    I’ve found the best technique is after a ten minute warm up jog at 5 – 6mph for one minute followed by a brisk 3.5 -4mph walk for one minute and continue by alternating jog and walk. This will give you a continuous elevated heart rate without the stress. –hope this helps

    I use the treadmill on very high inclines so I DO burn more calories on the treadmill.

    I have a Polar FT4 HRM and I did 30 minutes on the elliptical the other night and it said I burned 420 calories (I'm 170 lbs, 5'7"). On the treadmill, running at a 12:00 min/mile pace, I burn 350-380 in the same amount of time. But I feel like running on the treadmill is much harder, and I sweat more than on the elliptical, so go figure...
