I am think of getting a Treadmill or a Elliptical Training. Which one would be better? Thanks?

Answer:
I have both as well.I just read an article in a fitness magazine in which they burn about the same amount of calories; running/elliptical; however, I find I lose much more weight when I am running on the treadmill and walking uphill - interval training - the only way I will work on a treadmill is hard so if you are older and want to burn a lot of calories; I would recommend the elliptical - we all know we cannot run forever. There are a TON of articles in Fitness, Shape and Planet Muscle that address this question...hope this helps...

Ellipticals are easier on the joints

---

If you are older or have any weak joints or anything an elliptical may be better because its lower impact than a treadmill

---

i have both! the eliptical burns more calories. the tredmill is better for a lazier day

---

They're really very different and I could never pick which I like best. I like to run on my treadmill, but the elliptical is good if you want a less intense workout.

They are equally good, but an elliptical has less impact so your joints don't hurt as much.
