Quiet treadmill? Eliptical?

[Winter]

Is there such a thing.

I am looking for a treadmill of good quality that is quiet. Also one that has build in workouts.

Does anyone like an eliptical better than a treadmill. I would like to start running/jogging once a week.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Winter

I can't help you with the treadmill, but I do prefer elliptical trainers to treadmills. I probably use a treadmill once every two months and use an elliptical twice a week. It is a personal preference and everyone is different. The good thing about ellipticals is that you can get a high intensity workout without any impact.

I have a Precor elliptical that I use at least 2-3 times a week. It is whisper quiet, which is great if I want to watch TV while I am on it.

I also have an elliptical (Horizon E30) that is very quiet. Right now my parents have it and I don't think I'll be getting it back ;-) If you are looking to buy one, you HAVE to go to the store to try it out. Ellipticals all have very different 'feels' to them, if you know what I mean, and since my local rec center got new ones, I can't use them anymore because they have an awkward motion for me and I don't like it. So you need to try it out to make sure it has a path that is comfortable for you.
