Yes, on the elliptical, you have a lower rate of perceived exertion, so sometimes it doesn't seem that you're getting as intense of a workout on the elliptical as you are on the treadmill. Other benefits of the elliptical:
* The Precor EFX546 elliptical has an inclining CrossRamp that simulates hill training. You alter the ramp to target different muscle groups.
* There is virtually no impact, so less potential for impact related injury.
* Like the treadmill, you can vary courses and ramps to keep your exercises interesting.
