if i recall correctly gordon gekko used it in wall street 
or was it ivan drago in rocky iv?! im confused

anyone tried one? i dont even know if its available anymore, at least not where i live

it seems like a pretty good workout considering you use your whole body?

hehe it was demanding? it seem pretty tough

Use to use one in my old gym.  Gave a really good cardio workout.  Always fun watching the chubbies cheating on it by not doing full extension.

They're still around though not that popular, and are about the only thing more demanding than a stepmill.

i guess people rather sit their fat ass down on a bike while reading the morning paper

Great piece of equipment. A lot of off season football players will use this type of machine. You do not have to use the arms or any pulling motion, some guy's just use lower body. But I think you would be cheating yourself if not taking full advantage of the full cardio benefits. Interval training (Tabata for example) works exceptionally well. Something like 20 seconds max effort, 10 seconds rest than back to 20 second total effort, etc, etc, etc.. Try for 5 to 8 such cycles, maybe three to four times a week. Also affects the abs greatly. Good Luck.
