Greetings,
I am not in good shape, and have always been told that running is the best way to lose weight and get in shape. While I remember once walking on the treadmill, while huffing and puffing, I'm sorry to say that to date, jogging at a 5.0 for 6-7 minutes is about the current best I can do on my treadmill, and that's really giving it my all! (I mean, that's just killing myself, but in a good way.) Of course, when I can't tolerate running any longer, I go back to walking at a brisk page, and than continue jogging when I feel ready, off and on, but I can't help but wonder if using the elliptical would be better for me at this point because it's more constant?
So I guess my question is, assuming that I cannot "run" like I'd like to now, which exercise burns more calories? The treadmill, or the elliptical? I researched this question online, and received mixed reviews. Which provides better cardio at the level that I am at? Has anyone of a similar fitness level had better results one way or the other?
Any feedback would be great!
