machines for cardio - whats the best?

[mariano404]

After doing a very good bulking season, I'm going to start shedding some extra pounds.

I actually didnt gain much fat while bulking, when I resumed lifting after years of inactivity I had already the extra lugagge.

What piece of equipment do you guys recommend / use to do cardio in the morning??

I like those eliptical trainers they are good.

i only ever use the treadmill , a brisk walk for a good 45 to an hour will get you shredded in no time in conjunction with a clean diet

I bought a wind-trainer for my bike - works well, good fatburning workout first thing before brekkie. They're a frame for the rear wheel, with a variable resistance. Hard work flat-out...

This is the sort of thing I mean:

I'd have to say the elliptical trainers are probably one of the best.

You're using your upper & lower body & it's not as jarring on the knees as running.

I like the trainers too. Get sick of walking. But will always consider the treadmill if it gives me a better viewing position of the females in the room. :pfft:

I reckon pick one that you like - at least you will do it ! Make that your main form of cardio - and then add a bit of variety around it.

I am hopeless on those flash machines which require both arms and legs to be moving in some form of coordinated flow at the same time - especially first thing in the morning. I just jump on the treadmill - at least I am awake enough to walk.

The bike can also be good for a quick catch up with the magazine reading.

personally to keep your sanity. i suggest that you mix it up. 20 mins each. cycle, stpper, cross trainer.
