Why do people use the elliptical machine over the treadmill? Is the treadmill inferior? I feel like the treadmill is a lot harder than the elliptical, just me?

      Basically this. Stationary bike is probably the best of both worlds, though.

        If there are stride imbalances or issues with knees, it can make the imbalances worse as the dominant leg will take over and control the pedals.

          I like the seated bike but keeping it even is definitely something I have to pay attention to.
          Honestly, seems like that is all it takes.

        after sitting on the bike for 30 minutes and getting up my entire ass and dick get numb
        probably bad for circulation. i guess i should do some standing pedal every few minutes?

      After 10 or at most 15 minutes on the treadmill my knees are hurting so much I have to stop, but I can do elliptical for an hour without pain.

    I run outside and run near the limits of my recovery. But at the gym I prefer the elliptical because I can go pretty intense on that that thing and not have to worry about the machines pace or misaligning the belt on a bad step or some shit. Basically less oppertunity to end up looking like a moron apart from being on an elliptical.

    I like furry porn but I don't like the fandom in general.
    I'm like "dude just give me the fap material, I don't want to dress up as an animal and play like a moron with you homosexuals".

      For me, it was male animal X human girl.
      Would shoot ropes to the stuff, especially when a horse was involved.
      Then one night after gooning to a huge tiddy anime girl getting deflowered and impregnated by a massive stallion, I felt nothing but disgust and dread over what I just took pleasure in. Wanted to throw up. I went on to delete +15 years of porn I had saved across multiple harddrives and swore to never coom again (unless I get married).

        it was fricking gross. he's like
        >mmm, my ass smells amazing
        and you can see the unhealed red dots on his hips from fat injections.

        Same here except the pipeline for me was monster -> animal -> giant insect -> vanilla -> total abstinence.

      i can frick with the furry art and even the way fursuits are made but i get no arousal from furry porn at all. it's too separated from what i like. the ones who actually larp as animals are fricking cringe though, i can't get into that

    Elliptical gives you the illusion that you're working out, when in reality the machine and momentum is doing most of the work for you. It's meant for people that hate working out and want to believe they're working out by spending over an hour on the machine.
    All that being said, it's better than nothing. Especially for fatties that otherwise do nothing. But they should strive to graduate to a stationary bike at least.

      i find the elliptical WAY more exhausting than the treadmill
      maybe im doing something wrong, i dunno
      but i could definitely walk for hours on a treadmill (i don't, its boring, but i could)
      on the elliptical, after 10 mins, im fricking wasted. i can do 20, even 30, but that's going to literally prevent me from doing anything else that day.

    why do people use machines instead of walking?

    Because if you are a 100+ kg ball of muscle and or lard, running will absolutely destroy your joints.
    These c**t-punt machines let you get in some cardio without finding a swimming pool or making you wish satan would stop pissing in your knee cap.

    Sure the elliptical isn't as good for burning calories, but it is if it allows you to run longer to compensate.

    On a treadmill or running for real, I cant sustain the action without having to slow down, due to my knees being made of powder and glass.
    I can keep a comfortable jogging pace on the elliptical for 1-2 hours easily.

      Don’t lift heavy. I never see old dudes that still look fit lift heavy. One even said that he never went past 1 plate squat and all his buddies that did 3-4 plate have terrible joints and arthritis. Perfect form is a fricking meme.

    I only use the elliptical and row machine on week days, I don't use the treadmill since I like walking outside on weekends

    It's easier on the hips + knees, and also I believe you can get your heart rate higher with less perceived effort with just increasing resistance than treadmill. Elliptical is a fricking amazing cardio machine, especially for fat fricks like me.
