There is no best for everyone. Fitness is very individualistic. While some exercises might burn more calories. It is most important to choose one that you enjoy. I usually suggest some form of walking or stationary recumbent bicycling to start. Even if you enjoy the activity, it must be something you are capable of handling. For example, you may love to walk, but if you have a knee problem, this won't be your best choice of aerobic exercise. Talk it over with a professional to find the activity that is enjoyable and safe.
Should I Do Cardio Before or After I lift Weight?
Aerobic activity should always be performed after weight training. There are three reasons. The first is that weight training will empty your sugar tanks (glycogen or stored carbohydrates) so you can immediately go to your fat reserves when you begin your aerobic activity. Short bursts of energy, such as resistance training, burn glycogen most efficiently while long endurance activities burn fat. If weight lifting has depleted your glycogen stores, then more fat will be burned during the aerobic portion. The second reason you want to lift first is so you are at full strength. You need the energy to lift enough weight, enough times for maximum strength gains.
