I've had one for about 1 month and love it. To make things less borring, put it in front of the TV. When a comerical comes on, take a rest, then when the show starts again, continue your workout. I love it. I'll do a standing climb in my hardest gear, then take a recovery break during comercials. Then when the show comes back on, I'll do a sitting spin, as fast as possible. In no time, you'll have trained for 1 hour without even noticing it.
