treadmill or bike, which one should I buy?
im planning to purchase a cardio equipment.my goal is to LOSE FAT!!!!which do you think is better for FAT LOSS?a treadmill or an exercise recumbent bike?
which is better for FAT LOSS:
a.)hiit on the bike (this is if i purchase the recumbent bike)
b.)jogging for 30-60 minutes (this is if i purchase the treadmill)
i really like to run but i get shin splints easily(probably because of my cheap shoes -_- i should get better running shoes).i also like doing hiit on the bike rather than doing it running(i get nasty shin splints doing hiit sprinting).but everytime i do cardio on the bike it feels like its easier than jogging and this makes me think that im not burning as much fat/calories as jogging.
which one do you think should i buy?HELP PLZ im planning to buy it ASAP because the store is having a sale!!!!

I prefer the bike. You can run outside (easier than you can bike outside, especially HIIT).
Take care of those shin splints.

I would say that you need to see how you get on with running first - some people develop all kinds of niggly injuries running that the dont on a bike - however I believe running long distances quite slowly burns the most fat whilst preserving muscle -
So its more to do with whats right for YOU rather than whats RIGHT - if that makes senseI'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

Cardio via the treadmill used to be my favorite. Until of course I started developing all the problems mentioned above. Riding the bike sux to me but, no pounding on your body. I try to play raquetball once a week or so, man that is a cardio workout!

You could also purchase an actual bicycle and look at things the other way around.
