As the two classic aerobic equipment in the fitness equipment industry, treadmill and elliptical machine can be said to be the best choice for aerobic exercise, so which is more suitable for weight loss?
1. Elliptical machine: it belongs to whole-body movement and has little damage to knee joint.
When you walk or run on the sole of your foot, the route of each step is basically an ellipse. It is a sports equipment suitable for all ages. It can exercise your whole body and has very low damage to the knee joint. It is especially suitable for people with lower limb injury or joint pain. The smooth circular motion of the ellipse machine has little impact on the joint. Because the soles of your feet will not leave the pedal when moving on the elliptical machine, just like walking in space, you can not only enjoy walking or running, but also reduce joint damage.
2. Treadmill: the exercise intensity is relatively high and the fat reduction effect is obvious.
If you want to lose weight, run first! Treadmill is an ideal choice for many dieters. It performs very well in fat reduction. A woman weighing between 57 ~ 84kg can burn 566 ~ 839 kcal of calories by exercising on a treadmill for one hour, and the fat reduction effect is significantly higher than that on an elliptical machine. In addition, the treadmill can also simulate uphill running and sprint running, and simulate outdoor running by manipulating the inclination and training program, so that you can consume more calories.
The disadvantages of the treadmill are also obvious. Running on an ordinary treadmill is very boring, which often makes it difficult for many people to keep fit, and will bring great pressure to the joints. Even experienced runners are at risk of damage to their ankles, knees and hips.
So which of these two sports equipment is more suitable for weight loss? In fact, it depends on the physical condition of the exerciser and the exercise intensity they pursue.
If you need high-intensity training, want to lose weight quickly, have high requirements for fitness effect, and want to run less boring, the treadmill is your better choice.
