Treadmill Vs Stationary bike Vs Elliptical machine

I dig down deep to find out the best out of treadmill, stationary bike (cycle) and the elliptical. So here i quote some pros and cons of these machines.

Treadmill
Pros :
It gives you of walking, jogging, running or hiking experience with variable pace.
It is effective. It burns much more calories than stationary bike.
Consistent pacing, Can set your exact pace and measure your exact distance/time.
cons :
Treadmill is boring.
If you have joint problems or undergone joints surgery (knee joints), treadmill is not your machine.
It is not good for those weighs more than 95kgs, because it will create impact on your joints on long run.
(Because the shock absorbers in treadmill won’t work)
It will not provide total body workout like elliptical machine.

Stationary bikes
Pros :
Stationary bikes are recommended for beginners or those with lower-body injuries.
It allows longer workout sessions, unlike treadmill you will not get bored.
It provides and aerobic workout.
strengthen your quads (front thighs) and hamstrings (back thighs), the anterior tibia, ankle joints and the pelvis
It helps relieve stress on the spine and discomfort in the back.
Builds endurance and stamina through longer cardio sessions.
Cons :
Stationary bikes don’t give a full body workout
You must keep good posture during any workout by keeping your body fully upright to avoid injury to the pelvis or back.
Burns the least amount of calories than elliptical or treadmill.

Elliptical
I would say elliptical is the hybrid of treadmill and the stationary bike, having great features with it.
Pros:
Elliptical machine offers a high-intensity, full-body workout (thanks to the pedals and handles).
Less stressfull on knees, back.
Uses oval motion (can go forward and backwards) to help strengthening different muscles.
Stimulates jogging and running motion.
Also reduces significant calorie levels.
Cons :
Full body motion is too difficult for beginners.
You cannot acheive without keeping the posture correct.
Low impact on legs.


All three of these cardio machines will burn calories and exercise your heart and lungs. The treadmill requires the most intensity and burns the most calories, but the elliptical and bike are low impact, which will cause future injuries. If possible, include all three into your cardio routine to reap the benefits of each machine There’s no one best way of exercising, unless it’s the one that you enjoy most because you’re more likely to keep doing it regularly.
