the BEST cardio machines…

By Sean Nalewanyj

———————————————————————-|

Set foot in any traditional gym across the country and you’ll find an endless array of different cardio machines… from treadmills to stationary bikes to stairclimbers to ellipticals.

A well structured cardio program obviously plays an important
role in any effective fat burning workout plan… but which
cardio machines are best and what criteria should we use to
determine which machines to focus on?

It need not be a complicated process, but here are the 2 main
factors that I would suggest looking out for when deciding which
machines to include in your program…

1) The machine should not require very much skill to use.
In other words, stick to cardio machines that are simplistic and
mechanical in nature. Your goal during a cardio session is not to
aimlessly slave away for a marathon session lasting an hour or
more, but rather to keep the session short, concise and highly
intensive.

For this reason, you don’t want to have to divert your focus
onto balancing yourself on the machine or maintaining a specific
form throughout the workout.

Instead, you should pick a cardio exercise that is basic and
straightforward to execute so that the majority of your focus can
be placed on generating a high level of intensity.

2) The machine should minimize the risk of injury. One of your primary goals when it comes to both weight training and cardiovascular exercise is to keep your joints and connective
tissues strong and healthy at all times.

For this reason, you should try to stick to machines that
produce low impact on your joints and that also don’t aggravate
any existing injuries you may have.

Experiment with different machines to see how they feel for you.
If any specific machine causes you discomfort, make sure to steer
clear of it.

Here are a few of the machines I specifically recommend using
based on the above criteria…

***Upright Stationary Bike
This machine is extremely straightforward to use and will allow
you to place all of your focus on generating a high level of
intensity without having to worry about your form.

It is also a very low impact exercise and will keep the stress
off of your joints. Stationary bikes are also easily programmable
and are ideal when performing interval-style training, which is
the kind that I most highly recommend.

***Recumbent Bike
This is the same as a stationary bike, only your body is in a
seated position. The seated position will take some of the stress
off of your lower back, which is a nice advantage for those who
have previous lower back problems.

***Treadmill
Another great choice when implementing an interval-style of
training. Treadmills are a great alternative to running outdoors,
because the platforms are designed to produce less impact on the
joints. If you want to increase the difficulty you can also raise
the platform up on an incline.

***Stairclimber
A stairclimber can be used by anyone from beginners to advanced.
It is another low impact movement and allows you to keep the
majority of your focus on putting forth a hard effort. Make sure
to avoid leaning on the handle bars as this will reduce the
intensity of the workout.

Hopefully this has helped you understand which cardio machines
are the safest and most effective fat burning solutions to
include in your program.
