@YankeeRider, too comfortable might be the best description. There might be some perception issues as well. I believe the recumbent is certainly better than doing nothing at all. Walking for me is tough, stibilty issues with a bad ankle, and the opposite leg knee failing, makes outdoor walking not much fun. I do use a treadmill to get moving, but just can't get a level of effort to seriosuly "work" given the joint issues. The knee willbe replaced this year. The ankle will see some physical therapy very soon, and hoping no surgery is needed.

For the record. I am seriously considering a recumbent trike purchase. Hate the prices though. Given my many physical issues, it may yet be my best option in the future.
