Most efficient cardio machine to buy for house - suggestions?

Rowing machine

you have a gf/wife, if so, you're paying for her & sex burns 8 calories a minute, use her.

Elliptical

I don't like machines, but this one got me through some issues I had. Upper body was never a problem, but I had to burn the legs.

Looking for machine that actually works and not a gimmick.

Anything will "work" as long as you actually do it consistently and at a high enough intensity.

From my experiences though, most people who get home machines will do neither.

I got on an elliptical for the first time yesterday. Awkward as hell for me to use and almost immediate muscle burn in my legs. So that seemed legit.

I think I'd like the row machine more though

It will end up being the most expensive clothing rack you ever purchased. Why not just go for a run?

Machines in general are boring. Unless you get a stable of them. And still it would suck. Best I could say is do you have any sort of bike? You can get a trainer for your bike for around 100 bucks. Use your own bike as a stationary bike. You can play a YouTube video with different training scenarios and it keeps your interest. I still at most can do it 3 days a week. I've got to get outside. With this option, you can just take the bike outside. Plus you aren't spending much.

Chuck Norris total gym.

A stair master is the toughest workout. A bike is maybe the most boring. A treadmill is a good choice esp if you jog while holding some light Dumbbells.

Whatever you do, make sure there's a TV in easy view Bc if you're looking at a wall you won't do it and if you're exercising hard you can't read a book.

I run on my treadmill with wrist weights while watching ESPN on iPad. Just make sure you change the incline every few minutes. If you don't, it can cause a little pot belly. Read that in a Men's Health article.
