Does The Job
I don't ask much from this unit and it does everything I need it to. 1 less star for the what if factor of knowing not to tighten it too hard because of accumulated heat friction and what that can lead to.<br /><br />I use it when I watch tv and I realize I've been lying or sitting there like a log for too long. I'm using it about 15 minutes at a time and the motion is fine. I tighten it just enough so the pedals turn smoothly. Resistance isn't needed. The motion is good enough and if I want to do something I might regret later I can always use my leg weights.<br /><br />I exercise with weights and running as much as I humanly can, but even then I find myself doing nothing for hours each day. This seems like a good workaround for when my metabolism has no option but to creep along.
