    I can only judge on what the machines at the gym tell me but for me (adjusted for weight and age and I can't run only walk very fast up a steepincline on the treadmill) I burn more calories on the elliptical - as well as I feel it being a more useful exercise.

    I think the elliptical works my body harder. I can talk and chit-chat while on a treadmill, I have to concentrate on an elliptical.
