Gym Exercise Equipment

Exercise bike where you are mainly just using your legs , treadmill, or elliptical
I have been going hard on the bikes at the gym but then someone told me it barely burns any calories that I should run on the treadmill? Is this true? Also is 20 mins of cardio at the gym 4 days a week plus 2 days of weights plus a 10-60 minute walk 7 days a week good exercise or should I be doing more to lose weight?

Jumping jacks
Dancing
Sit ups
General house work (that burns cals too)

How much time should I spend doing these each day to lose weight?

Is there anything else I can do indoors to help me lose weight besides aerobic videos(I hate those exercise/aerobic videos) and without any gym equipment b/c I don’t have any and can’t afford any.

I’m almost due to give birth, and I was wondering if it would be better for me, a treadmill or elliptical? Money is tight, I can’t join a gym. I can invest in one piece of exercise equipment.

Really, I want to lose the weight I’ve gained so burning calories is good.
I’m tempted ot lean toward the elliptical b/c I can get one at a lower price than a treadmill.

1. Cross trainers
2. Elliptical machines
3. Stair climbers
4. Bikes
5. Treadmills

The reason I ask is because I just got a great deal in the mail for a fitness club membership and I’m seriously thinking about joining. I’m not overweight, but I do have a little fat … a little … to lose around the belly area. I want to have my six pack showing by hopefully August. I checked out the website of the club and this is the equipment it listed for cardio exercises.

By the way, I don’t even know what a cross trainer is. If you can paint a picture for me, that’d be great.

So, which one burns the most fat? Thanks!
