I'm talking weight loss. I was at the gym today and if I was on the tredmill it only burns 100 calories per mile. The elliptical burns 250 calories per mile and the exercise bike burns 100 calories every 5 miles. So from what it looks like, the elliptical is the best.
But for how long and how fast will you notice results?
And are there any more machines that give faster results?
Answer
You can't trust the calorimeters on the equipment for a variety of reasons and it doesn't matter anyway. If you're trying to burn calories with no exercise-related fitness goals, then you can walk or run or climb stairs or swim or cycle or dance or do anything that forces you to do significant mechanical work (expend energy). That means just do anything you enjoy, mix it up, and have fun.
If, however, you just love the equipment at your gym, you'll have to estimate your energy output assuming you need to know that for some reason. Here's how to do that.
Your daily caloric expenditure is the sum or total of the following three categories of energy expenditure. BMR (or RMR), your normal daily activities, and your extraordinary activities. Here's how to calculate them.
BMR (the energy required to sustain your life)
1. Go here--> http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php and click on the "BMR & RMR Calculator" link.
2. Enter your info in all four fields and click the calculate button
Your BMR is shown in red.
NORMAL DAILY ACTIVITY LEVEL (chores, daily activities)
3. In the chart below BMR, select the appropriate row for your activity level (from Sedentary to Extremely Active)
4. Read your caloric expenditure in red in the selected row and RMR or BMR column.
Your BMR or RMR plus your approximate daily activity burn is shown in red.
EXTRAORDINARY ACTIVITIES (occasional sports, weekend activities, workouts, etc)
5. Return to the "home" page or go here (again) --> http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php and click on the "Activity Calculator" link in the body of the text.
6. Enter the required data in the fields (weight, time, speed, or distance)
7. Find your activity using the alphabetic listing or the search box.
8. Click on the activity you choose
9. Click the Calculate button.
Your total caloric expenditure for the activity is shown in red. Note, that each time you click on an activity or the calculate button, the total will increase by the amount of the activity you have selected. This allows you to maintain a running total for several activities. You can add this total to your total from 4. above for the grand total for the day. Be careful to not click more than you intend to or your total will be erroneously increased. You can use the "Clear" button to set your total to zero.
If you're dieting, you should eat your BMR in calories so you don't need to concern yourself with energy output. As long as you're intake is at your BMR, you'll have plenty of food for nutrition and all of your activity will burn fat and you don't need to know what that is.

Good luck and good health!!
