i have an elliptical at home. will run outside if it's nice, but the elliptical makes me happy b/c it's also kind of fun for me to bop around. if you don't like exercise to begin with or aren't into running, it's hard to motivate yourself to get on the treadmill at first. if you are a runner, i'd go with the treadmill b/c the high of an intense, long run can't be simulated on the elliptical. you can get tight muscles/butt with a steep incline on a treadmill. i've also never felt "in the zone/runner's high" on the elliptical. that said, i (and my knees) love my elliptical
