What is the difference between 1mile on a stationary bike? Elliptical? Treadmill? Or even running outside?

Was curious because I did 15 miles in an hour on a stationary bike and it felt so easy compared to the others? Like the amount of effort you put into it. Felt like I could go another hour. Although I consumed about 32 ounces of water during that hour.

It depends.... Running is making your body in a catabolic state which it burns all mass( muscle and fat) ... I honeslty advise you not to do running. Lower Impact Cardio: Stationary Bike, Fast walking, and Ellpitcal at 60%-70% of ur max heart rate

That way your body does the lipolysis(sp?)
