I was thinking of getting an exercise machine but what one should I get? I was thinking either treadmill or elliptical trainer. I'm mainly looking to lose belly and thigh fat so what would be the most ideal one to get?

    Treadmills are great, I feel ellipticals are a good alternative if you have bad knees since the elliptical isn't as hard on your knees as a treadmill can be. Just my two cents, you really can't go wrong with either one.

    I'm addicted to spinning so I would say get a spin bike but otherwise I say get whichever one you'll really use.

    The elliptical works more muscles and I think they are a great way of burning calories. You can do aerobics programmes on them, working cardio, upper and lower body.

    I was amazed how many calories I burned on the elliptical!
