Hello Beowulf,

I have a treadmill and a stair climber in my home. We never use the
treadmill and I use the stair climber daily. I can tell you that a lot of
folks don't like the stair climber because it's not a natural motion like
walking is. My experience is that you burn more calories on a stair climber
than a treadmill. Your going to get different answers from different folks,
but I like a stair climber also called a stair master. I'm able to workout
for an hour at a time and get a good sweat going as well. My calorie
counter is usually between 750 to 1000 calories when I finish.

The elliptical exercise equipment is one I've never tried, but would like
to one day. To me it's like a stair climber and a treadmill built in one
machine. and looks like it would produce more calories burned compared to a
treadmill.

I hope you find what's best for you and your goals.

What do you all find has worked best for weight loss, treadmill or
exercycle? I gotta get back into wt loss, and during cold winter months I
just can not get motivated to exercise outdoors or even drive to the gym.
I live in nothern minnesota -- very cold for several months. I figure I
can exercise while watching a movie-- but treadmill or exercycle?
Exercycle takes less concentration (won't trip and fall off like a
treadmill when watching a movie), but I suppose treadmill burns more cals?
Of course when weather warms, I love walking and hiking and
biking outdoors. Thoughts? Advice?
