Through consistent training on an elliptical, the heart muscle is strengthened. Thereby, the risk of heart attack, heart disease, or stroke is highly reduced.

I myself have been a runner, but the elliptical with arm bars at up to 15 to 20, demands an intesity that just melts fat away. The personal trainer Steve said it right, what it really depends on is your heart rate, and the easiest way to make that sky rocket is by moving multiple muscles at the same time. You use your triceps, biceps, forearms, shoulders, chest, and upper back with the arm bars alone! Add that to running and you lose weight really fast.

Touch choices the right machine. I am a long time runner and ex crosscountry runner. However I've had two back injuries and my knees are shot from skiing, biking, hiking and wake-boarding.I enjoyed treadmills for years and was always my go to when it was raining heavy. However, my physical therapist and doctor have advised me to stop running altogether. I've done the elliptical in the past, but never felt that I had the same workout. Never got the runners high. It may have been do to improper use or intensity wasn't enough. I may buy a good one and give it another try because my lemond bike trainer is getting slightly boring.

If I were to do 10 minutes on each, sometimes I hardly break a sweat with the treadmill. So the choice probably is to go with an elliptical trainer because you can increase intensity without having to lengthen the minutes spent on it plus the low-impact nature of it means it will allow you to do more since pain won't be an issue.

These are some great benefits to the elliptical. As a personal trainer I recommend and use one myself to stay in shape. The key is to exercise with enough intensity to elevate your heart rate so that you really burn the fat.

However, if you really want to have it all; a low-impact, full-body, high-cardiovascular, and maximum calorie burn while you're having fun then you have to take the elliptical cross trainer outside and try the StreetStrider, the first 3-wheeled cross trainer that speeds you down the road, climbs hills, and carves downhills. The best workout on wheels. I agree that both machines can provide good aerobic exercise but if you want to engage upper body muscles the cross trainer is better of course.

Get a treadmill with a continuous duty motor and a motorized incline. It's so easy to create additional resistance just by increasing the incline. That way I can get a more intense workout without having to stay on the thing for a longer time. I really love using my treadmill.
