Treadmill or elliptical bike. Which is more beneficial? (Page 2)

[MartineVoisine]

I personally prefer elliptical bike. It is also a lot less damageable for your knees (since treadmills have harder impacts on your knees).

[KillerTaco]

Treadmill for me. Elliptical actually causes back discomfort for me. Plus I think I look stupid on a machine that makes my arms and legs look like a horrible animation of a cartoon character running... In 2D...

[Blondiee2014]

I don't like either I prefer running outside, but if I had to choose I would say bike.

[523206720]

I prefer the elliptical bike. The treadmill makes me uncomfortable and tires me out more easily.

[AngeVashes]

My girlfriend likes the elliptical better, I suggest you go with that.

[willow74]

The elliptical is easier on the joints and burns more calories.

[MrRandomGuy]

As long as you do intervall training it doesn't matter

[coffeprince]

Invest in a treadmill, I've read come on how ineffective a elliptical machines are, plus a peek of the treadmill is a that when weather is poor outside you can Whats tread indoors :) tbh I ready want to get one myself, I only have an exercise bike.. but the cheaper myself that funny have back support :( I really want one with a back bc its less strainful on the back & buttocks lol

[Asker]

So bike isn't beneficial? How often do you work out?

[coffeprince]

Exercise bike are very beneficial, I recommend one with good back support because it can make daily exercise less strainful, pleasant and overall easier.

is a good example of one with back support.

I exercise daily, 45 min on bike or tread, and 45 weight training :)

[badger25]

Treadmills for sure. Because elipticals give you assistance

[NotoriouslyNaive]

No matter what type of machine you have you're gonna feel the workout if you run for a minute walk for a minute and repeat that until you feel fatigued. I do that on my treadmill but at school I do the same on an elliptical

[front2back]

Doing 30-40 yard uphill sprints are more benefitcial than both.

[Asker]

No time. Lol

[Marstalk]

Um then how long do you plan on being on one of these?

[Teeny1]

any kind of exercise is good for you! Just get on the thing and get moving; you paid a lot of money for it, now use it!

[Kythe]

Eliptical is lower impact. But if you like to run, a treadmill is obviously better :)

[Asker]

So treadmill is better than elliptical?

[Kythe]

If you like to run, yes. You cAn't run on an eliptical :)

[Anonymous]

elliptical machines suck shit for a work out and won't do shit for you unless you set the resistance very high. running or climbing stairs is a much better workout.

[Anonymous]

Treadmill is better but the bike is better for people who have lower back pain or joint pain

[dE_logics]

Elliptical is used when you got knee problems.

Otherwise both of them are same. Elliptical produces less impact on your knees.

[meatballs21]

Elliptical is easier on your body. It has advantages and disadvantages over a treadmill.

[Asker]

What are they?

I don't use a treadmill because of my joints, but I can go for an hour at high heartrate on the elliptical.

[Anonymous]

I heard the elliptical is more beneficial and see better results.

[Anonymous]

[Asker]
