Which is better for weight loss and fat burning?
Answer:
eliptical trainer
treadmill
i depends on what speed you are going and what resistance you have it set on, but if you were going to set them at the same thing, then the eliptical would be better, because you can go forwards or backwards and you can also work your arms
the machine that you will consistently use each week is the one that is better for you.. both are good for fat loss. the treadmill seems to give me better results at the expense of sore knees and shins. the elliptical is a good alternative and the lower impact of the elliptical spares my knees and shins. i like to use them both.
It still depends on the resistance level you set on the elliptical trainer or the incline of the treadmill but i personally recommend the elliptical trainer as it also tones the upper body simultaneously
Depends on how hard you go. Check your heartrate while you're doing it. Biggest number wins.
Elliptical trainers offer a non-impact cardiovascular workout that can vary from light to high intensity based on the resistance preference. Most elliptical trainers work the user's upper and lower body (although some models do not have moving upper body components). Using an elliptical trainer is designed to elevate the heart rate more than building muscles.
An elliptical cross trainer is comparable to a treadmill in its exertion of leg muscles and the heart. However, because the user's limbs remain in continuous contact with the machine, its operation limits the dynamic loading of bones and joints to generally harmless levels. This non-impact aspect appeals to those with recent injuries, chronic knee problems, and the obese, who cannot tolerate a treadmill. Ellipticals produce an intermediate range of leg motion between that of stationary bikes and treadmills.There are claims that the dual action exercise of an elliptical trainers can actually be more efficient in burning calories. The logic is that by exercising more muscle groups simultaneously, a more intense workout can be achieved in less time. It is also suggested that the perceived rate of exertion is lower. However, other studies have shown that the rate in which calories are burned on an elliptical trainer is similar to that on a treadmill
eliptical.
It would depend on whether you are wanting to increase your stamina or build muscles/tone. The treadmill is mainly an aerobotic work out to get your heart pumping with limited results on firming/toning. With the eliptical trainer, it is designed to work your rump, upper thighs and calf muscles which will firm muscles and tone them at the same time.When I work out, I start out first on the treadmill for about 20 minutes just to get my heart pumping and some oxygen going to the muscles. Then I use the eliptical trainer for about 20 minutes to firm and tone, followed by some lite weight training for the final 20 minutes to firm/tone the upper body. Both are good for loosing weight. Hope this helps!
30 mins on both.
