Low impact - If taking it easy on your joints is a top priority, look for a machine that offers a smooth ride and doesn’t require you to lift your feet. On a treadmill, for instance, you’ll be constantly putting pressure on your knees as you walk or run on the moving platform. Some treadmills do offer extra shock absorption, but a machine such as an elliptical or stationary bike that doesn’t require you to bring your feet off the pedals at all is even safer.
Major calorie burn - Some cardio equipment is tops when it comes to a calorie-blasting workout session. Look for equipment that requires you to use more muscle groups. A cross-trainer with moving handles works your upper and lower body at the same time, which can increase calorie burn significantly. If a treadmill is your preference, look for one that offers a good range of speeds, as well as a ramp that can be set to at least a 10 percent incline. Higher incline + faster speed = more calories burned. Even a stationary bike can offer a killer workout, as long as it offers varying levels of resistance. A bike that allows you to stand and ride is essential, and high resistance is often what allows this.
