1. More Meals, Smaller Portions: Research has shown that eating 5-6 smaller meals a day, instead of 3 large meals drastically increases your metabolism. Try health bars or protein shakes as meals replacements. Make sure you eat smaller portions to allow your body to properly process your meals.
2. Vitamin and Nutrients. It is so important to get the proper vitamins and minerals EVERY day! With our fast pace lives, its so hard to eat healthy. You must make sure at a minimum you are taking a high grade multi vitamin everyday. Ask a physician to recommend one for your age, gender, and lifestyle. Yes, it makes a difference!
3. Take the Stairs - This is meant both literally and figuratively. Literally take the stairs when you have the option. It's a great way to get the blood flowing and burn some calories, just think of the elevator as the easy way out. Take it a step further and apply this concept to everything you do. If you have an office job, find a close place to walk to lunch everyday. Stand up and stretch out once and our for a few minutes. Are bodies were built to move!
4. Laugh: This may sound silly, but laughing is an amazing way to burn calories. It also flexes every muscle known in your abdominal core. Surround yourself with funny people, you will be happier and burn some calories too.
5. Don't Eat Late at Night- One of the biggest mistakes people make is eater big portions late at night. Make sure you don't eat within 4 hours of when you go to sleep, or even lay down. This gives your body enough time to properly digest your food while your still active.

The treadmill is best if you are going to jog or run and not just walk on it. Otherwise the elliptical will burn the most cals♥

It’s probably between the elliptical and the treadmill, but I think the elliptical is better overall since it is not as hard on your joints.

I do 20 min on tread mill and elliptical on alternate days. That means 40 mins workout when i am doing cardio and the next day is when i do weights.
Treadmill provides endurance workout when we run at constant speed for 20 min or so….while in elliptical you can opt for interval workout and adjust levels thus increasing or decreasing the level of difficulty. You can burn more calories on elliptical in less time by increasing the level of difficulty over the time.
Also, you can opt for interval workout on treadmill as well by increasing elevation and manually increasing, reducing speed. For example here is wht i follow if i am not going for endurance cardio on a certain day. This is more what the sprinters follow and helps in effective fat burn as well as increasing the heart capacity to handle stress.
4 min – Walking at 4 miles/hr
90 secs – Jogging at 8 miles/hr
90 min – Walking at 5 miles/hr
1 min – Running at 10 miles/hr
2 min – Walking at 5.5 miles/hr
1 min – Running at 10 miles/hr
2 min – Walking at 5.5 miles/hr
1 min – Running at 11 miles/hr
2 min – Walking at 5.5 miles/hr
1 min – Running at 12 miles/hr
3 min – Walking at 6 miles/hr
At start it might be difficult to reach more than 10 miles/hour but you can gradually increase the speed depending on your fitness.
