Personal preference for me is the Elliptical. For me, it works not only for my cardio work out, but also works my arms, legs and upper back.

For losing weight, which is better elliptical machine or treadmill?

Q: ok I run for 35 minutes at around a 6mph then everyy 5 minutes sprint 7.5 or 8 mph. i burn about over 300 cals. Yet, if I use the elliptical trainer even that long, i burn like 500 cals. What’s the deal? Am i really burning more? I always felt like i worked harder on the treadmill, but maybe the resistance of the elliptical trainer is better?Anyone have any personal experiences having better results with one machine or another? Thanks!

A: I actually use both alternatively. I would use the treadmill one week and the elliptical machine the next week. Variety is the spice of life. But, I would use it in a circuit training way. Here is a great and effective circuit training using a treadmill. Walk for 2 minutes (as a warm-up), jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, then jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, etc…do this for about 20-23 minutes. This works great.This is just a start. Keep working out and eating properly.Good Luck.JJwww.bestabexercisesonline.comhttp://fatloss.dinksrus.com
