My wife and I actually owned one, but it eventually just turned into dust.
But I love walking IRL -
The ones at the gym are hooked up to a TV network, so I can plug in my earbuds and rather than sitting on the sofa watching TV, I walk and watch TV. And that works really well for me. When I'm a bit fitter than I am now, I do commercial intervals on the treadmill like I do on the trainer ... where I run during the commercials and walk during the show. Of course, it has to be an interesting show.
