I can understand that it might make working out easier, especially for people that may be overweight. This might help out their knees and other areas but I think there is a large downside to this piece of equipment as well. I imagine that this machine will have smaller results than actual walking or running and this would discourage someone that is new to training or someone that is trying to lose a lot of weight.
