The treadmill has the potential to be the most effective weight loss tool. You can run or walk on the treadmill, which has a moving belt. If you run on the treadmill, you'll burn more calories. A person who weighs 200 pounds will burn approximately 1,044 calories every 60 minutes she runs at a speed of 7 mph. The recumbent or upright stationary bike, the elliptical trainer, and the recumbent stationary bike are the second, third, and fourth most effective machines, respectively.
