Which machine will I see better results with: The elliptical machine or the treadmill? For some reason i sweat more on the elliptical machine and I heard it's good for you because it's low impact on the knees. But then some people say the treadmill is the best thing for you. Any ideas?

Stay away from the vending machine. That helps!

I have done both. You can spend less time on the elliptical machine and get the same effect as the treadmill. It cuts down in the time that you spend exercising. So go elliptical if you can

Elliptical is better as it works out more muscles, especially if you pedal backwards for some of the time as well. PLus it's gentler on your joints.
It also gets your heart rate higher than the treadmill (for most people it's the other way around), so is better on all counts.
You could always do a bit of both, to stop your body getting used to one thing...

elliptical because it tones your abs along with your legs. Treadmill is just for your legs and cardio. so stick to the elliptical

The elliptical trainer is amazing if you can stand to be on it for long. I hate that death machine but man does it do the trick!

I think the treadmill is the best. That is because you work out most of the body muscle.
