Personal preference for me is the Elliptical. For me, it works not only for my cardio work out, but also works my arms, legs and upper back.

A elliptical trainer burns more calories, and gives you an all over body workout. It is less strain on your feet and your legs, but gives you a better workout altogether.

The best choice between elliptical and treadmill would be the elliptical machines with the arm attachments which simulate the cross-country ski machines.

from my experience I like the elliptical better. I've been doing the elliptical for an hour a day for the last 2 weeks. I tried a treadmill today and I could barely last for 4 minutes...I guess that means it works better, but atleast with an elliptical you get a whole body workout.
