I used to run outside on the sidewalk and also run on a treadmill in the gym a couple of years ago. After about a year both methods began bothering the underside of my knees. I never had knee problems before, so I attributed the pain I felt it to the running, either way. If I had to say, I think that the treadmills were worse for my knees with the slamming down of the lower legs onto a moving surface. Running outside if done with a perfect gait, doesn't have quite the same feel.
After I quit running, I switched up to stair climbing for cardio and I haven't looked back. Climbing stairs on a machine or a real staircase are great workouts and build up your endurance a lot. More recently, I kind of got tired of doing stair climbing and cardio in general, so I switched to a three day on, one day off, three day on weightlifting routine, so that I exercise every muscle group twice in a week rather than go M-W-F-S with cardio on Tu & Thurs which only works the muscles once per week. I have gained some size and dropped some fat and I don't miss doing cardio at all.
