machine like a nu-step

[duge]

been a year or so ago some of us were talking about a machine called a Nu-Step we used in rehab, but they were like over 3 thousand for one. tonight I bought a thing that you push with your feet and got the arms workout too, for 2 hundred. It's a body by jake machine. but when I get it put togather I willl post a picture for others to see. I sat down on it at the store for a bit and it will give you a workout, and you can adjust the tension. It's the closest I've come across to the nu-step just not near as big and fancy but it does the same kind of excersise, and it's cheap!!!!!!

Duge, is it called a cardio cruiser?

[duge]

YEs Mike, that is it. It performed pretty much like the Nu-Step from what little time I spent on it at the store. I was sure huffing when I got off of it. Not nearly as good as the nu-step but alot cheaper and it works the same muscles. I bought it at a Sear's store

Oh, thank you! I want one! I've been thinking about getting a stationary bike for cardio, but this is even better. Both arms and legs working, for pretty much little money, and taking up about the same space. I love it!

Me too. If it doesn't have stirrups, I have to strap my feet to the peddles. I can't sit on a bike seat either. It aggravates the pain. I sit in a chair set up behind the bike at PT. I like the look of the seat on this contraption. I'm trying to plan ahead for when the PT ends.

I think I am going to have the seat made larger on it. It hurts me to sit on a narrow seat!! willl let you know how it comes out, if, if I can get someone to bring it in for me!!
