I would not recommend this product. It looks like and functions like an elliptical, however, it is not a good exercise machine. The biggest complaint I have is the stride length which is 11" not 17" as advertised. This makes a huge difference in the exercise and makes for an unsatisfactory experience. It is a joke if you compare it to a standard gym elliptical with a stride of 18"+. The fly wheel is too light making for a very bumpy and uneven cycle. Max resistance isn't very hard.The price can't be beat. The question is: is a sub-standard exercise machine worth that much money?
