the last one I was using was weighted in a way that would pull on my knee.

The treadmill seems more reliable -- plus the butt gets exercise, although I just walk.. kinda fast.

I pulled ligaments in my hip and though it healed it doesn't like going to fast, but after not being
able to walk for a couple of weeks mobility is very nice!
