Do-it-yourself cardio twister repair

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

The manufacturers of the simulator were at least too lazy to make a weld around the entire perimeter of the pipe, and the load on the rotation is hoo-hoo - the weight of the body with a sickly lever.
At first I thought that I would just boil the rest of the perimeter.
But realizing that they also saved on the thickness of the walls, so I sawed out a scarf from a steel corner, and added rigidity more radically.
By and large cooked for the second time in my life. Where he could crawl, he grinded with a grinder, and boiled where it was not welded. Where he could not - "pumped", 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 entire weight of the body turns on them in turn, again with a lever, and polyethylene bushings “work” as bearings there, of which only one was thickly lubricated, and stupidly from below.
I already understood that this knot is doomed, and I won’t be able to improve it, I’ll just find out how long it will take to wear out to complete indecency.
There are also complaints about the connection of pedals with a chain (such as a bicycle one), there the connection also works for metal abrasion, but I think it can survive the bushings with a severalfold margin.

Anyway, check out how I played welder.
It was pleasant and self-affirming.
The electrodes were 2mm, the current was funny, I cooked on the common balcony.

A rotary stepper is distinguished from a conventional stepper by a handle that rotates from side to side added to the design.

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

Cardio Twister, or Cardio Slim with a handle, relatively recently appeared 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 almost 100% copies the classic stepper. Only one feature modifies it - the rotating handle, thanks to which he received the name of the rotary stepper. The presence of a lever allows you to perform movements of a mixed, bidirectional nature on the simulator. Classic stair climbing is combined with torso twists like when you spin a hoop. All this gives a uniform load on both the upper and lower body, making it easy to lose weight with a stepper.

• Musculature of the legs, gluteal muscles.
• Muscles of the arms, shoulders and back.
• The press, 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, in the end, we see that in the process of doing 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 calories are burned and the more excess weight can be lost. Half-hour regular classes 3 times a week will give impressive results in the first month. And by the end of the second, thanks to the improvement of metabolism, it is possible, standing on the scales, to miss 5-10 kg of weight. 6 facts prove the effectiveness of classes 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 achieving a Schwarzenegger relief will find their ideal in the Cardio Twister. Its goal is to tone and pump up the muscles of the buttocks, legs, waist, abs, arms and back.
3. Cardioslim refers to simulators for the heart. It improves the work of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, without which the general improvement of the body is impossible.
4. The overall endurance of the body increases, and multidirectional movements help to improve coordination of movements.
5. Affordable price, stylish design, lack of bulkiness - qualities due to which this simulator is firmly established in houses and apartments. Training is convenient and interesting - while doing it, you can simultaneously listen to music, 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, making a choice is sometimes difficult.
