Which machine is your favorite?
People do not always burn the same number of calories on one exercise machine as on another.
A recent study was conducted on the number of calories expended by healthy men and women in their twenties while they exercised on four different machines. The intensity of their exercise was categorized as "fairly light" , "somewhat hard" , or "hard" and showed the following results:
Both men and women burned the most calories on the treadmill and the least on the stationary bicycles.
The stair climber and the rowing machine were in the middle for both men and women.
Whatever the equipment is, that men burned more calories than women did is the physiological fact that pound for pound, men have more muscle than women, and muscles burn more calories than fat does. In addition, it takes more calories to move a larger person and men are usually bigger than women.
Be sure to consult a trainer before starting any of these exercise programs as they involve impact pressure, which is often associated with physical injury.
