There are actually machines that can help you burn fat a lot faster – and in less time. So you don’t have to spend your days sweating it out on the treadmill or rowing machine.
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 fitting into your skinny jeans before you know it!
#1 Max Trainer by Bowflex
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 calories 2.5 times faster than a treadmill, elliptical or stair stepper.
For example, 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 what a difference it makes.
Why does it burn calories 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 Nordictrack Incline Trainer
The incline trainer is similar to a treadmill. The main difference is that instead of a 10 – 15% maximum incline, you get up to 40% incline. And some trainers 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). In fact, according to the manufacturer, you can burn up to 5 times more calories with an incline trainer than with a standard treadmill.
The high incline treadmill is so effective at burning calories fast that several contestants on the TV Show “The Biggest Loser” used them during the show to shave off weight fast.
Not up to walking on a high incline? No problem, you can just use the incline trainer as a regular treadmill and do a light walk.
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 fast.
However unlike the incline trainer, the Treadclimber uses 2 smaller treadbelts that move up to meet your feet as you walk. One more 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 machine to use.
According to the manufacturer you can burn up to 2.5 times more calories than walking on a treadmill. And to help you out, you also get a Free weight loss guide 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 thing to keep in mind 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!
