for weight loss? I'm pretty set on the elliptical because it looses calories fast but it doesnt hurt anymore, I'm pretty use to it. I'm not big on running. Would running be better? I'm also starting to do better on the stair climber. What exercises do you do? and how much?

Running, jogging, swimming, hiking, walking, pocket pool...
Moving is exercise. Creating calorie deficits is what you want to do.
