Hey Guys-
I am looking for some advice. I currently have a gym membership, but I am considering getting an Ellipitical or a treadmill? What do you guys think would be better for me to have? or is more beneficial?

I have also really wanted an ab lounge, but not sure how good they work? Any body have one or try one?? What is your thoughts on an ab lounge?

Any thoughts, comments, or anything in general about these topics are greatly apperciated.. Thank you!!!! Have a great day!

    I would go for the elliptical, because I feel like it's tough on your flooring and home environment to have a treadmill. All that repetitive pounding on the treadmill cant be good for your home. Elliptical is quieter, so you can keep it in the living room or home office without disturbing anyone while you work out. Having the equipment in your face every day makes you more likely to use it.

    Elliptical burns more calories then the treadmill. The treadmill was such a drag for me lol.
    My mom just bought an ab lounger at a garage sale and i tried it. I like it. I kind of want one now.

    I have an elliptical at home. I've always burned more calories doing that vs. The treadmill.

    I burn twice the amount of calories on the elliptical and I think it's not as boring as the treadmill! I vote elliptical.:happy:
