Treadmills aren't a waste of money.....just use treadmills that arent yours. Running outside is the best, but hey....if u got a gym membership, use theirs on a rainy/snowy day.....plus its good to have a running machine that can control incline.

Problem for me with elliptical, it seems that the machine seems to do most of the work. And the arm excercises on an elliptical seem meaningless.

Not sure if its a big impact on knees, but stair treadmills are awesome. Not the stairmasters, but those machines that really make you climb stairs. You don't have to go fast to make your heart rate go.
