Which is the better workout? According to the monitors on the machines, I burn an equal amount of calories on each one for 30 minutes. However, when I'm on the stairmaster, I can't talk to anybody and I'm working really hard. On the elliptical (at a decent level), I can have an extensive conversation and I don't feel overworked as I do on the stairmaster. I find it hard to believe that they burn the same amount of calories! Which one do you feel is the better workout?

I prefer the elliptical machine.
But I'm wondering why you need to talk during working out !?!?!? ;-)

either one is a great workout. you need to increase the intensity on the elliptical. as far as calories burned, it's an estimate on the machines--it's obvious when you have a great workout--keep going!

I like the Elliptical or the cross trainer. The more comfortable your workout, the more apt you are to stick with it.
I feel the exact same way you do.
