    Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.

    Free weights and machines are a powerful combination. Use both! A lot of exercises are hard to do without machine assistance if you're beginning (e.g. barbell chest press, pull ups), but there are machines available to simulate the movement so you can grow that strength. Ultimately free weights are always better but can cause injury with bad form.
    On a day which I focus on chest (like I did today) I did flat, incline dumb bell presses and this machine. Worked great!

    Τhis machine will isolate your chest muscles. With bench press you will also train your deltoids(shoulders), your triceps and even your biceps which are the stabilizers. The disadvantage of bench is that you have to do it with perfect technique in order to have results, while the machine "drives" you. If you have little experience prefer to use the machine. If you know exactly how to do the bench press, prefer it. I hope I helped.

    Those upward presses are great machines. Really get good work on your whole chest. The ones that go straight out without any angle are a waste of time and straight up trash. They don’t work your chest for shit. All they do is strain your shoulders. This one is the only one I like.
