Which machine is the best cardio?

Question

I’m 5’2 125 pounds with a goal weight of 115
I don’t have much time to work out.  I only have about 45 mins 3-4 times a week so I am trying to make the most of my short time.  
Right now I do the treadmill for 15 mins, at a speed of 5.3.  It’s definitely really hard for me, I’m not in great shape and have to stop around 7/8 mins and walk for a minute or two.  But I am jogging the rest of the time 
Then I go on the stair climber for 15 mins, and alternate between level 7-10.  Also really hard for me lol 
Then I repeat the treadmill. (I can’t stay on the machine too long that’s why I go back and forth. 
I read the ARC and elliptical burn more calories than the stair climber and treadmill.  Does anyone know if this is true? I only question it because when I go on the elliptical and the arc and I don’t even feel like I worked out.  I feel like I am just casually chillin lol.  When I run or do the stair master I feel like I got a really good workout in , like I really push myself.  But if I can burn more on the elliptical, I’d rather just do that 
**I am dieting also**

Answer

I don’t think the elliptical burns more from what I remember. I would skip some of the cardio and do some strength training though if I were you

Answer

Cardio is fantastic for your system, but it should never be relied upon to lose weight. The majority of weight loss is achieved in the kitchen! Keeping your overall activity levels up all day is far more beneficial than going full throttle on whatever type of cardio machine you like
For 30 minutes.

Answer

Strength training is superior to cardio for losing body fat

Answer

The way I like thinking about it is yes cardio might make you look smaller but your body fat percentage ratio will still be the same so you'll still have the same fat in the same places even though it maybe less... Add a leg day and arm day and i feel you will see alot of improvement quickly before hitting hitting a plateau again! I especially like leg/butt workouts for a really toned look ☺️

I’ve lost a bunch of weight since I started running on the treadmill back in March/April. I was about 145lbs at 5’4” and now I’m 137lbs but I’m also 38 weeks +3 days pregnant 🤰 Check out IBX Running on YouTube!

Answer

Incline treadmill at a constant pace

Answer

I would say weight lifting increases your bmr and burns more calories long term.
Doing HIIT IS Great cardio. Walking is considered one of the best fat loss exercises because the heart rate isn't that high and you are actually tapping into your fat stores rather than other energy sources. So maybe focus on weights when you are at the gym and a machine or two you like than on non gym days just plan to go on an hour walk.

Answer

I know you didn’t ask, but when I was trying to lose weight I asked a personal Trainer friend of mine for advice. She said , you need cardio a couple days a week and at least 20-30 minutes of any kind of strength training every other day. So squats, sit ups, push ups, ANYTHING . The cardio will make you in shape & help lose weight but you will not be toned or “tight” without the muscle building

Answer

Without a doubt the elliptical. You burn WAY more calories than on a treadmill, but also ellipticals are easier on your body than a treadmill. Ellipticals are also full body workout while running is not a full body workout and only impacts certain muscle groups. The elliptical stimulates every muscle group

Answer

I meant to hit stair climber. For losing weight it’s best to do intervals. Spike your heart rate and let it come down.
