This elliptical isn't a challenging cardio machine. It's actually pretty easy even when I max out the resistance level. I had some resistance tubes laying around and attached them to the legs to see what would happen. It worked! It's still not very challenging but I felt it in my legs much more. I'll see what happens when I add more tubes next time.

I mainly bought it because it was around $100.00 and I wanted a light form of cardio to warm up the body before I lifted. I do 10 minutes of the elliptical, 5 minutes of jump rope, and stretch the body part being worked.

BTW I'm watching my kids ride bikes outside so when you hear me yell "car" it was to let my kids know to move to the side and not because I like yelling the obvious....
