    I would be more inclined to get a stationary bike than either an elliptical or treadmill...but cycling is what I like to do.

    After 5 years of owning an elliptical we finally worked out how to change the resistance setting! (The manual that came with it was crap). My husband struggles with knee pain so the elliptical is great for him. I like that you can ramp up and down speed without changing settings on the machine but at the same time it means if your not feeling it then you can slack off and it wont force you to keep up the way a treadmill would. Also like the arm workout.

    Personally both the treadmill and the elliptical are equally boring. Music makes all the difference for me. I can also close my eyes and really focus on my breathing on an elliptical, on a treadmill that would be dangerous.

    Why not just start walking outside? Treadmills are so boring.

    I live in Arizona so that's never a problem. I forget that others have to deal with it.
