If you want an great workout, this is good for that. You can put on some size and get stronger using this awesome machine. If you really want to get mass.......free weights are the way to go, but you can get bigger an cut using this. It is easy to put under your bed.

Remix Workouts has the Body Weight Circuit that is AMAZING for improving cardio health and to really see results in toning for your entire lower body including thighs and legs. Because you're using your body weight you are also strength training so you're getting stronger and burning more calories. The curtsy squat changed my behind for sure!

I tried it a while back, it didn't work for me. Lower ab fat stays on for me, and I don't mind all that much because I found Organic Goat Weed works for me. Resistance sit ups with 100lbs on my chest for 5 sets of 5 reps with 30-120 sec rest is working right now (I feel comfortable doing 8), and I will increase the weight when I can do 10 to 15.

I would say I'm in decent shape and can use it pretty effectively. If you prefer quick short steps, you will stay at the top of the stepper, for longer (I think harder) steps, let yourself down a little farther each time by moving more slowly. I wouldn't call it gym quality, but I get a good workout especially for endurance if I do over 20 minutes at a time.

There are many different exercises better for upper body and trunk than legs.

This upright bike provides an excellent cardio workout! It has various settings to increase resistance, which in addition to enhancing the cardio workout, exercises the lower body muscles.

Yes I like dumbbells beter, but that's my opinion. Love the workout and the wight training made my body firmer. I do combine the 3 workouts though, Asalym, 1-2 and 25 love it

Yes, it is a wonderful workout. I ordered the DVDs from Amazon. With them it was easy to progress from beginning to advanced. The machine affords an outstanding workout for both arms and legs. It also gives a great ab. workout. Overall, a great machine and a great workout.

Most of the AB work is done standing, and yes, in between some of the routines is a small amount of push ups and sitting ab work. I personally have bad knees so I don't jump to the floor the way he does it. I just do my basic at that point. It's all good as long as I listen to my body. I'm 52 and have worked out forever. Hope this helps.

YES, it's like a hi-rep bench press. If less pec is your goal, then concentrate on the closer grip positions. Good luck! Ed P.S. Or don't go as deep on each rep -- use "rapid partials" for tris and delts.

I don't know about that but if you want a good workout...I never use this DVD it doesn't give me a good workout unless you are a beginner. Good luck.

Yes, besides these products stopping your girlfriend from telling you need an air freshener down there, you can use it on your upper torso and other areas. These are very good after work outs or a quick run.

The higher the level you place the tension, the better pull and push the workout will be. I started on level 2 to getuse to the machine, and have upped it to now level 4. I feel the pull in my arms, legs, bottom,and alittle in my stomach. I feel the forward movement inmy arms and shoulders. I really feel this is a good workout. I go slow for awhile, then pick up the pace and then slow it down again- sorta like they do in cross training. I also move my hands holding the bar to gripping it over the bar and then switch to holding the bar gripping under. I hope this helped you decide. I love my workout. And its such a great price.

Yes. The higher handles are easier to use if you have limited hip flexibility. The lower handles offer a greater range of motion. Great bar!

Yes, it is easy and you can get a good work out . It exercises your arms and shoulders plusincreased breathing.. Periods of 10 - 20 minutes for startering. Increase time and tension as desired.

My initial response is yes, but not big muscles if that is what you are interested in attaining. Since you use only your body weight for the exercises and no additional equipment, you definitely get stronger. Since the workouts are short, you might want to use it to enhance another workout with weights that are already doing. If you are already in great fantastic shape, you might not see much improvement. For myself however, and my girlfriend who did the series with me, when we started, we were doing pushups on our knees, and by the end we could do 10 pushups on our toes. The sessions are timed though, so if you already can do push ups, then you could 30 in the same time it takes me to do only 10 for example. It definitely builds core strength. Hope this helps!
