When equipping your home fitness gym, you’re going to need cardio equipment. If you want to melt fat then you are going to need to perform a variety of cardio exercises designed to get one’s heart rate up and accelerate the burning of calories.

On an ultra basic level, a standard jump rope can perform this duty quite effectively. If you do wish to really accelerate the process of burning calories, then you may wish to invest in exercise equipment along the lines of a stair master, a treadmill, a cross country treadmill, etc.

These are fantastic variants on the traditional stationary bike and they can FAR exceed the calorie burning potential of the classic exercise bike. One such piece of equipment is the elliptical trainer. With this device, you can go through all the motions of running but without the downsides of jarring your joints. This is especially good for those that already have joint pains and find it difficult to run.
