I am 5'11". Will this product still work for me? I am concerned that I will be off the mat doing downward dogs.

I have a Manduka Pro mat. The life board is a tad longer than this mat. So I can't imagine this would be an issue. I love my lifeboard and use it everyday. BTW I'm 5 '7".

The board is a little bigger than my mat. So as long as you stay on your mat in down dog, you'll be good. Seriously, this was the best $100 I've spent on anything yoga related.

Wow , I should have such problems!!! Ha! I am 5'3" so I am probably not the right person to give you advice, however, I believe the board is 6'? So with that in mind it should be okay for you? I love the board because I'm in an apartment that is carpeted, trying to be stable on carpet was a challenge, this board makes working out doable, plus it's easy to store. I hope someone w/more height gives you answers that I can't . Until then I hope this is some help. Namaste

Not quite that low even for me at 5'4". It could reach higher at the shoulder level though by adjusting the whole thing up a little. The only adjustment is really horizontal, for a wider area but not up and down.Good luck.

I am 5 feet also, and it works fine for me. I do have it set on the shortest adjustment, so someone under 5 feet might have a problem.

Im 5'11 i just bottom out. It really depends on your dips. I can stop an inch or two before hitting the floor and consider it a good dip.

I am 5'7" and I have the setting at the max in order to fully extend my legs...My guess would be that it may not work for someone of your height.

I am 5'2" and my husband is 6'5". I designed the mat to work with any height / flexibility. You simply need to adjust your front foot by stepping below the top foot placement or above the top foot placement. I made free instructional videos that explain step-by-step how to adjust your front foot for your height/flexibility. You can find them on YouTube or Vimeo.

I'm 5'2" and this ball works great for me. It's just the right height to balance on like a chair and they don't say this on here, but it's also weighted so if you fall off of it - it doesn't go far. Hope this helps!

I'm 5'9" & it's the perfect height for me so I doubt it would work for you . . . unless you can find a shorter version.

I'm 5'6". And it works well for me. The top part you can't adjust. The bottom part you can adjust for the length of your legs. However, that may make the top half heavier then the bottom (the balancing problem). If this is what is happening, and you are falling backwards, it is good, because that is where you will end up and want to. It is bad because it is hard to come back to upright when you are done. You may need to attach some weight to the place you stick your feet in. Maybe use leg weights (the ones with the Velcro straps). This should help. Please let me know if this works. Oh.. and make sure you try this with someone there to help! Good luck Darlene. Martin

I'm 5'3" and it works fine for me, I can't see that it would be any different for someone a few inches shorter. The one difference that I noticed with this machine compared to other row machines is that you can't accumulate momentum, which is actually really nice, it makes it so your first pull on the bar is the same difficulty, as every time you pull it, if that makes sense.

I'm 5'9" and it is right at the top for me when I overhead press inside the rack. So if you are 5'11" probably not.

I'm 5'11 or so and its a touch tall for me , so should fit you pretty well. I use mine for dumbbell work(inc/dec/military etc) mostly. The bench is very sturdy.

I'm 5 foot 10 inches and a 260 pounds, and I would have liked it to adjust just a little smaller. So i;m sure it will work well with a much taller person. Hope this helps.

I'm 5'2" and it seemed too short to work out my abs, I had to lean forward to pull myself up and it worked my arms and not my abs. At 5'7" I'd think that your tall enough that it would work your abs AND your arms.

I am 5' 10" and it works great for me. There is even extra height I could go to so I don't think you should have an issue. It is one of the better units.

you can use it even though you are 5 feet BUT it is rough on the knees and ankles. I WOULD NOT attempt this with your problems. Check with your doctor or a trainer.

I am 5'10". I use the stick at its fullest extension. It has 4 settings. If you put it on the shortest setting, it should work for you.
