The best types of cardio to aid in weight loss are either low-impact, low intensity cardio, and weight training. It is important to realize that cardio is the third most important variable during a weight loss phase. The most important variables are 1) eating so that you are in a slight calorie deficit and 2) weight training to increase your metabolism and prevent muscle loss.
