The best exercise for weight loss? We wish there was a simple answer to this question! Just one class to sign up for or one set of equipment to buy, and all your weight loss goals will soon be ticked off. Alas, it’s never so simple. While some forms of exercise may certainly be more intense, get your heart pounding faster and your lungs working harder, there’s also a lot more to consider. Not least, that while we can look at what the science says, the reality is that the best exercise for weight loss is probably the one you enjoy and will therefore stick to.

And all this is even before we even consider nutrition. After all, your diet is likely to play a far greater role in your health and weight loss (if that’s your goal) than exercise, though exercise can certainly help. Generally speaking, cardiovascular exercise is more likely to burn a higher number of calories, so you can take a look at some of the best cardio equipment or exercise machines for weight loss.
