running, when i run on the treadmill, say i burn 300 calories.
since everyone says running gives you the quickest results, would i not get the same results if i go on the elliptical and burn 300 calories?
and what are other really effective ways to lost weight quickly.
i wanna weigh like 115 by july, and i'm 150 now.

it kind of depends. running is generally more of a cardio/fat burning exercise. yes, it does build leg muscles, but an elliptical would probably build more muscle. if you're aiming to physically be smaller and lose weight at the same time, i think running would be your best choice, though you can trade off between running and the elliptical (which is good too). they say swimming is the best exercise, and i say that running is second to that. so if you want to, do the treadmill one day and the elliptical the next. if you trade off, it will be easier to tell which one is better for you. if you eat really healthy, i think your target weight loss is reasonable. ]
You will probably get the same results; it just may take a little longer to burn those calories.
Make sure you eat right, because if you dont you will be doing all this work for nothing. Excercise for 45 minutes every day, and try to run for 20 minutes at least 2x a week.
good luck,and i hope you achieve your goal! ]
