So I was watching FitTv the other day and one trainer in particular didn't like the fact that his client was using the elliptical trainer as her primary cardio equipment of choice. He discouraged her from using it even though she was more comfortable with it and recommended using the treadmill instead. His reasoning was that the ellipticals range of motion inst natural or useful in day to day activities.

I thought...wtf...really? I favor the elliptical because its pretty much no impact. I've never had a liking to the treadmill. But nonetheless I wanted to change up my routine a bit and break myself into working out on the treadmill despite my dislike of that machine. I haven't used a treadmill for longer then 10mins (in a very long time) and I was actually afraid of running on it. Silly I know. You know those videos you see of people falling on treadmills on tv or on youtube or something? YEAH well, I didn't want that to be me either.
