If You Get Bored Easily While Working Out
Then the elliptical trainers have more to offer, and are becoming more and more popular because of their advanced features
Treadmills
While new treadmills have adjustable inclines, individually programmable workouts, and heart monitors, when it comes to advanced features they are still trailing elliptical trainers by a wide margin.
The most basic of elliptical trainers is still equipped with more features than the most advanced and expensive of treadmills. You can get more workout for your money by choosing an elliptical trainer.
If You Need To Drop Some Pounds In A Hurry
Treadmills provide a better workout for those who need to slim down in a relatively short time. Research has indicated (although it has recently been challenged) that working out on a treadmill will have you burning calories at a quicker rate than you would on an elliptical trainer.
Until the newer studies which conclude that elliptical workouts are as useful for burning calories as those on treadmills have been verified, treadmills still get the nod for those who are exercising to lose weight.
If You Are a Senior Citizen Or Recovering From a Joint Injury
You definitely should be using an elliptical trainer. Working out on an elliptical trainer will spare your joints all the jarring and pounding which comes with walking or running on a treadmill, and you'll be able to exercise the muscles and joints in both your upper and lower body at the same time.
If You Want To Run Competitively
You will benefit most from a treadmill. Elliptical trainers simply can't recreate the experience of running competitively the way treadmills can. Like apples and oranges, exercising on treadmills and elliptical trainers are both good for you, but in different ways.
If You Want A good Total Body Workout
For a great overall workout you should choose an elliptical trainers, which requires that you work both your lower and upper body throughout your entire routine. Both elliptical trainers and treadmills, however, will give you good cardiovascular benefits.
The bottom line on the differences between Elliptical trainers and treadmills is that either is great for working off excess pounds and improving your cardiovascular function, but the elliptical trainers offer full body workouts without stressing the joints the way treadmill exercise can.
So why not head for your local fitness center and give each one a try? It's the only certain way to decide which one is the machine for you!

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.
