This product was pretty much what I expected. It was not too difficult to assemble. However, it should come with some lubricant for the belt, it was a bit “jerky” at the beginning. After using some lubricant on the belt it was much smoother.

- Extremely unstable. Hard to walk on the belt. Additionally, I get static shocks from holding on to the metal bars on the sides therefore I need to grip the rubber part on top but that makes walking even more unstable. It is not a “smooth quiet operation” as the ad states. I will return the item. I wish I had not thrown away the box. I know I will never use it now. It is a waste of time and money.
Rating: 1 / 5 - I am sooo glad I got this inexpensive manual treadmill instead of an expensive motorized one. I put it together in about half and hour. Its a little more of a workout than walking on a level surface (you’re walking slightly uphill all the time) so be prepared to stretch your calf muscles after using it. I also like how light and portable it is. I can push it out of the way easily when I’m not using it (though folding it up IS a little harder than they claim it is). I can also shift it easily to watch t.v. while I’m working out, or shift it in another direction and look out my picture window instead (you can jog on it, too). It also takes up a lot less floor space than the huge motorized ones. The metal and rubber surface area that you walk on is less stressful to your joints than walking on concrete or asphalt-there’s a little bit of ‘give’ to it. I didn’t think I’d use the little computer console, but its kind of fun to see how fast you’re walking and how many calories you’ve burned when your done. I also don’t have to keep checking my pedometer to see how far I’ve gone. The clock is ‘off’ though, it’ll tell you you’ve walked for five minutes when you’ve walked only about three minutes. Also, when putting it together, they forgot to include the screws that hold the computer console onto the handlebars. However, when I called them about it, I immediately was on-line with a courteous REAL person, and they mailed the missing screws to me promptly (in about three days). My treadmill came pre-lubricated, but after a couple of weeks of use I noticed it was ’sticking’ a little. I lifted up the belt in a few places and just sprayed on some WD-40, and I was gliding along again just fine.
Rating: 5 / 5 - I am person that the package is always missing some parts, the directions are not clear, and I can never get the darn thing assembled in a reasonable amount of time, not so with this product and assembly was a snap! Great product and needed no belt adjustments right out of the box. The slight elevation gives a good workout for someone my age of 66 years old. I am more than completely satisfied with this product. I don’t recommend this product for running but for slow to medium to a brisk walk this is excellent. Good job Amazon for offering this treadmill.

- Posture Exercise Ball Aeromats Pilates Fitness Ball – Size
I love the foam ball.But this exact product can be found by searching for “Pilates Fitness Ball” or “Pilates Exercise Ball” or “Posture Ball” in a variety of price ranges. I think this is not the cheapest option.

I love using this product. Using this product brings more stabilizer muscles into every movement. It is also excellent for core strengthening, and improving balance. A little pricey, but built like a tank. Just wish the included video had a little more variety. Several better videos are available on Amazon.

It’s a great way to tone and build core strength and there are so many exercises you can use it for. I highly recommend getting one.

There is nothing wrong with this product, it’s just that I meant to order bao-ding balls (a tennis elbow thing) & not ben-wa balls (a sex thing).
