I recently got the e-motion rollers from Inside ride. They have a mag resistance unit that lets you dial up much more effort than I can handle. With the mag unit on zero, the effort is almost identical to riding outdoors on a flat road with no wind. They are very easy to learn on and you can easily get out of the saddle, climb, sprint, or watch TV (my favorite).

The floating frame makes them very forgiving for a beginner. The e-motions are pricey, but very well made. I've had them a month or so and probably have 150 miles on them. I've even ridden them a few times when the weather was nice, but I wanted to catch a ball game.
