Cross Training Questions

 

What's better: walking on treadmill or gazelle?

What's better? Tony Little's gazelle machine is a cross-trainer, an elliptical trainer...or the old treadmill? Maybe I should mix it up so it doesn't get boring....

  1. Actually mixing it up is a good idea. However i like bike riding.
  2. yeah mix it up, when u get bored with one use the other. remember to have fun too.
  3. mix it up
  4. i think elliptical is better since it makes you use all your major muscles i.e legs and arms ... and on a treadmill you're only using your legs (unless ofcourse you're pumping your arms along with walking/jogging/running) ... so on an elliptical you burn more total calories than on a treadmill ... but the best choice is what you said yourself ... mix it up for the fun part
  5. mix it up or what ever you like best !!
  6. I have a gazelle and a treadmill, I find the gazelle gets a little (no pun intended) boring. It it very difficult after a few weeks to get the heart rate up without almost pulling a hamstring. It is good for stretching and worm-up, but I think that for the most part, a treadmill with a descent incline is the best for cardio.
  7. the old treadmill
