You lose the most weight from cardio. I used to run until I burned 1000 calories at the gym. About an hour straight of running at a moderately high pace. Lost about 40 lbs after half a year of doing that. Would go through about 2 bottles of water and not need to urinate because I was sweating so much of it out. but after I started to develop chronic ankle pain, I cut back on running, but kept weightlifting, and I gained almost all the weight back, despite the fact that I was still exercising quite a bit.
I've heard that ellipticals or biking are much more forgiving on your joints for cardio. Cartilage is a limited resource, best to save it for when you need it.
I really don't think this is true. What saves your joints is being a healthy weight and having a strong core, both of which running can help with.
nah they're right. i used to do 12 km a week in the elliptical. much easier on the joints than doing it on a treadmill. I was pushing 30 and the shock from the impact wrecks your joints on a treadmill versus on an elliptical. The elliptical works your muscles without producing an impact with each footfall, because your feet remain firmly planted in pedals. However I think i developed chronic ankle pain from the tops of the pedals digging in a bit
