/fit/, dumb question.

what's the difference between the different methods of cardio? on machines, i mean. aside from hiit and regular running.
elliptical / rowing machine / upright bike?
Is one better for fat loss than the other? Or like, is one better for your glutes?
Any info is appreciated.

you work different muscles. Bikes work only legs etc etc. Duh.

And all of them give calorie loss based on how hard you're working.

I will say that to me at least it seems better to do something that works more muscle groups, like an elliptical, than just working one. If you aren't so fit, you can still get your heart rate up and keep it up longer before a certain muscle starts to bitch out.

This, of course, is assuming that all you want is cardio or light muscle work.

<3 ellipticals.

if you train thoroughly and properly, as in you target all areas of the body through resistence training and cardio, it won't make a huge difference what machine you use.

dear /fit/, I have a question:
what's the difference between simple and complex carbs/proteins? I think the simple ones are digested faster and the complex ones are digested slower, is this right?
So my question is: when should you be eating complex foods and when should be be eating simple foods?
I heard that a slow digesting protein source, like cottage cheese, should be ingested pre-bed; and that a fast digesting one, like whey, should be ingested directly post workout.
Also, I heard that you should avoid "empty" carbs, and go for the complex carbs, like veggies.
How much of this is true?

Here's a list I made, what other foods can be added to it?

Complex (Slow digesting):
Carbs: veggies, fruits, whole grain products
Proteins: cottage cheese, milk
Fats:?

Simple (Fast digesting):
Pro: whey
Carbs: sugar
Fats:?
