Which machine burns more calories ? The never ending question can be answered as follows .. Normally the two top machines that compete for this position are the treadmill and the elliptical machine and the rower can be added here as well. The truth is the machine won't burn more or less calories it's your heartrate that will decide that. The treadmills and elliptical machines both have resistance so they can get your heartrate up to the proper levels...."Because elliptical trainers DO work the upper and lower body simultaneously, the heart rate climbs more quickly. Thus, less time is required to achieve more results. The amount of energy expended is optimized. As the legs are being worked, the back, shoulders, chest, biceps, and triceps are also working ...making it possible to burn more calories in less time. (An optimal workout need only be about 20-30 minutes long.)" The treadmill wil burn more if you're are running with a slight incline, at (least 1) so that you are propelling yourself forward.If you really want kick ass fat loss, or to improve stamina do High Intense Interval TRaining (HIIT) Basically, you sprint for 30 seconds and speedwalk/jog for 60 seconds. rinse and repeat for 20 minutes and that is the end of your workout. if you can even think of doing another minute, you need to go faster next time  One machine is not really better than the other. It is the intensity of the user that will determine your caloric burn. The main thing is to enjoy your workout. Your machine also has to be comfortable for you. If you have bad knees and a bad back than the elliptical machine will be a better bet. All in all high intensity training will do the job... |
