In this brief video, Eric Roberts lists common cardio modalities—Stairmaster, treadmill, elliptical, rower, bike, and swimming—and explains that the choice of equipment depends on two primary objectives: heart health and fat loss. For heart health, he emphasizes moderate intensity, where you can maintain a conversation without being overly breathless, rather than focusing on a specific machine. For fat loss, he states that cardio serves as a calorie‑burning tool to complement nutrition; the specific machine is irrelevant as long as you pick the one you dislike the least, making adherence easier.

Stairmaster, treadmill, elliptical, rower, bike, swimming, having sex. Just kidding. I know some of you don't do that. Which of those is the best form of cardio? Well, remember, we're using cardio for 2 main things: heart health and fat loss. The best version of cardio for your heart health isn't necessarily the exact machine. It's more so not getting your heart rate super high when you're doing your cardio. When you're doing cardio, you should be able to maintain a conversation like this right here and not be super out of breath. And then for fat loss, once again, it doesn't matter the exact machine that you do because cardio is just used as a tool to help you burn more calories. That way, in conjunction with your nutrition, it will help you get into a calorie deficit and lose fat. So just pick whichever one you hate the least.
