Treadmill VS Elliptical ?

misskate719

I'm down to my goal weight- but I'm trying to maintain my current weight and tone up my legs, so should I do the elliptical or keep running on the treadmill ?

The elliptical on high resistance BURNS my thighs.

I have only just started using the treadmill for running... but am interested in what everyone else has to say!!

ever try the stair climber? that is brutal on the legs when it comes to a burn! i love it and it will tone you up for sure

Elliptial on a 10 or higher, backward and forward. Also, treadmill on an incline that you can handle for about an hour. You will tone your legs and your butt. Focus on the glutes.

I can't stand the elliptical as it makes my feet go numb - no matter which machine or what settings I put it on. Plus, I find that I burn far more calories on the treadmill.

So. I'm a treadmill kind of girl!

I think you should do both... I've had trainers tell me it's great to walk on a treadmill at an incline of 7 at about 3.0 speed.

I love walking on the treadmill doing intervals. I do like 3.8 and 9 incline for like 4 minutes then a short 1 minute jog at like 5.2 at 2 incline. My butt sure has changed from that.

Also if you really want to tone your legs add some squats and lunges. Those work a ton of muscles.
