treadmill vs. elliptical machine ?
nnbb asked:
I need help.
I have been working out on my treadmill 6 days a week and also doing weight training every other day. I do lots of squats and stuff. well since I have been going faster on the treadmill my knees have been starting to hurt. right under the knee cap. I know its the treadmill cause It wasn’t till I started using it did they hurt. but it was about a week after when i started to go at 5mph. for 28 min. well Its been a week since i have worked out and my knees still hurt ?? what gives? I would enjoy my workouts so much better if my knees didn’t hurt. would getting a elliptical help ? i know it won’t be so hard on the joints but will it still give me the same workout ? like will my legs still get the same workout as treadmill. ?? I’m mainly looking for cardio to drop weight and I weight lift for muscle toning ? but the joggin has helped tone my legs even more.
