Most gyms, big and small, have traditional cardiovascular equipment that includes treadmills, eliptical machines, and stationary bikes. Assuming you're working each machine at the same rate of perceived exertion, which will give you the biggest calorie burn?
Answer? Working out on either the treadmill or eliptical will give you the greatest caloric burn because as a general rule, weight-bearing exercises use more calories as they activate more of the major leg muscles.
However, if you prefer the stationary bike or have no other option, simply go 5 to 10 minutes longer than you would on the treadmill or eliptical and you'll burn the same total calories!
