This is my second recumbent bike and after only having it 3 weeks I regret that it was not my first. It's a solid, sturdy machine that gives me what I know in my muscles is an authentic workout. My first bike was easy to use, creaky, and gave me the impression that because my legs were moving I was getting a workout. Oh, was I fooled. Granted, it was cheaper. My regrets lie in the facts that I could have been working out on a machine like the one I have now and the progress I've missed out on.

Use it 4-5 days a week approximately 40-45 minutes per work out. Great for leg strength training, aerobic fitness and core development.

Easy assembly and sturdy. Just getting. Back into a regular fitness routine and needed a new elliptical. Definitely worth it compared to my prior machine which was more expensive years ago. Love the compactness. I'm a minimalist when it comes to bells and whistles on screen so it works perfect for me.

After 11 operations / surgeries (3 major inc. organ transplant, and pancreatic cancer) over past 8 yrs - this is the best unit to use - especially when you can't be alone walking outside due to medical issues. Even just starting out @10/min 2x per day and increasing from there is all you need to start recovery and get back in shape slowly.

I try to ride a little every day and work my way up in time and resistance. It's SO easy to use and operate. It's VERY quiet so I can ride while watching tv! It keeps a log of my past uses also. Its seriously an overall fantastic bike that is also comfortable and easy on my joints and back! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this bike!

Using it at least 3 times a week. Plan on ramping up resistance level every other week. Then switching programs to help stay in shape and have versatility working with different programs.
