I have two friends who work out at the gym regularly. One says that the elliptical is a better workout over a treadmill; that it puts less stress on your joints and burns more calories. The other says pretty much the opposite that they put equal stress on your joints and that you will burn more calories on a treadmill.
I want to start going back to the gym and Im wondering if I should try out the elliptical.. I use to always just run on the treadmill but if the elliptical really is better on your joints and burns an equal amount or more calories then I may switch to that.
Anyone in here who exercises regularly at the gym have any input on these two machines?
