Treadmill or Trampoline?

Question

I really want to lose weight. I know a girl in my school who lost a ton of weight by just jumping on her trampoline a lot. I also know that running is a great way to lose weight. I am trying to decide between getting a treadmill or a trampoline. I found a great deal for a cheap treadmill online. It got great reviews, folds up, and is cheap ($120). The only thing is I am not sure if it will be good for running. I walk a lot, and I don't lose weight, so I deffinitly need to be running. If I wanted to get either one, I don't want to blow thousands of dollars on them. Is it possible to find a innexpensive trampoline? I used to have a trampoline but we got rid of it because it had "rubber bands" instead of springs and it didn't work very well. You couldn't jump on it. So if you could try to find a innexpensive trampoline, that's be great. Links are awesome. One more thing: The trampoline has to have a net. Or it has to be able to attach a net to it, but that gets kind of expensive. And I don't want those little trampoline things they have at gyms. I want a real trampoline that I can do tricks on.

I was thinking that I should buy the trampoline and then ask for a treadmill for Christmas. Or vice versa. What do you think? And, are my ideas of a treadmill or a trampoline to lose weight good? I know that I will have to eat healthy, and I already kind of do.

Here is the link to the treadmill: http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.treadmill-20/detail/B0001KRXE0

If you can find a treadmill or trampoline, please give me the link.

Thanks in advance :) .

Answer 1

Well, you have the cheaper, less fun, burn more calories, and functions indoors (treadmill), and the more expensive, more fun, burn less calories, and doesn't function indoors unless small or have enough room (trampoline).  So if you have the money, buy the trampoline.  If you don't, then buy the treadmill.

Answer 2

I think that trampolines and tresmills both are a good form of excersice I agree that tredmills tend to be cheaper and you could use it year round but there is that fun side to having a trampoline ,I would suggest trying craig's list or maybe even ebay and if you find a good deal..buy it and then see after that if you still want watever 1 you don't hav and either buy it cheap or  ask for it during a holiday
