What cardio exercise is best for weight loss?

I've started going to the gym, and my trainer recommended adding cardio for weight loss. There are so many options; I'm confused about which cardio exercise would be most effective for shedding those extra kilos.

For me, chasing the local bus is the best cardio, but doctors advise brisk walking. I do it for 45 minutes daily. It is easy on the knees and doesn't leave me gasping for air like running does!

Brisk walking for 45 minutes is highly effective and safe. It helps lower blood sugar levels and aids steady weight loss. Just carry a small snack or candy with you in case your sugars drop during the exercise.

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is great for fat loss, but cycling or inclined treadmill walks are also very effective. Just make sure you are in a calorie deficit; cardio alone won't do much if your diet isn't clean.

With my terrible sleep schedule, running feels like a punishment. Honestly, just walking up and down the stairs of my building or a quick 20-minute cycle session is all I can manage. Still burns calories though!

To burn off the extra parathas, I find skipping or zumba really fun. Normal running gets boring so fast. Dancing to loud music for 30 minutes makes me sweat like crazy and doesn't feel like a chore.

Agreed with others. Brisk walking at a pace where you can talk but not sing is excellent for burning fat.
