Treadmill vs. Glider - Your Thoughts?

My husband and I are looking to get an exercise machine for our house. But we can't decide between a treadmill or a glider (ie Gazelle). Your thoughts? I'd especially like to hear the opinions of people who have one or the other. We want to use this for basic everyday fitness, nothing crazy.

if you wanna run i would recommend doing it outside as opposed to inside you get much more out of it

I always used the treadmill when I worked out at the YMCA, before I moved. Here at work, we have both (yes, my company has their own gym D)

Get an eliptical...Gliders aren't that great, and treadmills over time are really hard on the knees...

run outside and get something like a bowflex instead.

bowflex is rubbish. if the payments are high on treadmill or glider you can get a membership to something like 24hr fitness. it is 22.99 a month. they have both there and other things as well.

were do you pay that little for a 24hr gym? the least you can find in atlanta is $40

Yeah, I think it's a much better workout too. On a treadmill you don't have to push yourself forward as much. I got a cheap one but never use it.

However, it's been too hot and humid for me to run outside so I go to a gym with a small indoor track (you know, like the one ivan drago had in rocky 4 while rocky had to run outside).

If it's between one or the the other, get a treadmill. Do you really want to follow Tony Little?
