Walking vs. elliptical training: Which gives you more bang for your effort? The elliptical works your buttocks and thighs more, while walking works your calves. And walking is a better weight bearing exercise if you are looking to improve bone strength. However, when it comes to burning calories, the two are essentially the same. So if your brisk walk feels less tiring than a session on the elliptical machine, pick up the pace; or alternatively, dial up or down the resistance on the elliptical machine.
