This one is easy to answer. The elliptical trainer is by far the best cardio machine for weight loss.
Here is why:
1) It is an upright form of exercise, so it burns a lot of calories. When using an elliptical trainer, you are supporting your own body weight. This burns more calories than if your weight is supported, as it is on a bicycle.
2) It is very low impact and easy on the joints. This is important for my older clients and those with orthopedic concerns.
3) There are inexpensive home models available. Exercising outdoors is great. I do it as much as possible. However, rain, snow and cold can sometimes keep you inside. Consistency is key when it comes to cardio. Having a home elliptical makes it easy to hit your cardio goals no matter what the weather is doing.
