I have become unable to walk anywhere and found myself getting very stiff but since using this machine my legs are getting the movement they used to from the comfort of my home.
As a busy professional with limited time for traditional workouts, I was on the hunt for a convenient and effective way to incorporate exercise into my daily routine. This machine has turned out to be an absolute game-changer! With its remarkable features and user-friendly design, it has become my go-to fitness companion for staying active and healthy.
One of the standout features of this elliptical machine is its adjustable speeds, which cater to users of all fitness levels. Whether I want a gentle pedal while working or a more intense workout during breaks, the Rollingsurfer has me covered. I can easily control the intensity using the included remote, making it incredibly convenient.
The seated pedal design is a true blessing, especially for someone like me who spends long hours at a desk. I can exercise without leaving my seat, effectively engaging my leg muscles and burning calories. The smooth and quiet operation ensures that I can pedal away without causing any disturbance to my colleagues or family members.
The portability of this elliptical trainer is a huge advantage. Its compact size allows me to place it under my desk effortlessly when not in use. I can even take it with me on business trips, ensuring I stay committed to my fitness goals no matter where I am. It has made a remarkable difference in my sedentary lifestyle, encouraging me to embrace a more active and dynamic routine.
The assembly process was a breeze, and the user manual was clear and concise. Within minutes, I had it up and running, ready to embark on my fitness journey. The sturdiness of the machine is impressive, and I feel secure and comfortable while using it.
In conclusion, the Rollingsurfer has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its versatility, comfort, and ease of use have transformed the way I approach fitness. I highly recommend this elliptical trainer to anyone seeking a convenient and effective solution for incorporating exercise into their daily lives. It’s a quality product that has made a positive impact on my overall well-being!
Ideal piece of equipment to exercise your legs if u spend a lot of time sitting down, either when u are working or if u dont have the strongest legs but still want to keep fit. U can use it only when u are sat down, it cant be used while standing up. There are 3 automatic programs & a manual setting where u can change the direction & choose from 5 speed levels. The LCD touch screen shows u the speed, how many steps u have taken, distance covered & how many calories u burnt in the amount of time shown. It has a remote control so u can adjust it to your preferred settings without needing to bend down to push any buttons. I like that its very quiet so can be used without bothering other people while u sit down at work or to watch TV etc. Its easy to move around with the carry handle & weighs less than 7kg. U do need to have it plugged into the mains for it to work but the cable is long enough so its not been a problem to reach sockets. I think its a great device to keep your muscles in shape while being gentle on your joints. It didnt need any assembly, it can be used as soon as u get it out of the box.
I’m 71 and my Mom is 89. We find this an excellent way to keep from getting stiff. We have issues as to walking in the street or gym. This works great. Do it at home. I prefer a straight back chair.
Este aparato es esplndido particularmente para las personas con linfedema en las piernas, y especialmennte los que estn muchas horas sentados en un escritorio. Tanto se puede ejercer con el movimiento variable elcrico sin preocuparse y as activar la circulacin de la linfa, como usar el propio esfuerzo sin la electricidad para ayudar a fortalecer los muslos. Se usa sentado en una silla apoyando los pies no de pie encima. Un 10.
No me han custado las instrucciones son un poco liosas por lo dems bie
Mquina de pedalear con motor y diferentes velocidades. Se puede usar descalzo o con zapatillas. Puedes pedalear hacia adelante o hacia atrs. La tengo en los pies de la mesa del despacho para ponerme cuando paso muchas horas sentada. Tiene diferentes velocidades y lleva mando, aunque su uso es muy intuitivo con los botones de la propia mquina. tienes que tener un asiento cmodo. Yo me siento en una silla grande con respaldo y muy importante, que no lleve ruedas si no te vas hacia atrs. Es perfecto para hacer ejercicio de manera inconsciente y activar un poco tu cuerpo cuando pasas tantas horas sentada.
I love it, i put it under the table while im working so i can stay active at all time. I work from home and so not getting enough of exercise has always been my concern. this is great cuz basically im active for at least 8 hours a day. very easy to operate as well
Esteticamente ed a primo impatto sembra n pi e n meno uno stepper ma questa macchina si utilizza in modo diverso. E’ infatti uno stepper da utilizzare da seduti per poter fare ginnastica passiva. E’ molto rilassante e gi dopo i primi minuti si possono avvertire le gambe pi leggere. Va bene sia per chi ha ridotta capacit motoria ma vuole comunque fare movimento sia per chi a fine allenamento vuole rilassarsi e defaticare le gambe. Ha il telecomando, oltre ai pulsanti sul macchinario, ed molto semplice da utilizzare.
Paso mucho tiempo sentado trabajando en mi escritorio y esta mquina elptica me ha venido perfecta para poder hacer ejercicio sin moverme del asiento. Ahora puedo quemar caloras mientras trabajo o veo la tele!
Es muy prctica, ya que la puedes poner debajo de cualquier mesa, o cuando ests en el sof y te ayuda a ejercitar las piernas. No solo viene bien para la musculatura, sirve para activar la circulacin. Esto es muy aconsejable para personas mayores o de movilidad reducida.
Tiene velocidades ajustables, varios modos, funciones, direccin y viene con un prctico mando a distancia, lo que significa que puedes elegir la intensidad de tu entrenamiento sin tener que interrumpir tu trabajo o lo que ests haciendo. Adems cuenta con un casillero para alojar el mando y un asa para transportarla con comodidad.
En definitiva, se ve una elptica de buena calidad con unas funciones y un tamao ideal para lo que necesitaba.
I had a complete knee revision this past August, and I still experience a lot of pain. However, when I use the elliptical machine, I find my leg pain improves with the exercise that it provides. I give it a 5-star rating.
Since working from home I find it really hard to get up and moving and find myself sat at my desk all day. This is perfect for helping me get some exercise in while working. Slot’s easily under my desk and isn’t heavy at all if I need to move it somewhere else
I have just started to use it using the remote I have not been able to change direction easily . the other thing so far is , using P1 P2 P3 Etc the speed seems to be preset at very slow pressing the relevant button I was not able to change speed , otherwise it is a sound machine.
If you suffer from circulation issues or joint pains which prevent you from exercising, but you really could do with getting your heart and blood moving around, then this mini elliptical machine might be exactly what you need; it is lightweight enough to move around to where you need it; it is extremely easy to use (the remote control makes it even easier); it is relatively good value for money compared to similar options, and it’s compact enough to neatly tuck away when not in use.
As for the actual ‘exercise’, this is really meant for people who have mobility issues/arthritis/injuries, etc., it – funnily enough – isn’t going to magically help you drop 20lbs for summer if you’re slumped on the couch, eating crisps whilst using the elliptical on the lightest setting…it is primarily to help those who have difficultly doing more conventional exercise, such as walking/cycling, etc..
It serves it function well, as it is helping the person I purchased this for by giving their joints some adjustable resistance training and way of keeping some degree of exercise whilst mostly immobile as they recover from an leg/ankle injury. The remote control is extremely handy and gives you one less excuse not to have a go, as you can adjust the trainer without having to make your pain even worse by bending and stretching in a way you want to currently avoid.
Soy una persona con parlisis cerebral infantil, con movilidad reducida y muchos problemas en msculos y articulaciones. Prob un mini pedaleador manual, y por mis condiciones fsicas, no era capaz de pedalear.
Compr este producto sin mucho convencimiento en que me pudiera mejorar realmente en algo, pero tras unas pocas semanas de uso, me ha sorprendido. No puedo pedalear de forma manual tampoco (me refiero a sin la ayuda del motor), pero con la ayuda del motor, es una maravilla. Ya he notado menos rigidez en el tendn de Aquiles izquierdo (es la izquierda la pierna ms afectada), y hasta mayor fuerza en las piernas para permanecer de pie un poco ms tiempo (no aguanto ms que un par de minutos habitualmente si me quedo quieto).
Es pronto para saber cuanto de efectiva puede llegar a ser, pero de momento he empezado por una sesin al da de 30 minutos al da, jugando con las velocidades 4 y 5. Marcha adelante y marcha atrs… De momento no he notado dolor alguno, pero si en tan poco tiempo, ya he notado mejora, que ser cuando ample el nmero de sesiones diarias… No es muy ruidosa.
Para poder hacer uso de ella, tengo que pasar unas correas, o cinturones para sujetar los pantalones, por los pedales para atarme los pies y no se me muevan. Pero encantado con la compra. La recomiendo sin dudarlo.
My first attempt to stand on it did not go as planned. I suggest sitting first and adjusting the tension before you attempt to stand. I can now say I am proficient doing it both ways! It makes me feel less guilty when sitting when I am moving my legs. I can that feel my legs and joints are more loose!
Great for when the weather is bad and you can’t get out. Even for the elderly, especially if they are a fall risk. Simply have them sit and peddle. It’s a very smooth glide and you don’t have to have any resistance at all if you don’t want.
Overall, a great purchase! I would recommend to others and I would purchase again!
I thought Id wait a couple of week before writing my review after reading a few negative comments previously.
This item is absolutely fabulous, I struggle to carry anything or walk very far, I was expecting the bike to be very heavy so was surprised how light it was, Ive found it easy to carry from one room to another with no problems, I cant even carry my shopping or washing around the house so this should give you an indication of light it is. Having recently been diagnosed with arthritis and due to other health issues Im struggling to get very far so bought this to help prevent my knees from seizing up. Its easy to operate, I sat on the kitchen chair popped my feet on and it does the job for me, if i have the strength I can push myself still with some assistance from the motorised action, so on my bad days its still keeping me moving without the pain and pressure placed on my knees when standing and trying to walk. So far Im enjoying using this because I do feel its helping keeping my moving even though Im sat, not sure if it will help with weight loss but its great to help with stiffness and getting my bones moving.
Easy to use and does you good .Legs are a lot stronger with little effo
I bought this for my mum who is in her eighties and she really likes it she uses it for half hour at a time the only thing is the handle isn’t balanced right so when you pick it up it falls to one end and if your in your eighties that could make it more awkward to move about .
A very simple and easy way to help you with your fitness,my wife has parkinsons and finds this helps her keep her legs movements
I bought this because I have no space for one of these fitness bicycles.
After talking to a fried who owns this already, I bought it here for a reasonable
price in comparison with nearly identical items ( they have just a different name).
It is quite and easy to control. The speed 01 is very relaxing, while speed 5 is very
fast.
I suffer from several health problems including weak joints. I am very happy to
move without the weight on my joints and the opportunity to change the speed.
That means (IMHO) I am able to practice HITT. That’s amazing!
I really felt the impact after a very short time up to my ribs. But I didn’t get muscle
pain the next day, which was a surprise for me.
I gave 4 stars due to the power cable that switch of quite easily and there is not mat which
should be included as in the instruction flyer described.
I recommend this product to everyone who has no space for bigger equipments and
some health issues with their legs, hips and joints.
I bought this to increase my leg movement and muscle tone in my legs after a long period off work due to an illness.
I was advised that I needed to take regular walks to get my muscles toned up, this in turn was to help move the blood from my legs back to heart better.
But its winter, its cold, and who the heck wants to go for a walk in the cold!
so, it’s a no brainer, I can even put it under my desk and do twenty mins or forty mins while on a zoom call or running a training vide for work.
If I have one niggle, when you turn it on and start, it always starts going backwards, it’s no big deal you can reverse the direction from the remote control but as I said it’s a niggle, if I am really picky I would say that for me the speed setting 3, for me is not fast enough and at this early stage it’s a bit too fast to start at 4.
So that’s it for now.
By the way I have a suggestion for you, I find that the cable is a bit short unless I have it under my desk, but if I use it somewhere else the cable is too short on its own and I always end up using an extension cord, if you can find one the correct length for your favourite spot, buy it and leave it plugged in ready to go.
I have very swollen congested painful legs and find walking painful, I have for sometime wanted an elliptical
Trainer and finally on Black Friday I decided to order the Rollingsurfer, when it arrived the cable was missing,
I contacted the seller and Sandy could not have been more helpful, the cable was sent by Fed Ex express.
It was worth the wait, it is wonderful to sit in my chair and use the Rollingsurfer , no effort is needed , I get the much needed exercise Painlessly,Wonderful. Thank you Sandy!
I love this machine, I had however bought this for my daughter who lost the use of her legs thinking this’ll help physio wise but unfortunately her feet did keep slipping off maybe add a wee strap or something to keep feet in place. Other than that it would have been 5 stars all round
Works like a charm on my dependent edema from sitting in a wheelchair all day
It does the job but it doesn’t run smoothly. For some reason it always want to start in reverse. It does work and helps relieve my leg pain.
This is a tool needed to be in every home expecially if you are the type that works from home.
It is very easy to assemble and easy to use on the go. It has a remote control that help control it automatically. It can easily be used while sitting down and very comfortable and help blood circulation which je amazing.
I am so pleased with this and will recommend it.
I purchased a manual one of these for my mother and she used it daily to keep her moving. Once I got this one, I also gave it to her because since it was electric, it would be easier to use and boy was I right. She absolutely loves it and is much more effortless to use. It is sturdy and durable and screams well made. No worries about it slipping and sliding around because it is quite stationary. The pedals fit her shoes well and she now uses it twice a day verse the once a day previously. It is well worth the money
I use it and hour or 2 daily. My balance is improving
I purchased this as my teenage son suffers with severe anxiety & unfortunately can’t leave the house so he doesn’t get any exercise so thought this would be perfect to keep his legs moving. It’s easy to set up & not as heavy as i thought! I’ve put it under his desk so when he’s doing school work etc he can exercise his legs as well as his brain! It’s a brilliant purchase and I’m thinking of getting one for myself also!
Some people have taken to working from home better than others. I favour a standing desk approach, whilst my other-half prefers to sit. Getting them to stay active and get up from time to time is more of a challenge, so this under-desk elliptical machine has been a great addition to their setup. It could be just as effective in rehabilitation and physio as it can keep someone going and ensure joints and limbs are not wasting away.
It can be operated from the convenience of a remote control – which is handy and quite practical if you’re going to have it sat under a desk. Although saying that the display is at the top end of the unit itself so if you’re wanting to tell what setting you’ve got it on and it’s located under your desk, you might find yourself craning down to see it. A more thorough and visual remote control would be a solution there.
The range of elliptical motion is somewhat limited – a consequence of the small form factor – so don’t expect it to work miracles and give you a long stride length like a proper full-height elliptical machine or actual walking, but as a compact means of getting some mobility and circulatory legwork done whilst in a seating position this does a fair job.
In operation it seems pretty quiet so you can happily carry on undistracted by any noise.
It is not the lightest of objects – but then the weight is more of an asset in ensuring it doesn’t wander off when in use. There is a carry handle, but if you plan on having this used by an elderly relative then you might want to be sure it is positioned in a location that they won’t have to move it too much.
It doesn’t offer anything in the way of connected functionality – i.e. pairing up to fitness trackers or anything.
For a price of c. 160 that feels ok for what you’re getting. There are certainly more expensive units on the market that offer more range of movement and more functionality, but for what you’re getting this feels pretty good.
First, this is an excellent product that performs just like it says it will. It is easy to assemble and is very quiet. It is so much better than a bicycle. My upper body is not moving around and inhibiting my work at my desk. The elliptical motion is smooth and body movements are confined to muscle areas below my wasit/under my desk.
Overall, heavy, well-built, high-quality device is addicting to use. it burns calories. Little pricy but worth it. Reccomend.
This is easy to set up. Got a handle which makes it easy to move around/carry if you need to put it away or take it with you. I like being able to keep my legs moving when I’ve got things I need to sort while sitting down. It’s even good to use in the evening once you’re sitting down watching tv. I have found my ankle get achy more now though, I’ve got a weak ankle. But I love this.
This elliptical machine is ideal for working from home, soft exercise for the elderly or immobile or just general use by anyone!
It feels very smooth when using it. It doesn’t jolt or feel grindy – it runs nicely and feels good quality.
It’s also very quiet. I don’t know what level of noise I expected but I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is. This is definitely ideal when working from home on the phone / video call as no one will hear it
It has an LCD display which shows the selected mode. The display can show you time, speed, counter and calories. It also has a remote for you to select the different speed / function etc.
Would be good for the elderly or people not very mobile or even those recovering from injury to get moving again. It’s nice and gently and no pressure on the joints.
My feet felt sturdy and secure once in position and they didn’t slip off.
Overall I would highly recommend this machine to anyone working from home, elderly or immobile, those recovering from injury or just anyone wanting to get moving. Great machine and definitely worth the money.
My elderly mother in law uses this and she loves it. It’s small and easy for her to use. Nice and quiet and the motion is smooth. She loves that it has a remote and she can set it to auto to have it help her with keeping her legs moving. Keeps track of all the relevant data like time, distance, etc. This would be perfect under a desk at work also. Good price for a solid small elliptical.
I spend quite long periods of time hunched at a the coffee table or just sitting. Quite often I’ve been concerned that I haven’t been getting enough exercise. It has felt like my ankles might be swelling. I worry about Deep Vein Thrombosis or just fluids not draining properly. I’m confident that this is helping avoid such things happening.
I’ve been using this device and it DEFINITELY HELPS. After using this for a while I feel supple and light. Kind of the opposite of having sat with the sofa digging into the back of my legs.
Whilst it’s quite large it’s quite a pleasant object and the handle on top makes for easy moving. Strangely the moulded handle isn’t quite at the balance point but it’s not far off.
The remote sits, handily, in it’s own little recess when not in use.
The information provided by the readout is great for keeping me motivated and also to ensure I don’t get carried away. I love to measure things and I like to have more data to consider. This thing informs.
I particularly like the reverse direction. It feels the best and surprisingly natural.
If you can find a handy space for it I feel this is worth making room for.
Although it is an exercise machine I’m finding it extremely relaxing to be honest, seating at my desk and having my legs moved up and down by the machine. Plenty of setting with various of speeds but I really like the direction change, it can goe forward or backward which is really nice. Again extremely relaxing and pleasure to use.
The first thing I noticed when using the Elliptical machine was how quiet and smooth it runs.
There are various functions and speeds that the user can select and the onboard display clearly shows the selected mode. You can choose from Scan, Time, Distance, Speed, Counter and Calories.
Using the supplied remote makes the operation of the exerciser very simple. I have enjoyed using the exerciser over the last few days and recommend it to anyone wishing to keep their legs mobile and your blood flowing. Ideal for the elderly and office workers and also for strengthening your legs, thighs and calf’s following an injury. I have broken my leg recently and found it very beneficial for rehabilitating my injury back to normal functioning.
I have tried to get the exerciser to run faster than intended, but found the machine puts the brakes on and automatically switches off… this is a built-in feature to prevent damage to machine , and also strain on the muscles and joints as well as being safer for the user.
The pedals are comfortable and I have felt confident my feet are firmly fixed to the pedals and did not slip at any speed, either forwards or backwards. A great machine. Excellent in every way.
This machine keeps me active at all times, whether I’m at the desk or watching TV. Has 5 speed settings and changes direction. Has a little screen that tells you things like count, calories, distance and time. Also includes a remote control to change settings. Reasonably easy to carry and simple to use. Would recommend to someone who doesn’t manage to get much exercise in or even for the elderly.
very pleased with this item ideal for the older and people with reduced mobility lightweight and very quiet with 5 speed settings you can go at your own pace with the electric motor doing most of the work a good workout for legs and thighs. i would thoroughly recommend this machine.
Like many people I moved remote from the office at the start of Covid and have been more recently hybrid working, so needless to say there’s a lot of time at my home desk. This is where this device comes in really well as I’ve noticed that I do a lot more moving around in the office than I do at home- this device now evens it out a little.
Comes all set up and ready to go (which is great), with a simple manual if needed (although you really don’t need it) and a handy little remote (batteries not included).
It is simple to use- literally does exactly what is says so that you can get your steps in whilst sat at your desk.
The remote allows you to change speed so you can do a bit of a faster workout if needed or just keep it at one pace.
Compact design with handy carry handle for transporting this or moving it into storage once finished with. I haven’t got loads of under desk space with my desk boxes, but this didn’t take up much room at all.
Appears well designed and sturdy, which I’d expect for its price range. I equally expected this to be really noisy but it really isn’t- it does not distract you when working.
I’m slightly unsure of the nearly 160 price tag with it being designed to do just one type of exercise, however I do genuinely see the value in it, especially when working from home and spending more time at home.
Overall been pleased with this and happy to recommend.
I got this for my wife to use as she suffers with bad circulation. It’s easy to use, plug it it set it up and sit down. It has 5 modes and can be used in both directions, forward and backwards. Reasonable light weight so can be moved about with ease and it is also reasonably compact, so can be stored under a chair or desk.
First impressions do not disappoint it’s a very well packed machine comes made up brilliant .
However you do need to supply batteries for the remote control and the instruction manual is quite basic but there’s not a lot to this for exercising .
I like that you can decide how long how fast and how many steps do you want to take with this machine the only thing I need to remember is don’t stand up this is for sitting down only very good I can do this while watching TV .
I like the carry handle means I can carry round the room or from room to room put away when I finished with these very good .
Except for my legs working you don’t know this machine is on as it is so quiet very good I’ve even used it during a conference call .
I like how I can change to speed so I can start off slow speed up and then slow down and I don’t have to use the display really like using the remote control brilliant .
Mode settings are quite basic giving you speed counter calorie count time and distance there’s no set programs you just work at your own pace each session is for 30 minutes and then you have to reset and start again brilliant
Very happy with the price 160 for me to do my steps while I’m working at the same time seen how many calories I’ve lost I am very impressed.
I’ve been using this machine for the past few days and so far I’ve been impressed with it. The machine is easy to set up and use andbeing an “under the desk” elliptical machine, its quite compact . A such this is a good option to keep your legs moving while sitting down for a long duration during the day either at home or at the office.
The machine has 5 speed levels and is easy to adjust via the remote control., which itself is intuitive and easy to use. The machine can also be used in both directions to give you a full workout and help the blood flow and its large foot pads mean you can use it with or without shoes.
Overall this is an easy to use, easy to set up machine that can be transported with ease and offers great benefits. I would certainly recommend it!
I’ve been loving this while watching TV. Keeps my legs going and while it does take a while, it CAN make you a little sore! I imagine if you use this enough, it could make a slight difference, although I think it’s more for movement than actual exercise.
Any weight, besides feet, applied to it will slow it down. You simply rest your feet on it and let it do all the work.
I do like this elliptical–although, it’s really more of an under-desk exercise bike than a true elliptical machine. It took me a bit to get the hang of how to make it work. Effectively, you need to hit the button one more time once you think it’s ready to accept what mode you want it to be on. I pretty much use the remote control instead of the buttons on the actual machine itself.
Make sure you’ve got a chair with adjustable height settings. If you use this too low or too high it could be uncomfortable.
The different modes are nice and a good change of pace. The machine itself does a good amount of the work for you–like…you could literally just set your feet on it and let it do its thing. Because of this BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE PETS AT HOME–I don’t trust my cat getting too close to it while it’s turned on because the pedals will continue to move whether your feet are on them or not. If you choose to also use your muscles in addition to the machine itself, you will feel it.
Easy to transport. Does not come with a separate anti-slip mat so I assume that feature is just built into the bottom of the machine itself.
This thing has saved my life my legs kill me when I lay down at night! I have used it for a week and I can my legs quit hurting! Am so happy I bought it!
EDIT: The smell went away after a couple of days. I works really well and was a good buy.
I want to love it, but when I unpacked it there was a major chemical smell. I let it sit out and it dissipated, when I used the machine however the smell came back. I am letting it sit again and will let it run next to an open door and see if it makes the smell leave, if not… it goes back.
Great product! Absolutely love it! Will definitely buy again in the future!
It’s powered an quiet, so you don’t have to think about it ! Place it under your work desk. Keeps you moving for about 20 minutes, reverse it and go another 20 min! Or go all day. No serious workout, it just keeps you moving. That’s great.
I work in an office and have to do a lot of desk work and this machine helps me get moving.
I got this for my work desk to keep my legs in active. I spent 5-6 hours each day sitting in front of the computer and my joints feel stiff at times. This elliptical machine actually moves by itself. I can just rest my feet on it and let it move without spending energy. When I do want to workout, I can work it toward the same direction. There’s some resistance and I can work up a sweat if I try. I usually do 10 minute sessions and let it move me i between sets.
The machine itself is pretty lightweight so I can move it with one hand. It does have anti slip footing so it doesn’t slide around. There were sticker warning users not to stand on it. What I did was moved one of the sticker on the center of the machine just incase my coworker tries to mess with it. There are several modes for speed, power, direction, etc. Overall a really nice addition to my work desk.
This elliptical machine is really great to use when sitting behind a desk, or anytime I am sitting for a long period of time. The remote is very useful as I do not have to bend over to make adjustments. You will need to supply two AAA batteries to power the remote. The pedals are anti-slip, and comfortable to use. The motor is strong, yet very quiet when using.
I normally go for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the afternoon. I reverse the direction in the afternoon. My legs get a good workout, and this is while I would normally just be sitting there. The speed is adjustable. For now, I keep the speed low as I am just getting used to using this. I will increase the speed very soon. My legs feel much more energized at the end of a work day due to using this elliptical.
Super easy to set up, the buttons are really nice. I love i
