  • The elliptical used to be my favourite but now that I've taken a liking to running, it's the treadmill! :D Both are great though!

    I love the Incumbent bike no pressure on my knees or ankles and a great burn I also use the elliptical but the bike is my fav.
  • Call me crazy, but ever since I trained for a 5k earlier this year I HAVE to get onto the treadmill whenever I go to the gym; now that I am closer to my goal weight it just doesn't seem like that daunting piece of equipment that would scare me a bit sometimes. So for now at least, my favorite is the Treadmill.

    Treadmill, as I use it when it's too cold or crappy outside to run. Need the weight bearing exercise keep bones strong.

    I like the treadmill just so I can see how far I can run in a certain amount of time. I would rather do that than the elliptical for that purpose because it is more like running outside. I also "like" the step mill because of the great calorie burn. I don't have to be on that thing as long as any other cardio machine to burn the same amount, lol.
