WHATS THE BEST MACHINE FOR A CARDIO WORKOUT?
For maximum kilojoule burn, hog the treadmill. Dublin City University researchers found it took men an average of 14 minutes to burn 840 kilojoules on the treadmill, 16 minutes on the Nordic skier, 21 on the rowing machine, 27 on the exercise bike and 29 on the Healthrider (a cross between an exercise bike and a seesaw). “By supporting your whole bodyweight and working your major muscle groups you expend the most energy,” says Gargrave.
