I find that the elliptical gives me a better workout b/c it isn't so harsh on my knees or ankles (the impact of running on a treadmill slows me down). I find that if I use an elliptical, I can normally stay on for an hour, versus only a half hour (at the most) for the treadmill.

I don't own a treadmill (wish I did), but my eliptical machine isn't nearly as good of a workout as jogging!
the eliptical machine is just too easy.. I have to go really fast on it if I want a workout that's as good as jogging.. it seems like I'm being rough on the machine when I go too fast though.. like it's going to fall apart or something..

cardio refers to any type of exercising that receives your heart price as a lot as 70% to 80 5% of your maximum heart price. walking, using a bicycle, swimming, aerobics, martial arts, tennis; those are all examples of cardio. in spite of the undeniable fact that, maximum folk look at cardio as secure-state exercising (the position you exercising at a ordinary %. without preventing). that's why walking and aerobics are both maximum said forms of cardio -- you do not exercising consultation large-not straightforward yet you save doing it for a lengthy time period. If human beings are telling you to do a lot of cardio to drop extra pounds, do not listen!!! For weight-loss, your best buddy is walking. walking burns exceedingly a lot as many energy in line with hour as walking in spite of the undeniable fact that that's decrease impression, so your joints do not take a beating. also, you may walk as a lot as you want and nevertheless burn fat exceedingly a lot solely, yet once you do cardio for more beneficial than 40 minutes at a time you chance burning muscle instead of fat. no longer sturdy. P.S.: An elliptical gadget is a "walking" gadget the position you position your feet on stirrups that bypass your legs in a cycle that resembles walking without the impression on the pavement. some human beings do o.k. on them. Others (like me) get all forms of joint soreness in the ankles and hips. attempt one out earlier you bypass out and purchase one.
