Elliptical vs. Treadmill?!
Question: Elliptical vs!. Treadmill!?
I usually run outside or on a treadmill, but I recently started working out on an elliptical because it's a little easier and says I burn more calories per mile!. Is that right!?!?!? I know those calories counters are not accurate, but the ellipticals always read that you generally burn more than you would on a treadmill, so even if both figures are a little off, wouldnt that still apply!? I definitely feel like I get a better workout running, so I find it hard to believe that I'm burning more calories on an elliptical!. I want to get the most effective workout; which is best!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Funny you ask that because I asked my trainer that same question a few days ago!. His answer was that treadmills have been around way longer so they are pretty accurate but ellipticals are still new on the market so may be a little off!.!.!.!.however, it is pretty close!. He says both are good for you but the elliptical does burn more calories and is better for you for two reasons : you are doing a constant motion that is designed for optimum results and it is less stress on your body!. Also, I wear a heartrate monitor on the elliptical and it usually is very close to what the elliptical is measuring!. So, all in all, the elliptical is better for you!. Hope that helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com
