Do elliptical machines work the same range of motion on the lower body as treadmills? This is important to us because range of motion is a concern for those planning to achieve a good lower body workout. An elliptical provides a smoother motion when compared to a treadmill. However, the range of motion is not as great as a treadmill. Which method is preferable for those planning to get a good lower body workout? .
