What gym equipment is best for weight loss?

I recently joined a gym and I'm really keen on losing my belly fat. There are so many machines there, I don't know where to start. Can someone suggest which gym equipment is most effective for weight loss, especially for someone who's a beginner?

I just joined a gym and feel very intimidated by all the heavy machines. Is starting with just the basic treadmill at a slow speed good enough for weight loss, or do I need to learn the other equipment too?

Honestly, the treadmill set on a steep incline is the easiest way to sweat. Put on some music, walk at a 10% incline, and you'll burn calories without having to wait in line for the fancy gym machines.

The rowing machine and air bike are incredible for high-calorie burn. I track my active calories on my smartwatch, and a 20-minute intense session on the rower burns way more than a simple jog on the treadmill while engaging your entire core.

I lost 12 kgs over the last year, and the elliptical trainer was my best friend. It was extremely gentle on my knees compared to the treadmill, which used to cause me joint pain. Pair it with some light dumbbells for great results.

The treadmill is great, mostly because walking on it is the only time I can watch my shows without feeling guilty. Honestly, just find any machine that keeps you moving when you'd rather be sleeping. Consistency is the hard part!
