We have returned the unit. It was purchased for my wife, but with RA and Lupus, it aggravated her joints to much. Nice machine though. Well built.

You lay on the floor or a hard surface,put your ankles on the top,turn the machine on, it moves every part of your body.You can feel thecirculation. especally good for people that are not able to get out and walk, but good for anyone.I like the machine and should use it at least twice a day. I wouldsuggest a yoga mat to lay on.It is a passive exercise where the machinemoves you, instead of you moving the machine.

It stimulates your circulation throughout the body. I use weights and lift them with my arms as I am on the floor using the machine. I love it.

I use it lying down on the floor. Exercise is primarily legs, but I experience stretching/movement in my back as well.

Sorry... we bought it as a gift for my mother-in-law... I don't recall all of the features... it works well for her use, but she only uses it during exercise.

For me, this machine releases tensions in the joints and muscles. Plus, if you do push-ups, sit-ups, squats, etc., on it, your body works twice as hard to maintain balance so you don't have to exercise as long to get the same results as you would doing them without the machine. After 10 minutes, I am sweaty and want water, so I assume I am burning calories, but it is not like doing cardio. It feels more like intense yoga.

I barely bike and use the arm work out at the same time. You can do the elliptical and use the arm . When i bike i just hold the handle. Good luck and have fun

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.

If you're a beginner, yes it can be helpful. It is a useful tool for exercising.

This item is perfect for personal use. I had it for several months and I am really happy with it. It is great to use after workout. It has different speeds so you can work on different parts of the body. great product! Highly recommend!

It's set up so that you do it 5 -6 days a week. With cardio disc on Wednesday. But I did my own thing. I used the discs I liked and needed the most (back of the body) and did them every day sometimes twice a day and added in a neighborhood walk most days too or a spin bike for 45 minutes.

I use it in the small part of my back in my easy chair mostly. When I first ordered it I thought it was for exercising but it is not for exercising of the low back area. I have scoliosis.

I'm 55 and I use it. It takes getting used to. I started with the treadmill alone until I built up some stamina.

I use light weights, 5, 7.5 or 10 pounds to do misc. arm exercises while peddling along. Then check my heart rate periodically or use another monitor, wrist or ankle type. Swinging a 5-10# weight while peddling gives one a really good workout.

Define use. Yes, you install it in the body and there are instructions for doing so.

I use my legs. The hanlde does work, but I figure less wear and tear. Hope this helps.

There are some sites online that illustrate exercises for the roller. I go to a personal trainer once in a while, and I regularly use my roller to "roll out" painful places on my body. For example, I position the side of my leg over the roller and roll my leg against the roller. This is a form of deep massage that brings blood flow to the affected muscle. I hope this helps!

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.

There is a chart included that shows you what to do. There is also an infomercial that comes on abt it all the time. I like it. Just add some cardio with it and that will also help. There are a lot of exercises you can do with this machine but you need to have a routine and stick with it. Hope this helps
