Looking to drop some of that holiday weight with a really effective piece of fitness equipment? The great news is that the fitness industry has changed so much that you have several choices beyond just the standard treadmill or elliptical.
There are actually machines that can help you burn calories at an accelerated rate – and in less time. So you don’t have to spend hours sweating it out on the treadmill or elliptical.
To help you in your quest, I’ve listed some of the best fitness equipment for 2016 that will burn calories faster. Each one of these machines uses something a bit different to help engage more muscles – which ramps up the calorie burn.
So you’ll be sliding into that little black dress in no time!
#1 Bowflex Max
The Bowflex Max is a fairly new type of fitness equipment – but already one of the best-selling machines on the market. It’s a hybrid elliptical-stair climber that can help you burn 2.5 times more calories than an elliptical or stair climber.
In fact, Bowflex trial users have burned up to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Compare this to about 150 for 30 minutes on the treadmill and you’ll see that it makes quite a difference!
Why exactly does it burn the fat faster? Well, the design of the Bowflex Max uses both lower body and upper body muscles at the same time. In fact, according to testing in the Bowflex labs, the Max engaged up to 80% more upper and core body muscles than elliptical machines.
Also, the Max trainer comes with a pre-designed high intensity workout that is specially designed to have you burning maximum calories during – and even after your workout.
But you won’t be working out for hours – the high intensity workout is only 14 minutes! So if you’re too busy to spend hours working out – but still want fast weight loss results, the Max is worth considering.
#2 Incline Trainer Treadmill
The incline trainer is similar to a treadmill. The real difference is that instead of a 10 – 15% maximum incline, you get up to 40% incline. And some models even give you decline as well.
Incline walking incinerates calories – mainly because it recruits more of the lower body leg muscles (which are calorie hogs). For instance, according to the manufacturer, you can burn up to 5 times more calories with an incline trainer than with a standard treadmill.
The incline trainer gets results so quickly that several contestants on the TV Show “The Biggest Loser” used them during the show to take weight off quickly.
Plus for those days you’re just not up to walking at high inclines – you can just use the incline trainer as a treadmill, no worries.
The new incline trainers also come with a lot of entertainment options this year like built-in web browsers, iPod docks and HD workout videos.
If you’re looking for fast results – and you prefer to walk it out, an incline trainer is worth considering.
#3 Treadclimber
The Treadclimber is similar to the high incline treadmill in that it uses high incline walking to recruit more leg muscles and help you burn fat ultra quickly.
However unlike the incline trainer, the Treadclimber uses 2 smaller treadbelts that move up to meet your feet as you walk. A further advantage to this is that it gives you a very low impact workout.
So if you tend to suffer with shin splints or back or knees problems, this is a great option.
According to the manufacturer you can burn up to 2.5 times more calories than walking on a treadmill. And to get you started on the right track, you also get a Free weight loss program with each Treadclimber.
The new 2016 Treadclimbers also come with online connectivity that let you track your workout results and set new goals.
The only downside to the Treadclimber is that you can’t run on it like you can the incline trainer. But if you just want to get a slim, trim body just by walking, it’s definitely worth considering.
So those are 3 of the best exercise machines to burn more calories – and lose weight in less time. Take your time, do your research and choose a machine that gets you really excited. And then start planning your new slimmer wardrobe!
