I've only use Treadmill and never used an Elliptical. I just started running on a treadmill and I hate it! To me, it's boring and it causes stress on my joints. Is Elliptical any better?
Now you agree with me!
You don't need to run on the treadmill. Just have a high incline instead.
sharePut the treadmill on the max incline of 15%.
Then walk between 3-4mph without holding on the whole time. This actually burns a TON of calories and is much more difficult than you'd expect.
Nevr put treadmill on too much incline. It is bad for knees. Prefer keeping incline on 2 n do small stride jogging. It is almost a real simulation of outside jogging.
Crosstrainers r good if u dont want to hurt ur knees. N they r really good for hips.
Treadmill helps in fat loss better than crosstrainer if interval training is done on it.
Always keep ur heart rate 220 minus ur age n 75 to 80 percent of the figure.
Do short burst of sprinting.
Try intermittent fasting occasionally.
A person who has health has hope n a person who has hope has everything.
I also suggest the intermittent fasting. I do 2 meals a day.

shareA better diet and weight training would be better for weight loss.
Running is probably better for conditioning than an elliptical but you can do a slower pace where you could watch tv as you do it. Also, like you said, less impact on your joints.
