I'm glad to see someone thinking about aesthetics in home workout equipment. It's not the most important consideration to me but I like for the things I live with to be beautiful.

On the down side, it looks like the stride length is a bit short. #mobia

I think the idea of #trainingzones is misleading, and discouraging for a lot of people. Any level of physical exertion will result in increased calorie burning, but shooting for a certain heart rate often results in slow and boring workouts.

Strength training combined with high intensity intervals is less boring, and in my experience more effective.

Cardio machines like this are great if you are the kind of person that can deal with the monotony and boredom. But with the price-tag that comes with these machines you're better off grabbing a gym membership (at this price point you could go for years and still come out on top.)

I'm not a physical trainer, but I swim for my college, and I'm training for a triathlon in the spring. #mobia

@eagles3 speeeedin: You're a swimmer and a triathlete - keep in mind that we are talking about regular people here who are probably out of shape and have little time or motivation to exercise. #mobia

I've got priorities. If I had an extra hundred grand, it would first to go the construction of an actual submarine.
