 First question is from Vidal F3. I want to get a machine for cardio between the treadmill elliptical Rower or bike what machine would be the most beneficial for workouts hit and overall health? Oh, if you well if the choice soon if the choice is between those In my opinion the treadmill is the is the best option. It's the most versatile Walking running you could practice your technique and form on them It's very functional. It's the easiest to do it lower intensities for a lot of people You know if you need to get on in there and just walk It's there's a reason why it's the most popular piece of cardio equipment. It's existed forever And it's always in all of them. I don't have an issue with ellipticals rowers or bikes the Necessarily, but the like a rower I think requires more skill Requires a little bit better stability ellipticals are okay But you're you're you're limited you can't do you can only do the elliptical whereas on a treadmill There's a lot of different things you can do if you want to get you know kind of created But at the end of the day The one that you feel most comfortable with is probably gonna be fine because really what you're training unless you're trained specifically for a Sport like biking rowing running You're just strengthening your cardiovascular system in which case you could do that with all of those Yeah, if you're looking at it in terms of the mechanics of walking running jogging and all that You know then a treadmill treadmill obviously is gonna make sense with that out of all of them But in terms of what I look for out of like a piece of cardio equipment is you know How how like involved I can get my lower body my upper body like everything? Stimulated by it so I tend to choose something like the rower or the bike like the assault bike where I can actually rip The handles and you know really get to my upper body Engaged as well. Just I just I can't stand To me it just feels like I'm a hamster on a wheel With with the treadmill and it's just like a slow death. I'd rather be outside, you know hiking or doing hills but for your average person I think a treadmill with the with the ability for it to incline I think it's fantastic option. I can actually make a case for each one of these There's there's a there's a person that this is that's why the answer is always depends with us, right? Yeah, because somebody and I've if I had to put one in last place I would put the bike unless you say the assault bike like Justin just said if you put a salt bike and replace a bike I can make a case for each one of those Your simple case you just made for the site I mean the second the assault bike too is I think it they've already done studies on the the ability to reach like your Your max heart rate and burn the most of calories real quickly, right? It's up it's up there with one of the best when it comes to it when we're talking about just straight burns So there's the case for that, right? Rower in my opinion is probably one of the healthiest things someone could learn to do now because of the point that Sal made The learning curve on it is probably the highest out of all those, right? You're getting on a bike very easy getting on a treadmill very easy elliptical even easier Rowing most technical but because it's most technical probably has the the greatest advantage for seeing the most return from it Right like I it's gonna if you learn to do it Well, you're gonna get great core strength from there you get leg drive from there You're doing retracting and working the posterior train So your back is getting involved which we as trainers know that working on the posterior chain is so important for most clients So I can make a ton of value for the road treadmill Why I can make the case the same reason why Sal did you get it's probably the most versatile You can do the most things on it as far as walking running skipping uphill flat even you can do some treadmills downhill So I think that that one is the most versatile Elliptical though if I have a client who is got joint issues if you have a lot of knee pain or hip pain That is the lowest impact that one in the bike or the lowest impact out of all those So it's probably the healthiest way and you are moving ellipticals are moving your arms and your legs So it actually when you measure the calorie burning comparison to a lot of things it may seem easier, but you I remember when I The body bug first came out. I actually wore it and then I did all of these different Cardio modalities to see like how the expenditure and the one I was most surprised and was elliptical elliptical was right up there with the Treadmill with the most amount of calories burn for the same amount of time that I that I was on it So I can see a lot of value there So it really depends on the person none of them none of them are wrong And like Sal said the main thing that you're using it for unless it's very sport specific for what you're trying to accomplish Is to train the heart and you could do that doing jumping jacks You can do that jogging outside. You can do that with warrior ropes running in place Yeah, and and the truth is no matter which one you choose if you do it every single day Consistently for the same time the same intensity at some point the body will get very adapted to it And then the main thing that you're trying to accomplish from it as far as you know You're your cardiovascular Endurance is going to start to diminish unless you start to vary change it or increase time or intensity on it I mean, but you know general activity is just good for you general daily activity is just healthy So even if you're doing it and you're not necessarily getting any more Cardio gains or fat loss gain so which one which one will you do the most right? Yeah That's that the truth is yeah, and I like to row row right So here's why I like to treadmill for me This is a me speaking just for myself with the treadmill I could and I used to do this I in my personal training studio We had treadmills and we had ellipticals in there I had a few of them and what I would do oftentimes is when I was working Either on my phone working or I'm writing something or I want to read something I could multitask easier with the treadmill than I could with like an elliptical Or a definitely a rower because a rower requires your hands I could put the book up on the Platform whatever the screen for the treadmill and I would just do a slow walk So rather than just sitting and reading and believe it or not for someone like me That movement actually helped me stay focused I would actually absorb more of what I was reading but I would walk at a slow pace It would be like you know with a three or whatever and I'd put the book up on the on the platform And I would just read and I'd be there for 45 minutes just to be active I didn't even mention the jump rope But that's my go-to mainly because like the timing of it and the snap and the power that is a great you know way to to translate to You know athletic moves and just be more explosive And it's just like a repetitive pattern that you're trained in your body to you know respond and get that recoil really quick And it requires a lot of skill. I mean there's no doubt about that Like you have to really work your way through that so you can get to the timing and the and the body position and you know Where when and where you need to like add your your bits of inflection, so It's definitely something though that I always go back to that to make sure that I have that skill
