Elliptical Trainer
Personally, this one is my favorite. I really appreciate the low impact workout, and the steady and progressive resistance levels. Low impact? Think of this – on an elliptical trainer, both feet stay in secure contact with each foot platform, never impacting a hard surface, therefore the load on joints, tendons and muscles is very low, and damage rarely, if ever, occurs. This is true in my own case, as I can exercise on an elliptical trainer without pain – just good a cardio workout. This elliptical vs treadmill comparison is getting interesting!

Treadmill
Just because I really like the elliptical trainer doesn’t mean I don’t like treadmills – just the opposite, in fact. The treadmill simulates walking, running and even jogging – all in the comfort of your living or exercise room. Performance and prices range from a few hundred to thousands of dollars, depending on your requirements and pocketbook – a great elliptical vs treadmill compromise. The treadmill can offer a really great cardio workout, and the better machines have shock absorption designs to minimize the impact on your joints for little or no damage. The vast majority of people have no problems with treadmills, and find that the exercise is superb.

So, elliptical vs treadmill really is a personal decision, and one that has no real downside – just satisfy your exercise needs and you can’t go wrong!
