Hmmm - not much good for the majority of us here who hate push handles with a vengance then :-)

So in fact the most important bit of the setup is missing and all you get is a couple of handles, the feet things and two bars. Doesn't seem like the greatest value for money for £50 ($100) when the resistance tubes /bands can be used on their own to achieve exactly the same thing.

This is clearly meant for the elderly, but hey, elderly/cripple, what's the dif, right? Maybe that's why so many people feel they need to shout when talking to us.

Right on russ handles not needed.... but Thera-band (as i've heard it called) is kinda pricey on its own
