Most of the cardio benefit comes from simply doing more of it, so the best machine is the one you will actually use: a quiet walking pad under a desk, a sturdy treadmill or rower for harder sessions. For long or hot workouts, sodium-based electrolytes can help you replace what you sweat out, and a tracker shows whether your training is adding up.
Compare options in walking pad vs. treadmill, and read electrolytes explained before you buy a hydration mix.
