Gazelle vs. Treadmill



Recommended Posts

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 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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
