i know its a lot of money i see it as an investment in my health- had it 3 weeks now- i have always had bad circulation and already i see a difference in how much more flexible my calf muscles are - before using it they were getting hard and stiff and squatting or sitting down crossing my legs was noticeably getting difficult - i feel its helping to get the blood flowing around my body better- i enjoy switching it on and watching a movie or some tv for an hour or so of an evening or even just sitting listening to music or reading a book - its a great way to tone up and catch up with sitting down leisure pursuits and its relaxing too-
