Wow, that thing was a complete pain to put together! The intructions were nto very good at all. Normally I like doing stuff like that, but this thing was just so annoying to assemble. I've had two stretching sessions with it so far. My max at this point is 130 degrees. I really like this thing. When I stretch by myself without equipment to aid me, I lose interest, and never stretch long enough. Last night, I sat, and watched TV while doing different stretches on the versaflex, and increasing the strech every couple minutes. Time flew by! I know a lot of people don't like the machines, but I think it's just what I need. Can't wait to strecth tonight!
