I was just wondering what people favourite cardio machines are? I use the cross trainer and treadmill at the gym, i was using the bike but the trainer in the gym told me not to bother with the bike as it is no as effective as the others..


what id really like to know too is what machines do your find most effective for weight loss too?

    Yeah, me too. It's the *best* place in the gym to dance your azz off! lol.


    And jumping jacks and assorted gymnastics are also encouraged.

    I find I get the best burn from the elliptical, followed by the bike, and then the treadmill.

    I use the elliptical and sometimes the rowing machine. I love to run but can't stand the treadmill... it's not the same stride and it drives me nuts.

    I'm a big fan of the adaptive motion trainer. It's like a mix of a stair climber and an elliptical. I like it because you can use it either way and you can go forward or backwards with any stopping/jerking motion. The first time I tried using it, I couldn't do it for more than a few seconds. Then I made it all the way up to doing it for 60 minutes non stop!

    I think treadmill is right up there, but I personally prefer the elliptical.

    Dislike the treadmill but when there's no guides to run with you..I'll have a run on the treadmill and then use the rower, I'd love to have a Speedstroke available to me more than just in the summer but...I don't have the money for it and it does take up some space so the Concept2 will have to do...

    The rowing machines at my gym have a little fish video game and you have to row at different speeds at different intervals to keep your fish from getting eaten and to feed it. So... that.
