Can we loss Weight in Thread Mill or better in Elliptical machine?

Question

I went to a Gym equipment shop to buy "Thread Mill" but the shopkeeper told me that "We cannot reduce weight in thread mill"!! Is that real??,,He suggested me to buy Elliptical which is best to reduce weight (that too no-electricity needed machine),..Is that a good idea??,.Which gives me best result Thread Mill or Elliptical machine??,..please leave your suggestion on your experience!!
The price he told for both the machines are:
Threadmill : about 35000rs (Company= B.S.A)
Elliptical : about 10000rs (Company= B.S.A)
Is that a fair price for machine with a lowest model in that range?

Answer 1

in terms of chest workout.. you will need to lift more weights to develop the muscularity of your body

so lift weights first.... then do your cardio exercise after the weights to burn fat...



in terms of treadmill or elipitical



treadmill is usually a bit more intense.....

but eliptical also works well.. and is less impact



if u have knee issues your better off with elipitica



i would say treadmill is only 15% better then eliptical

Answer 2

First of all, the correct spelling is "treadmill".



Both machines induce an aerobic workout, and so both machines will result in caloric expenditure. In other words, they both can help you lose weight.



There are pros and cons to both.



The treadmill attempts to mimic what happens when you run. A good treadmill offers a wide variety of speeds and angles so as to simulate a variety of outdoor terrain. However, the surface of a treadmill is perfectly planar, and so each step lands exactly the same way, resulting in unnatural, repetitive gait and strain. Also, some people experience joint issues from the impact forces with exercises like running. This happens on a treadmill or outdoors.



The elliptical trainer is a low-impact exercise, which is good for people with joint issues. It also involves the upper body to a minor degree, however, it will not give you that "chest workout" you are hoping for. Elliptical trainers can only vary in intensity - there are no angular changes. (It is, however, possible to "run backwards" on an elliptical.) In either case, your legs are forced to go through a form of movement that, although low-impact, is completely unnatural and contrary to how your muscles and joints where designed.



For most people, I would advise them to save their money. Instead, buy some inexpensive running shoes and go running outside. You will get a far better workout than either machine can give you. This is because, unlike a stationary machine, running outdoors actually requires you to move your entire body through changes in elevation and around turns. This requires you to exert much more force than being on a stationary machine, where your center of gravity oscillates around a fixed point. Also, while outdoors, you will be less bored, meet more people, and get to explore areas on foot that you would not otherwise see.



For some people these machines might be practical. You might live in a place where it is not safe to be outdoors. Or you might live somewhere that has severe climates that make outdoor running impractical for large stretches. Perhaps you are a single parent and cannot afford a baby sitter. If you have one or more reasons like these, then either machine might be a worthwhile investment. Otherwise, save your money. Investing in one of these machines is not not the same as investing in your fitness. You can spend lots of money and never make yourself physically fit. Getting fit requires time and effort on your part, not expensive equipment.

Answer 3

Yes, the elliptical is my favorite machine for many reasons. One, it is fairly easy and is a good smooth movement so it doesn't stress your muscles. Two it works many parts of your body, your obliques, legs, abs, arms if you have that type, and you are able to move in different ways to work various parts of your body. Three, it is low impact and does hurt your joints like running does and it burns off a lot of calories. More than the trendmill for normal people because most people get tired after 2 mins of running and stop, where witht he elliptical you can go for a half an hour or more.
