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. Do I just hang on best I can on the arm grip and swing my legs as if i'm skiing? I don't even know what the dang machine is called!! -------------------- The richest people don't have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

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.
