With the turn of the year, many people are looking for a way to lose weight. This leads many to consider exercise equipment and the top of the line, or at least the most hyped is the BowFlex. Which BowFlex exercise is best for burning fat is probably your next question. The answer is that it depends on your fitness level when you start.

Low fitness level

The most effective method of burning fat is by increasing your heart rate. This is best done through aerobic exercise. The BowFlex unit that is best for this method is of course the BowFlex Tread Climber. This unit is similar to a traditional treadmill; however, the deck is divided to give you a low-impact workout. This is perfect for someone who is just starting to get in shape or who has knee or ankle problems. The unique design gives you a smooth workout that combines treadmill and stair climbing action.

In a study published in the Journal of American Medicine, it was found that treadmills, compared to other machines such as rowing machines and stationary bikes, burned more calories per hour than the rest. The treadmills weighed in at 700 calories per hour at hard intensity.

High level

If you’re already in pretty good shape and have reached a plateau like many tend to do, you may want to consider resistance training. While heart rate is essential for burning calories and therefore fat, there is also something to be said for building muscle.

Lean muscle burns more calories than fat, so every time you increase muscle mass, you increase fat burning. BowFlex has several home gyms to choose from, all of which use a resistance model to build muscle and therefore burn fat. By exercising at least three times a week with a BowFlex home gym, you will build significant muscle mass.
