Other-poll poll We will be purchasing either a treadmill or an elliptical machine most likely next month. I`m not sure which to get, though! Treadmill or elliptical, and why? Thanks! :)

Thanks for the input, everyone. :) And thanks for the link, April; I`ve bookmarked it to show my husband. :)

I wish I would have read this before buying my treadmill! http://exercise.about.com/cs/exercisegear/a/treadelliptical.htm

Get the elliptical!!! My hubby bought me one last year. Other then the treadmill, the elliptical works your arms as well so that`s a bonus. Plus if you get really tired and want to stop, you won`t have to worry about flying off the back :o) haha

If you want to burn major calories than get an elliptical. It`s hardcore! If you have never used one before I would get a free day pass for a gym and try it out.

I just bought a 2 in one machine for Christmas and LOVE it. Its an elliptical but has a seat so you can also use it as a stationary bike (with the handles) as well. Both work outs are awesome and Ive used it every day since buying it. Ive always been big into working out so having it in my house it convenient. Got it off Amazon.com for 99.00 (140 with s&h) and its by confidence usa.

elliptical is better for all around workout.

I would only buy an elliptical if you`ve used one before and know you like it. I know many who love them but I HATE them and SO gald I didnt waste money on one first, lol. I LOVE a treatmill much more :) So try them out to see which you use most and often and not one that will collect dust as an item you thought you`d like but hated (like me) after all ~

The elliptical is definitely quieter than the treadmill but I personally feel that the elliptical can become boring because its always the same thing. In addition, nothing can compare to the workout you get running/walking. But honestly, I am a runner so I am a little biased!

I had been wanting a treadmill for some months now. I wanted to get into the habit of walking a mile a day, and figured I`d be more likely to actually do it if I could walk/jog on a treadmill while watching TV or whatever. But then we went over to my mom`s the other day, and she`d bought an elliptical. I tried it out and thought it was kind of fun, and it was quieter than treadmills are. It seemed more fun than the treadmill, but I really want to do a good amount of walking if I get pregnant. I just don`t know which to get!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
