can it be used for arm exercises also?

Ha! I would say it very well could be used as an arm exercise if you need to work on motion post-surgery. It absolutely should not be used if the purpose is for strength training of any kind. This has a very fluid motion.

Yes, that is why I bought it. I like to have the back raised when I exercise my shoulders, arms. This somewhat duplicates one of the machines at the therapist I went to.

It could. If you put it on a table in front of you, it would feel a lot like kayaking. You just have to get the tension knob to stay put if you want it to be difficult to do.

Hello, yes it can be used for arm exercises. I bought the pedal exerciser for my 86 year old mother for her exercises & she loves it. Now we all use it for legs & arms. I was concerned that it would move around while using but it doesn't.

This would not come close to increasing heart rate or burn calories like aerobics. It works best for getting circulation to the legs and toning the arms.

You turn it around--It can be used for your arms and legs forward and backwards by simply turning it around. It's good for improving your range of motion. I had a stroke and I love using it to keep my arm and leg limber.

It depends on what you consider "adjustable" this machine allows you to set workout levels for combined arm and leg exercises. So, if you don't use your arms you can just exercise your legs which I what my wife does. All-in-all a very nice exercise machine that has help me regain much of the strength I lost form several brain abysses.

Only if you have a short stride to maintain your balance. I'd suggest audio books so you can use your arms to alter your workout positions so you can maximize your workout. Caution, it's fun, easy, & addicitive!

Hi I don't believe so, the reason, I don't dare let go of the bar and allow any arm motion. The treads are so small and I have large feet, as a result any misstep off the tread and you are at risk. I am going to a simple treadmill with an elevation function. Seemed I accomplished much more with that.

I don't think you can add arms......if you have good balance then it will work for you...if not, need one with arms

Yes it can. We use it for weighted balls, too, training to hit the ball harder.

There is no adjustment for that exercise, but if you slide your arm down you surely can do finger curls. I just tried it. Happy exercising, and thanks for the suggestion, my fingers and grip love you for it!

No, but you can pull up arm and leg exercises on the internet. I think you will find it very exercise friendly. The piece in the back of the chair is to keep you setting correctly with good posture. I find this very helpful.

I would think so. At least you hand and fingers will be strengthened. You might want to augment it with a resistive rubber band as part of your exercise routine.

Yes it would. It comes with a diagram on how to use it for abs and other workouts.

No, for arms it must be used on a table or elevated somehow.We have not found that to be satisfactory, but for its price we've been pleased enough for leg exercise. It's not a Mercedes of exercisers, but it does have merits: low cost, ease of use, and it's small and rather lightweight.

You could probably set it up to do some ab work but I haven't tried any exercises like that. It's not really designed for that. By design,the device balances your body on it and if you were to lift your upper body all the way up, it might cause you to rotate back upright unless you adjust the settings so you are not balanced.

I would imagine so but do be careful because the base of the arm can slip off some times. For me personally I made a hole in the spot that the base sits so that it doesn't. Hope this helps.

It do not believe you can. I have rather muscular arms as I just hooked it on my arm.

It would be impossible to use it on arms since you need to hold it with both wants. You could use it on your legs but it might take a long time. I have only it on my face.
