    In my experience the eliptical trainer burns more calories but doesn't get my heartrate up.

    But the treadmill is more cardio(gets the heartrate up) and I sweat more.

    I don't know if that answers your question.

    I use both. Some days I'll jog on the tread for 3 miles, then do 20 mins on the eliptical. Some days I'll do an hour on the eliptical and no tread. Some days I'll do 30 and 30. It just depends how intense I want to get.

    Well exercise and eating healthy are pretty much the main things. Bike riding, and swimming are both very good for you, and it's great if you live near the beach. You should also get half an hour of exercise every day, so just going jogging or walking the dog (if you have one). Get more exciting ways to lose weight here:

    The elliptical is more aerobically intense, the treadmill will work your legs, butt and back out better for more consistent toning.

    You need to exercise.. if your not overweight.. if your underweight as you say.. then your muscle need to be toned. and the only way to tone your muscles is exercise. try something like yoga or pilates, or speed walking.

    As for eating. I dont' know what you are eating now. but stick to healthy things and avoid foods that will just add fat to your body..
