Gazelle vs. Treadmill

JJinLA · July 12, 2006

Ok Guys, I am in the market for some excercise equipment. I know i love a treadmill, but i was wondering about the gazelle. I have heard it is fun to use and everything, just would like your opinions and personal experiences on all kinds of home equipment. Thanks JJ

I'd always go the treadmill, its the only thing I know I'd use consistently.

I think its because for me walking/jogging are natural motions, I dont have to think about them. I dont have to make an effort to keep up speed or resistance either, so I can concentrate on other things while I use it as the treadmill itself sets the pace. I always use an incline to more approximate outside jogging, at least 2 or 3.

Studies have shown the treadmill to be the most efficient fat burner, and the most used equipment our of all cardio machines.

Hello,

I have both and with the tredmill you get more of a workout. The gazelle is more low impact. I like the gazelle better personally.

I'd find a big rabid dog to chase me down the street. THAT's motivation.

:heh:

JJinLA,

Try it out for 30 days and then decide. I mean, buy a Gazelle on QVC. They have a 30 day, no hassle, money back guarantee on all their products. I just saw them advertising The Gazelle yesterday and it was cheaper than in the stores - even counting the S & H. If you don't like it, for any reason, you return it to QVC and they give you your money back. They even give you a UPS return label so all you have to do it pack it back up and call UPS for pick up. Easy.

That's what I'd do if I were you.

If anyone had asked me two years ago if I'd EVER watch or buy anything from QVC I would have said they were nuts. I buy stuff from them pretty regularly now. Love the money back guarantee.

I just bought the new gazelle for $200 bucks from HSN with a 20 dollar off coupon and free shipping! Get it today if you are interested!

I had a gazelle..the deluxe model...can't remember its name, but I think a treadmill is more versatile. There are things you can do on a gazelle and they do include a dvd with options, but you will soon want to run, speed up your walks, inclines, etc, and it is my opinion that a treadmill is better. In fact, if you opt to not get a treadmill, look into an elliptical. I really like those a lot better than a gazelle. I gave mine to my sister after just a short time of having it. I thought it was boring
