Which gives you a better workout? the treadmill or stationary bike. I walk at a 3.7 on the treadmill and go 2 miles. On the stationary bike I do a level 7 and the rmp is around 75 - 85.

    Do you use a HRM? The amount of calories that you burn should help you decide. I'm a road biker, but that indoor bike kicks my butt @ Level 15-17 / 60+ RPM's. Heart Rate is very high. Much prefer running on the treadmill, but HR much lower running 7+MPH.

    Either way, both are going to be great workouts! Good luck to you! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    i feel like i have had a better workout on the treadmill. i like running and occasionally i do walk on the treadmill as well. i find the stationary bike gets abit boring after a whille.
