Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

@avmcbellar @helennicola, I used to have a combination elliptical and exercise bike and upgraded to a Teeter FreeStep Recumbent Cross Trainer that gives you both lower body and upper body exercise. It's one of the best investments I've made in a long time. About a month ago I decided to focus more on core body strength and bought their FitForm Strength Trainer that lets you work on pretty much all of your muscle groups. They have great videos you can watch online with an iPad or mobile device to walk you through each of the different exercises.

Hi @helennicola and @fiesty76 Both exercise machines @johnbishop recommended offered great exercise alternatives. With my balance issues, the Free Step would be more accommodating and easier to use. While the Fit Form is compact I think it would require more effort in using it. For now, I think I will take baby steps( giggle ) and consider the Sunny Health & Fitness manual treadmill instead. It only has one incline setting but that is ok with me. I can always progress to the Free Step later. I found the manual treadmill on Amazon for a reduced price of $151.99 which includes shipping. It is compact unlike the Free Step. I currently use a Sunny Health & Fitness product and feel comfortable in purchasing their treadmill. Below is the video for the SF T1407M treadmill:

Hope this helps. Toni

Thanks for these links, @johnbishop. I am interested in the freestep. Was the assembly difficult for someone not mechanical? Smiles
