*Which is your favorite piece of cardio equipment?*

Just look at which is used the least in the gym and choose that one, it will be the hardest believe me.

My 3 are a treadmill, C2 rower, and a rogue echo bike. Only issue with treadmills these days is that they’re not built to last. I keep blowing my motor and it only has 500-700 miles on it.

I have a Concept 2 erg (which I've used for over 30 years and still enjoy), an Air Assault (started to rust within 1 month, now badly rusted) that I use primarily for Tabata's and 60 second sprints, an elliptical that collects dust, a treadmill that I use for long walks and a Nordic Track ski machine. I primarily use the Air Assault and Concept 2 erg. I came to this channel looking for information on the ski erg. If the quality is equal to it's older brother (erg) it should be a great purchase. If I had to choose 1 form of cardio it would be kettlebells followed by kick boxing and then the Concept 2. If the question is about machines only than for me the Concept 2 would be my favouriteand most useful.

I love how a gym/workout equipment is just a place that simulates life before the industrial revolution, (farming, hunting, gathering) our society has changed but our human body and needs are still very old.

Versaclimber TS and Jacobs Ladder are my favorites! The JL is harder with its 45° simulated bear crawl but the Versaclimber is more intuitive. Both will jack your heart rate up without killing your joints. Both are expensive but when it comes to exercise machines, if it gets you in great shape, then that machine is worth its weight in gold. If you paid $100 for a machine and only use it as a clothes hanger, then you overpaid for that machine.

I used to do fell racing, mountain running but as I got abit older I invested in a rowing machine I think it's fantastic best cardio machine money can offer, I don't and never will rate treadmills or stationary bikes just cause I'd rather be outdoors for that form of exercise 👌but the rowing machine is just amazing but it has to be a good rowing machine with higher resistance levels alot of these air rowers in gyms don't really offer alot of resistance, Concept, Taurus, Aviron, Nordictrack are all great rowers

Great review could see your channel being big one day hope you start making more videos

[salfarovibes]

This is funny lol good job. Informative too.

[jamesmartinez]

Have the C2 rower, Skierg, and bikerg. They really are great workouts. I thought of getting the Echo bike instead of bikeerg but over and over I read that most users who had both, preferred the bikeerg.

Which would you recommend for a chef, I’m on my feet at least 10hours per day. Which would you suggest is the best for me, I don’t want to further strain my feet and knees to do cardio.

[SwindonRunner]

Anything C2 makes is a safe bet. If they ever make an elliptical I will be first in line. I have all 3 machines they make, all awesome.

For mental balance I would go with the Recombent bike 40 min for 300 calories burn 🔥
For Body strength I would go with the Rower which give you 300 calories burn in just 25 min 🔥 and also give you the upper body workout as well for the legs. But the specificlly legs workout efficiently is still with the bike.. you feel the legs really come alive ❤

I owned a concept 2 rower for years and always ended up with back problems. Spend a ton of time trying to perfect my technique and even shared it with trainers and online. I think my back is just not suited for this type of workout so sold it. Too bad I love the idea of a full body workout in one machine.
The ski-erg does look very interesting to me as an alternative but I am wondering if that will cause the same strain on my back.

Skipping rope.
1. Saves space
2. Cheap
3. Low maintenance
4. Versatile in terms of exercises
5. Builds coordination and balance
6. Can be used aerobically and anaerobically
7. Low impact on joints

[gordonv.cormack]

In order of usage: BikeErg, then RowErg, then SkiErg, then elliptical, then treadmill. I detest machines like the elliptical and the bikes that artificially tie arm and leg motions. So when I use the elliptical, I almost always use it arms-only. I put vastly more time on the bike simply because it is hands-free. I do my morning coffee, email and internet surfing on the bike. For big cardio workouts, the row erg. I like the ski erg for that too, but is is "harder" in that I get more exhausted for the same number of watts. I love running, but outdoors. so I don't use the treadmill much. When the weather's good, I run outdoors for serious cardio. When the weather's poor, I row or ski. I don't agree that it is difficult to ski erg for an hour. You can watch a movie or the news and pass the time just as easily as on the rower. Though not, I suppose, if your ski erg is bolted to the wall. That would require you to watch on a device right in front of your face, and might be a bit claustrophobic.

This is a list of the most common machines? Really? no treadmills, ellipticals, etc, but instead a machine i have never seen before this video (the ski thing).

[waltblackadar]

The best piece of cardio equipment is the one that you'll use. It doesn't matter how effective it is if it's being used as a towel rack.

[MiniSquatch]

Could do the jump rope. It's cheap, you can do it anywhere, and it is great cardio. However it's not very exciting and it requires quite a bit of skill.

[comptegoogle]

they should make a ski erg mounted on a treadmills to copy up hill crosscountry skiing.
