Stamina Avari Conversion II Folding Rowing Machine/Recumbent Bike

I bought this about a month ago and glad that I did. I am 63 yr old female with scoliosis. Noticed my body was really getting a pronounced "S" shape and my back hurt all the time. I'm working up to more than 5 mins at a time. I can fit it in whenever, because of breaking up the time in 5 minute intervals. It works every muscle in my body. I don't do the galley row like Ben Hur, but keep my back flat to the back of the seat so it doesn't work too hard. Eventually, I'll get my muscles strong enough to do it correctly. But, after I used it for 5 mins the FIRST time I noticed that I could stand up straighter, and the curl in my left hip was easing up. It's going to take time to get the scoliosis uncurled but the pain in my right hip is gone. It used to hurt just sitting on the sofa watching TV. This is a quiet machine. I was doing my 5 mins in a darkened room and when my husband walked in it nearly scared him to death to see me working out. He couldn't even hear me. This is good because my treadmill was loud and would wake him if he was asleep. I love it. Sturdy, quiet machine. I haven't used the bike part much yet, but I am 5'4' and I reach the pedals easy peasey. I love this machine and can see that it is built to last forever. My husband put it together. It took him a while and he actually used the instructions but it was doable. Buy this machine. You won't be sorry.
