I use the elliptical. Running on the treadmill hurts my knees and ankles.

Definitely the treadmill. Probably for the wrong reasons. I find the treadmill to be a much easier workout; the elliptical is too tough for me. Hence the reason I should use the elliptical more.
ETA: I rarely run on the treadmill so that is probably a contributing factor to why I like it.

I like to switch it up, I usually do one regularly and then switch.

Re: Which would you rather use?
DO you know if it gives a better workout than say..jogging on the treadmill?

I prefer the treadmill. I think it gives me a better workout. But that might just be because I'm a TOTAL spaz on the elliptical, so I find the treadmill more manageable, and therefore work harder when I'm on it?

The elliptical - because I can't run to save my life. I only walk on the treadmill so I get a better work on the elliptical.

Ooops..I didn't see it!!
Only curious because I like the elliptical better..like someone said..it's easier on your knees..but, sometimes I feel like the treadmill gives me a better workout. I usually jog when I am on it.

This is a small picture, but this is what it is...
elliptical. I still use both, but I prefer the elliptical because the treadmill makes me dizzy (yes I know this makes no sense, but if I do anything more than brisk walk for more than 10 minutes on the treadmill I get lightheaded and dizzy)

i'm a treadmill girl... but i love running and walking . . .elliptical is great too - it's better for your joints . . . but be careful with the elliptical, they all exaggerate the calories you burn. a treadmill gives you a more accurate picture as long as you type in your weight.

I like the Arc Trainer - which according to the staff at my gym is the newest evolution of the elliptical. Before that the elliptical was my favorite.
I hate the treadmill.

I use both. I think that the treadmill gives me a better workout, but the elliptical is sweet on my joints. I usually run on the treadmill for 3 miles and then do 3 on the elliptical.

I prefer the elliptical over the treadmill. It's better on your knees. Except...my right foot always goes numb when I'm on it...
