i love this man! i'm a tiny bit nervous about using this at the gym (i think because i'm so new to it) but he's so jolly lol

[cooldudethegreatspy]

he didnt say whether to lift the feet a little bit or not while exercising which was my doubt :(

@cooldudethegreatspy

I love this machine and personally, I lift me heels ever so slightly when bringing my feet up, as you would when walking. Everyone at the gym does this, maybe because its more efficient and comfortable than keeping you feet flat. Hope this helps lol.

Doesn't he remind you of "The Bear" from American Pie 3?

I've been doing this at home, it's been great and a lil challenging,lol but I always remember to stand straight and keep it moving

I have one of these and have started using it again. I notice though that both my feet seem to end up at the front and I have to reposition my feet every few minutes. Beats running, so easy on the knees, and I wear a knee brace with pain when i do not wear it. No pain on the machine.

@smartbroke No idea, pal. But I start sweating a lot when going past 35 minutes, specially during the summer.

[smartbroke]

how many calories would it burn on 45 minutes?

I too would desperately like to know the answer to cooldudethegreatspy's question.
