    What are some of the big burning calorie cardio machines? I know running on a treadmill is one and i hear that the stair master is a great one too, what are some others?

      Stairmaster is good. But with cardio, it's really the same across the board if you keep up a good pace and keep it going for a significant amount of time.

      Don't trust the calories burned it displays though. Or the MFP calories burned for that matter. Get a HRM.

      There's an Incline Trainer out by NordicTrack. I know about it because Jillian Michaels promotes it. It's supposed to burn 5x more calories than a regular treadmill!

      I might even buy it, but I'm focused on other fitness activities right now. You could try going to Sports Authority or a sports-related-place and try it. Doubtful it's at a gym though, it's not at mine :(

      By far the machine I burn the most calories on is the Cybex Arc Trainer....I think that may be what people are referring to as the "mountain climber" machine. To me, it's like what would happen if the eliptical and the stairmaster had a baby. =)

      Good luck!

      It's more about the effort than it is the exercise. Crank up the intensity and anything can/will burn cals.

      That said, something that is harder for you is generally easier to get high burns from.

      The versa climber is really tough and great for burning calories. Also the erg (rowing machine) is a great workout but its only really effective if you have a good sense of the correct technique.

      If you look at the small print in the commercial (if it's the one I'm thinking of), they're comparing using that machine at its full incline and at a greater speed to a treadmill at no incline at lesser speed. Yeah, you'll burn more calories, but it's not quite as simple as "just walk[ing]," as the commercial claims.

      Planet Fitness is cheap and has the cybex arc trainer. It's great b/c you can adjust the incline and resistance to have a super hard workout.

      I agree that it is the intensity of the workout, as long as your eating
      Right and moving your body you will achieve :-)
      Goodluck!!!

      I am a fan of the old rowing machine. I was always on this in college.

      Cybex ARC trainer by far is the best for big burns. I do 1 hour every morning with the resistance at 100% the max and at a 3 incline. I'm soaking wet when done and burn 1200 calories. On good days around 1250 calories and today was 1171 calories. I do this at the YMCA and the trainers said keep doing what I'm doing. I'm 50 years old and proud of what I do on this machine. Scott
