Treadmill
Contents
What makes the treadmill so effective is that it forces you to sustain high-intensity movements during the entire workout, and this keeps your heart pumping and burns a lot of calories. Because you’re essentially “revving” your heart rate throughout an interval, it means you’re going to burn fat during and after your workouts as your body uses energy even after you’ve finished the session. It’s called post-exercise oxygen consumption (or after-burn effect).
You probably won’t need to sustain high-intensity sessions every day. Even though it’s good for burning fat, keeping your heart rate high for extended periods can wear down your body. For the best results, alternate between moderate speeds and raise the intensity for about 3 minutes on each interval, and increase the intensity to about 8. Once you get to 8 you can hold each interval for 5 minutes and then gradually reduce the intensity to moderate.

Stair climber
A stair climber or step-mill also requires you to stand and use a lot of energy throughout each session; that makes it a highly effective fat-burning machine. It also targets your lower body as well, and when you keep up the workout for a few minutes you start to feel the effect in your butt, quads, and hamstrings. When you climb a stair, you basically target the large muscle groups of the leg with each lunge pattern; and by putting all your body weight on one leg at a time, you generate a lot of energy.
Apart from expending high amounts of energy while using the machine, working your leg muscles can also improve your basal metabolic rate. These lower-body muscles are big and use a lot of energy even at rest. If you keep your posture right during each session, your core will also get a decent workout as it struggles to keep you balanced.
For the best results, start by doing short intervals of about 2 minutes, alternating between high and moderate speeds. Also, make sure you hit the stair with your entire foot, and don’t use the arm rails for support while working out.

Rowing machine
Rowing machines are great for strengthening your arms, legs, and core, and they raise your heart rate significantly throughout each interval, allowing you to burn significant amounts of calories (and the best part is you do this without even standing up). Because a rowing machine gives your whole body a workout at the same time, energy expenditure is extremely high.
It challenges the user to use more power and be more efficient. Remember, a rowing machine uses water or wind to build resistance, and when you try to force your way through the strokes it only gets harder. However, the key to gaining strength and burning fat is to use it the right way. Here’s how to use a rowing machine:
a) Seat right at the front of the machine with both legs bent, and take the handle on both hands, leaning forward slightly.
b) Push back with your legs and follow through with your arms, and pull the handle as far back as possible, while pushing out your chest. Pause for a beat.
c) Straighten your arms out and pull back your legs to start again, and repeat.
The longer you do it the more control you will have over the movements. Remember, if you’re speeding, it means you’re probably not using a lot of power (or proper form). An effective rower looks like they’re moving slow, with each stroke deliberate and powerful, so they don’t need to rush.

Fan bike
When you get a chance to browse through our products section, you’ll find plenty of fitness equipment for sale; and for anybody looking to burn more fat, a fan bike is definitely a good choice, and one of the most intense cardio machines you can buy today. It looks a lot like a stationary bike, but it doesn’t have a front wheel; instead, it has a fan and two very high handlebars. To use a fan bike, both arms and legs have to move in a certain rhythmic fashion, and because you’re using more energy with each full peddle, you obviously burn more fat than you would on a typical stationary bike.
Like a rowing machine, these bikes rely on wind resistance – and they are designed in a way that forces the user to generate a strong, effective rhythm. Pedaling harder only makes the workout even more challenging.
It’s an intense exercise machine that will help you shed weight and build a lot of power. For the best results, start slowly with 2 minutes of moderate pedaling and work your way up to 5 minutes of intense workouts. Keep your rest time short to maximize fat-burning.

Elliptical trainer
These machines can help you burn fat; however, the amount of fat you lose will largely depend on how much energy you use during your workout. It’s quite easy to cheat on an elliptical machine because once it gets moving, the energy generated by all the moving parts can make it easy to keep going; which is bad for you because then you won’t exert the energy needed to burn calories.
To avoid this sneaky cheat, get a machine with high-resistance, and focus on getting an intense workout rather than building speed. You can look through our catalog for plenty of elliptical trainers and other fitness equipment for sale. You can also get one that has handles and requires the user to pump their arms as they run. It’s more effective as it engages the upper body muscles and makes it easier to burn more fat per session.
