Q: Exercise — Which machine will help me lose weight faster: The elliptical or the treadmill?

A: Both machines will get your heart rate up to help you lose weight. Because these are cardiovascular machines, you're using large muscles in a rhythmic fashion. This allows you to keep your heart rate up for a long period of time which allows you to burn more calories. In order to lose weight faster, I would also add one or two days of strength training to really see results.
