A member asked:
Is running on an elliptical machine better than treadmill for your knees?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is less pounding or impacts on your knees. However, some people dont like the feel of the position their legs are in during the revolutions of some elliptical machines so you may need to try different types to find the one you like.
