Does anyone know which one is better in terms of longevity and calorie burn? I want to get an elliptical, but which one would my body get used to fastest? I don't want to have it become useless after using it a lot.

    Gazelle looks cheap and dodge .... I own an elliptical I wanted a piece of equipment that would last.

    Elliptical for the durability factor.

    Low intensity steady state cardio is not the best option for weight loss by far. Sports science research has shown that doing short, high intensity intervals (like 15 second all out sprints) are far more effective at reducing body fat compared to low intensity steady state cardio.

    I had the Gazelle once - and gave it away. Didn't feel like I was 'doing' anything on it. An eliptical? That is a tough workout.

    Ultimately though, find something you will enjoy doing.
