i think both are equally good. thing about the treadmill or just running in general is to be careful that you dont break down. shyt is crucial on the knees.

i do each every other day. one week it will be the treadmill. next week it will be the elliptical. but i always make sure to run on pavement or a trail on Saturdays.

Heard the treadmill is only good for walking on, it's bad on your knees for running.

I use them both, but as others have said, the elliptical is easier on your legs.

I've always like the elliptical kinda has a slight running in sand feel :manny:

I just got back to working out this week been feeling mad :flabbynsick: lately

I think the elliptical is way better, I ain't no hardcore exercise motherfukker.

The treadmill always fukked me up I would feel extra sore in the knees and legs after that shyt.

The elliptical is more smooth you can still burn calories and do some light work on your arms at the same time.

try both out and see wtf you like

Treadmill never fukked me up, but then I never ran intensely on it, I would just do brisk uphill walks (which is the best thing to do for fitness imo). Elliptical does half the work for you :beli:
