Do doctors more positively review elliptical trainers or treadmills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: Both are great for cardiovascular exercises. Their is not a general consensus among doctors about one being better than the other. Elliptical trainers are easier on the knee joints than a treadmill. Some elliptical machines also allow you to get an arm workout in addition to a leg workout.
