DIY cardio twister repair

It's not that I like to advertise TV shops, it's just that the joint hurts, there is no pool available for the lifestyle, the exercise bike is bulky and expensive, so I decided to buy a stepper.
I don’t know if those Cardio Twister, which are 20-30% cheaper than teleshoes, are fake, but I decided take a chance save
In short, I was ready to forgive the shallow curvature of the shaft, into which the stick for the hands is inserted, anyway, my wife said that it was better without her.
The fact that the instruction did not display information on how to swing the pedals, which in the fresh factory state were completely jammed by the "braking" "mechanism.
When clicks appeared at every step, I disassembled the chain fasteners, added lubricants and 4 washers, which our Chinese brothers saved on.
But when, at the 350th step, I found that the square steel pipe was breaking along the edge and the weld, I realized that the MOST INTERESTING

The simulator manufacturers were at least too lazy to make a welded seam around the entire perimeter of the pipe, and the load on the rotation is the weight of the body with a sickly lever.
At first I thought I would just boil around the rest of the perimeter.
But realizing that they also saved on the thickness of the walls, so I cut the kerchief out of the steel corner, and added rigidity more radically.
By and large, I cooked it for the second time in my life. Where I could crawl - I grinded it with a grinder, and boiled it where it wasn’t welded. Where he could not - "nakakal", do not blame me.

Along the way, it turned out that the shafts on which the pedals themselves swing are also a masterpiece of economy. The whole body weight turns out to be on them in turn, again with a lever, and polyethylene bushings “work” there, of which only one was thickly lubricated, and stupidly from below.
I have already realized that this knot is doomed, and I cannot improve it, I will just find out how long it will take to wear out until it is completely obscene.
There are also complaints about the connection of pedals with a chain (such as a bicycle chain), there, too, the connection works for metal abrasion, but, I think, it will be able to survive the bushings with a several-fold margin.

In any case, check out how I played welder.
It was pleasant and self-affirming.
The electrodes were 2mm, the current is ridiculous, I cooked on a common balcony.

The rotary stepper is distinguished from the usual stepper by the handle that rotates from side to side added to the design.

This seemingly insignificant detail significantly expands the capabilities of the cardio equipment - it becomes a great alternative to the classic version for exercising both at home and in the fitness room.

Cardio Twister, or Cardio Slim with a handle, which appeared relatively recently on the sports markets, has already won a whole army of fans in all countries of the world. Let's find out why.

The design of the cardioslim is almost 100% copy of the classic stepper. Only one feature changes it - the rotating handle, thanks to which it got the name of the rotary stepper. The presence of the lever allows you to perform movements of a mixed, bidirectional nature on the simulator. The classic imitation of climbing a ladder is combined with torso turns, similar to when you twist a hoop. All this gives an even load on both the top and bottom of the body, making it easy to lose weight with the help of a stepper.

• Leg muscles, gluteal muscles.
• Muscles of the arms, shoulders and back.
• Abs, and especially the oblique abdominal muscles, which are inaccessible to many simulators - it is their tone that affects the formation of a thin, graceful waist.

That is, as a result, we see that in the process of performing exercises on the Cardio Twister, all the main muscle groups of our body are actually worked out.

1. The axiom of any physical activity is this: the more muscles work, the more efficiently calories are burned and the more excess weight you can lose. Half an hour regular classes 3 times a week will give impressive results already in the first month. And by the end of the second, thanks to the improved metabolism, you can, standing on the scales, miss 5-10 kg of weight. 6 facts prove the effectiveness of training and the benefits of the stepper for health and weight loss.
2. Women who do not want to have a muscular figure and do not set themselves the task of reaching the Schwarzenegger relief will find their ideal in Cardio Twister. Its purpose is to tone and pump the muscles of the buttocks, legs, waist, abs, arms and back.
3. Kardioslim refers to a cardio simulator. It improves the functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, without which the overall health of the body is impossible.
4. General endurance of the body increases, and multidirectional movements improve coordination of movements.
5. Affordable price, stylish design, no bulkiness - qualities due to which this simulator has firmly established itself in houses and apartments. Trainings are convenient and interesting - while practicing, you can listen to music in parallel, watch TV without the slightest loss for the effectiveness of the lesson.

Despite the fact that TV shops, online stores, and specialized sites are full of offers, it is sometimes difficult to make a choice. The advice is to either try it out personally (in the hall or at friends' house), or, after looking at a specific model from the photo, read all possible reviews about it.
