I am planning to get a cardio exercise equipment. But I could not decide which would be better. A treadmill or an exercise bike. What brands of these equipments are good but affordable.

I recently bought a treadmill. I used to go out to the park in the evenings after I get back home, and go jogging for about thirty minutes. That's very refreshing and relaxing. With the winter coming, and evenings getting very windy, I can't go jogging these days. So, that's why I bought a treadmill to do exercizing in the evenings.

greenline ..good to know..I have considered a treadmill but not sure. Now I dance to music for exercise. It seems a treadmill would be wonderful exercise..walking or jogging..

strawberry1012..I would choose a treadmill. I had a stationary bike and I have had an eliptical and the Tony Little Gazelle...I grew tired of all of them. The stationary bike caused me to have knee problems..maybe I overdid it..I don't know for sure. I haven't used a treadmill but that would be my next try..

Hi there Strawberry 1012! I have used both and I prefer using the stationary bike. I don't know but I get more exercise with the bike since I easily get tired with the treadmill.

I think that I much prefer to use exercise bikes for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is much easier to store as it doesn't take quite as much space. In addition to this, it is a little less expensive to buy because the mechanics of it aren't as detailed as it would need to be if it were a treadmill. I like to place my exercise bike in front of the television and cycle whilst I am watching the news. I can also read a book while I am cycling, but it is much harder to be able to do this if I am running, because you wouldn't be able to concentrate enough to be able to stand on the treadmill.

For me, I would rather choose an exercise bike because it is not space consuming and much cheaper. I go for practicality. The fact that both of them has good effects for the body and same actions for the body too. happy exercising

I think both equipment is beneficial to us in their own ways. For me,I prefer the stationary bike.
