| getting on them i thought it was like stairmaster type machine - but nope - the feet things just go back and forth, not up and down. It's like cross country skiing i guess... how do i use the,? I was on the, fiddling around for a few minutes... but then someone else came in and I just got on a bike instead of looking dumb.

Sounds exactly like what you described. Slide you legs back and forth like skiing and enjoy.  |

I think once you get the hang of it (no pun intended  ) you need to hang on for dear life. The proper motion should keep you up right and on the machine. |
