GO with the ELLIPTICAL

Daily exerciser, I'm a Personal Trainer

Treadmills are great tools but they are not for everyone. I myself cannot run on a treadmill, I get shin splints and my calves ache for a week, however, I know others who can only run on treadmills. I prefer an elliptical they are easier on the joints, and still a great cardio. You can still burn just as many calories on an elliptical as if you were running.

The elliptical doesn't hurt my knees like a treadmill

Using the elliptical machine gives my joints the rest they need from the daily pounding from running. I hook up my iPod to my ears and go. Plus with the multiple styles of workouts available I can concentrate on the type of workout I need that day. You can focus on the upperbody, or lowerbody as you need it. With a treadmill you can only run or walk. I enjoy being able to mix the elliptical and treadmill workout, but when my knees are bothering me, I can always exercise on the elliptical without pain. Both have their pros, but I can't find any cons with the elliptical.

WHile i've used a treadmill for years, my new discovery of the elliptical makes me want to change over. I get a better overall workout, and it doesn't get dull.

It does take some time to get used to this type of workout where a treadmill is just like walking. But once you are used to the elliptical, it has more benefits than just running or walking, and without the stress on your joints.
