If you’re looking for maximum results in the least amount of time, you’ll want to know how your favourite exercise machine measures up.
The calorie burn displayed on the console of your cardio machine is an estimate only. Some manufacturers have been accused of inflating the caloric expenditure of their products. The only way to provide an accurate assessment of calories burned is by measuring heart rate and oxygen consumption, which aren’t options for most exercisers at the local gym.
Sixteen healthy adults between 18-25 years of age put 10 different cardio machines to the test. The exercise protocol consisted of a three-minute warmup followed by three increases in intensity every five minutes, transitioning from “light” to “somewhat hard” to “hard,” with no break between speed intervals. A three-minute cooldown marked the end of the workout.
These results don’t mean you should choose the treadmill or stepmill over the elliptical, upright bike or rower. Calorie burn is only one of the features to consider when choosing a cardio machine. If you can’t last 30 minutes on the treadmill but can put in a sweaty 40-minute workout on the bike, why would you change it up? Chances are your 40-minute cycling workout is burning more calories than 20 miserable minutes on the treadmill.
