| Science with Ines: Speedy Slimming for the Summer |
|
An experiment to investigate the quickest way to a hot bod. Query: What I’m scheming, its purpose, and what I hope comes of it. I will be conducting an experiment to discern which cardio exercise machine will help me burn the most calories. The purpose of this endeavor is to find out how to get a hot bod in the quickest amount of time possible. I hope that a stationary bicycle will help me burn the most calories because it allows me to sit; one of my favorite pastimes. Hypothesis: An uneducated guess. If I exercise for 10 minutes each on a(n): treadmill, Stairmaster, stationary bicycle and elliptical, to the intensity of “Eye of the Tiger” on repeat, then I predict I will burn the most calories from the Stairmaster, because its name implies it will thrash me into hotness. Procedure Summary: The play by play. I made a playlist consisting of: “Eye of the Tiger,” “Eye of the Tiger” and “Eye of the Tiger”. I called it Eye of the Tiger. I went to my local gym (if you don’t have one, you can always use the Stott’s stuffy confines) and began exercising. I ran on the treadmill, stepped on the Stairmaster, pedaled on the stationary bicycle, and looked stupid on the elliptical for 10 minutes each. After exercising, I recorded the calories burned from the calorie expenditure meter on the digital panel. Unlimited water was available for me during the study. Exercising happened in the afternoon at 3:00pm. A damp towel was used to mop my pathetic persipirating forehead. Data and Observations: The facts; truth; true that; actuality.
