I like the elliptical. My knees get a little achy and if I'm going to walk/run, I'll just go outside.0

Honestly, whichever one you are going to stick with and use on a consistent basis - I tend to use the Elliptical, though a number of people use the treadmill and achieve great results.0

1st choice - get outside & walk or run
2 - treadmill at incline is best you can get
3 - elliptical if you have dodgy joints0 -
Hated the elliptical I much prefer a treadmill. I just can never get into a good rhythm with an elliptical and enjoy running more than swinging.0

I prefer the Elliptical. When I was a member at a gym, that was my preferred cardio.0

Bad knee here so it's Elliptical for me.
But why not gym? For the money you'd spend on an Elliptical you could have a gym membership for several years. If you buy a cheap one, it'll break or not be an effective calorie burner.

I second this. I bought a cheaper elliptical and it broke quick(I was super overweight for my height but no where close to 200 pounds even lol). I like the elliptical way more than the treadmill as you burn more calories. I am starting to like the treadmill now that I can finally run a bit though. The noise of a treadmill is quite annoying inside a house as well. I love going to the gym, and you get WAY more than just a treadmill or elliptical for the money spent.0
