    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.

    Elliptical!! The impact of the treadmill makes it tough for me to breathe for some reason...

    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.
