I am going to buy a treadmill, elliptical machine or rowing machine. Which will give me the best results?

Answer 1

Statistically, treadmills/running offer the best option of cardio workout. Elliptical machines come in a close second. Rowing machine are in the middle of the top ten.

Running applies pressure on the knees, ankles and other joints which can lead to future problems for a person who doesn't learn the proper method of running. The elliptical offers a good cardio workout without applying pressure to the joints due to the smooth elliptical travel. I would go with the elliptical as my first choice.

Answer 2

Don't buy either. We bought a treadmill about 3 years ago and it just sits in the sunroom. Take the money and get a gym membership and enroll in areobic classes. That way you have to go to the gym for the class and then you can utilize the treadmill, elliptical machine and rowing machine that are also at the gym..that is what I wish I had done. GL

Answer 3

An elliptical machine is more of a total body workout if it has the arms on it, plus it's a lower impact workout, better for your joints. Also, make sure you're getting the proper nutrition.

A treadmill is good I brought one three years ago and it get boring after a couple of months I think... I did lose 10 pounds in two months, but now it's sitting in the basement with all the stuff i don't use(400$ for nothing) because i use the one at the gym now

Answer 5

treadmill, definitely. it gives you a pumped up cardio workout that an elliptical can't. and the rower mainly works the upper body. go treadmill, and if you don't want that maybe you can give it to me instead:)
