My absolutley favourite is the "mountain climbing thing". It is vertical, and you have to use both your arms and legs. My second favourite is the treadmill - simple, burns tons of calories. The "elliptical thing" is great on days when running/treadmill is too hard on my knees (such as the day after skiing). Sorry, doesn't really answer your question.

I'm trying to get my never up to try the elliptical. I have found I like the stationary bike better than the treadmill. Treadmill is just so boring. However, seems I burn more calories on the treadmill.


So do you think the elliptical burns equivalent to the treadmill?

...well I don't have access to any of the above ;-).........but if I did, and I'm only speaking from what I've used in the past I'd go with treadmill. I do really like the sound of the elliptical though.

Gretchen I think it will depend on the intensity of the workout.

I like the stationary bike that sits low.
I use that on days when I KNOW I need to exercise but I don't want to. I get a stack of magazines and set it for level 7 for 45 minutes. I sweat my butt off butt but still get to take it easy...sort of.
