What really..

What really makes a big weight loss difference when it comes to working out on an elliptical machine? Is a treadmill more effective or is an elliptical machine?

treadmill VS eleptical

As far as I have learned, treadmill cause shok on your knee but not the eleptical.... eleptical is the best choice.

Treadmill VS Elliptical 2

As far as I know, running on the treadmill can cause joint pain due to shock, but with no prior history of knee trouble and good shoes you will be fine. I

f you have had prior knee trouble, the Elliptical is much less strenuous but due to the assisted pedalling can be an easier work-out.

Use whichever one you feel most comfortable on but if choosing the elliptical, make sure the level (usually numbered 1 - 10) or resistance is set at a pace that is not too easy for you.

Elliptical wins hands down

Having sudied fitness and nutrition for a while, I would have to say the elliptical wins hands down. It uses more muscles, granted that you use the hand grips. If you use the treadmill, you have the option of just swinging the arms low or holding the rails. With the elliptical, the arms are higher in corporating more of the chest, back and delt muscles. The more muscles you use, the more calories you burn.

If you wanna change your body, you have to change your life. Only you can do that.

Both are equally the same...

When it comes to weight loss, both machines will accomplish the same thing--technically any body movement will. The key element to weight loss is your heart rate. Known as your THR (Target Heart Range) this range is the determining factor in whether you are exercising properly. All to often do I go to my gym and see people killing themselves on any one of many cardio machines trying to burn calories and lose weight. However, they are usually working themselves too hard and aren't actually benefiting at all. In fact, they are causing more harm than good!

So how do you determine your THR? It's a simple math equation:

220 - (your age) = MHR (Max Heart Rate) Your max heart rate is the maximal heart rate (beats per minute) that you should NEVER go past.
Now to calculate the range, it's 50%-80% of your MAX. (Some will also argue that it's 65%-85%) So for example I'm 25 years old. My MHR is 195. My "training zone" is 97-156 bpm. But now here is the MOST important part in making your weight loss successful--where and for how long you train within your training zone. Are you trying to burn fat or lose weight which can include muscle weight as well (which weighs more than fat)? If you train in the higher part of your zone, you're doing cardiovascular work which is good for endurance. However your body will turn to muscle as an energy source before it turns to fat because it can convert it to energy much quicker. So sure, you'll lose weight and burn calories, but you'll also lose muscle. When you train in the lower part of your zone, you are focusing on solely burning fat. This requires a LOT more time to be spent on any one of the devices (at least 45 minutes but an hour is suggested) So what to do? You want the endurance training and you want to burn the fat too...Interval training is perfect for this. Essentially, you go back and forth between varying heart rates as you exercise. Putting emphasis perhaps on what you want more, or not. (ie. 5 minutes high, 5 low. Or 5 high, 3 low. etc)
Now when it comes to cardio machines like treadmills, elliptical trainers, bikes, stairclimbers, etc., it's mainly about variety. Each machine will get your heart rate up and put stress/resistance against certain muscles. But treadmills (and running in general) can put a great amount of stress on the knees and cause problems later down the road if proper form isn't followed whereas ellipticals do not.
