What Is Better For Losing Weight, Running On Treadmill Or Elliptical Machine?
I have found that erging works very well. It works every muscel in your body. The only problem is, its very expenceive to buy one but the website has a list of health clubs in w/e area owns one. In case you dont know an erg is a rowing machine. After rowing 4000 meters i lost 4 pounds after 15 mins. so it does work. here is a website for you http://www.concept2.com
do both. mixing it up causes your body to have to work harder than if you just did one all the time.
elliptical
start with 20-30 minutes work up to 90 minutes a day
ELLIPSE! it burns waaayy more calories than a tredmill does. and its less work on your joints too.
Not to be flippant, but the best machine is the one that you are comfortable with and will use on a consistant schedule. Although it is good to mix it up, over a month or so your body will get used to the mechanics of particular machine and the benefits slowly taper off. If you go to a gym use a different machine each visit. If you’relooking of buying a home model go for the elliptical because you can always run outside. I prefer the stairstepper machines about 4-5 times a week but I will work in an hour on the elliptical at least once a week.

I think it contains the best tips for weight loss.
From personal experience, the eliptical burns far more calories per the same amount of time when compared to treadmill. However, I dont like the eliptical cause for one things, its not a natural way for your body to move, and it also doesnt help you get better at anything, whereas a treadmill helps with walking and running.
from what i’ve read, its definitely running on the treadmill
all that matters is the calories you burn running makes you bones stronger and healthier though
