[quote=Anonymous]The best bet for weight loss and fitness in general is to vary your target heart rate. Some days, do intervals where you get to max hear rate for 2 minutes, then 3-4 minutes at "rest". You can find calculators at various places, WedMD among them. Some days, spend 5 minutes warming up and then go below target max for 30-40 minutes. This helps build endurance. Vary machines too if possible - walk one day, bike the next. Your goal is really to get and keep your rate up. Also, working out HARD for 15 minutes is going to help you lose weight more effectively than longer, less aggressive workouts. Both will work well, but if you're struggling for time you can work harder for shorter periods and get the same results.[/quote]
