I want these for maintaining my endurance and aerobic fitness over the winter. I prefer cross country skiing once the snow flies, but I can only do that on weekends and days off.
Does anybody have any thoughts on whether rollers with a forward/backward rocking motion are a good or bad idea? I'm looking at Tacx Galaxia specifically. I haven't found one locally so I'd have to order this one, I'm trying to make sure it's really what I want (or that it isn't) before I pull the trigger.

I let my mind wander once when I first got them and fell. Won't make that mistake again. It does take concentration.

How do you do it? I keep reading "look forward not down" so it seems like it would be hard at least at first. Out on the road you have visual cues but I'm not sure how this is going to come together?
I'll either use them next to a shelf in front of the garden door, or if it's dry enough out on the deck in the garden.
PS, Tim, I read your thread from a year ago last night.
