Just curious.. someone gave us a machine that has the motion of snow skiing. Would this be a safe exercise for us?
Thanks!

Off hand, I'd say no.
I do not know your age or degree of bone loss or other pertinent information. Hence, cannot relate my answer specifically to your case, but to be safe, no.
One leans forward too much on this machine.

Lucy ~ Thank you so very much for that info. I am "only" 46, but have significant bone loss. I appreciate the help so much!

I'm looking at Juvent 1000.

The Juvent 1000 sounds awesome. Unfortunately, it looks a little cost prohibitive for me at this point. Rats.
