With that said, there are some fundamental differences between these three due to which different people prefer different machine types. Elliptical machines provide a total body workout as they come with handles and arms to enhance upper body workout as well. On the other hand, treadmills are used specifically for running and walking. Bikes are generally compact, cheaper and allow you to be in seated position while exercising, which many find to be more comfortable allowing for a longer exercise session. The type of machine you prefer to exercise with is a personal choice.
