This is actually my Mom's machine, but I use it more then her. (If I could only figure out how to sneak it out of her house and into mine.) I enjoy using this machine because of the ease of use. Step on the thing and away you go. The functions are easily understandable and it's nice to know how far you've gone, the calories burned and the rate your heart is beating to get to that point. It's low impact to the knees because you don't have to lift your legs just swing them back and forth as if you were skiing.
