treadmill vs. elliptical.please help?
jessy asked:
i was set on getting a manuel treadmill(i don’t have the money for an expensive one with the motor). then i started to read about elliptical machines. they sound really good too, and i found some reasonably priced ones.
i read that elliptical machines are easier, is this true? and i heard that they burn more calories in the same amount of time as a treadmill does, but then i also heard that they are better for building muscles than shedding fat. and how effective are manuel treadmills? i read that they are good, because it’s closer to actually running than the motorized ones are. i really need help on this one!
anyone have any input? it’d be greatly appreciated!
also….please don’t suggest going outside for a jog. first of all i HATE the cold, and i really don’t like people looking at me when i work out.
