Had to try it out as soon as I got it. Wow, it actually feels like a workout! Keep knees slightly bent. Feels great %26 really feels like you have had a work out!!! Well made, everything you need is right in the box. Ready to use! Not too loud %26 very easy to figure out the controls. This little nobs on the place you stand gives that extra massage on your feet...and helps grip it better, too. You can feel it working in your muscles. This is way better than I thought it would be. Recommend this item!! If you're wanting to feel better, look better %26 sleep better.... this may just be what you're looking for!!! Going to get back on it... lol I already feel a bit better!!!
