Elliptical or Treadmill

.......and why?

I have a treadmill at home...that's the only reason.

treamill is boring to me..at least with the ellipitcal it switches up a bit

I say treadmill. I use both at the gym. I find the elliptical is more boring, and the treadmill you can change up...for instance you can walk, run, and put it on an incline...cant do that with an elliptical.

elliptical.
It gives me something to do with my hands plus the treatmill messes me up...I dont know why but everytime I get off I have to hold myself up on a wall because my equilibrium is so messed up.

Elliptical. The treadmill is hell on my knees after a while. And it makes me dizzy?

elliptical, I can't run in a straight line. My elliptical also has the moving handles, so I get an arm workout as well.

I like the Elliptical better but I find that I get a better work out on the Treadmill (sweat more, etc)... so I said treadmill.

Elliptical...I actually find that I get a better workout with it. Plus it's easier on the knees.

I jsut got a treadmill for mothers day and I can watch tv as I am doing it and not even realize how long I have been on it plus it gives you the read out s of how far your walked how many calories you burned and so on. I don't think you get that with the othermachine plus walking is low impact and alot of people have lost more weight by just walking

I love both, but I voted for Treadmill because I like to run (when I feel REALLY motivated )!

I think the treadmill is boring and I have to hold on, otherwise I feel like I am going to fall off!

I think the treadmill gives you a better work out with more options.
I find that I have to put the elliptical on really high tension to get a good sweat going. Running/Jogging or walking fast on a high incline really does the trick for me.

Elliptical. I get winded really easily on the treadmill, and it hurts my knees more.

I voted treadmill cuz thats what I have and I always get a good workout on it, I sweat buckets!
