I have a bunch of gear now including one of these. I recommend whatever it takes to keep you on it! For me, I just push buttons until the timer comes up and ignore all the other silliness. I got a great workout this morning - 45 minutes of serious sweat on the recumbent bike and a bunch of other things too. How fast was I going? How many "miles"? How many calories? I have no idea. It doesn't matter at all to me. But it is easy to lose track of time while exercising so I use the timer.
Many people can't workout at home. I got lots of gear free (or very cheap) from people who paid full price and never used the stuff. They say they just can't do it at home. I don't really share that problem so lucky me! I might set up a TV someday but for now, all I need is my MP3 player and all my favorite tunes. I put a lot of time into my music collection so it's easy for me to tweak the load on my player and keep it full of fresh tunes that jack me up. Makes all the difference. I'm starting to see some muscles popping out that I haven't seen in years. Wifey likes 'em too! There's a six pack in there somewhere...
