yes the twist will loosen up your back. if u hold a broom handle and twist side to side with it. and raise handle slowly upwards over your head.

As Bonnie said, it's good asa low impact device that will keep you moving. As any lose weight program you have to use it regularly and still have a good diet plan to supplement your weight lose routine. It doesn't have any settings to change the friction so to enhance your experience some hand or ankle weights work well with the cycle. I prefer using both. Good Luck, Denny

Talk to your doctor. There is A LOT of twisting which is not good for backs, depending on what your issues are.

I would say yes. I lost a few pounds even though I'm have a "normal" BMI of about 20%. It's a blast to do too. You'll feel like such a badass afterwards haha ;)

Yes, it does help you lose weight- when I used it with a "hands off" routine- I noticed the results very soon after starting. Heart rate is higher with hands off the bar. I belong to a gym, but still rely on my TreadClimber for a great workout when I can't make it to the gym!

ASK Your Doctor. My guess is NO. I have seen inversion 'chairs' that tip you back in a more sitting position with bent knees that may be acceptable to you doctor.

I like the pole..... It did come off once, I don't know if it had settled cuz I hadn't been on it for awhile. I am a little overweight so it doesn't help. I say to myself that I would play on it more once I lose weight, but I haven't lost enough to be able to hold myself up. I do hurt myself a lot and get pretty sore afterwards. but with lots of practice you could definitely learn some cool tricks to impress your friends or significant other!

I have used pillows in the past but did not feel they provided the structured arch created by the back magic. The weight of your body is unable to smash down the back magic arch, as it will do with pillows. I also have the Teeter inversion table but prefer the results I get with back magic.

I haven't noticed any effect on my back. But I am only doing between 30 minutes to an hour sessions. note - I've been using the bike for ~2 months now.

Hi Jan, if you are looking for a device specifically for ab work, this won't be good for you. This inversion table is more important if you are looking to stretch your spine. Mostly designed for releif in back pains. Hope this would answer your question. Amos

Hi Pam. I noticed the same thing too!! Most of the the reviewers seem overly excited for this product and willing to give 5 stars. They're all very similarly written as well. All I can say is it did not work for me. A customer service rep told me that it will mostly work for someone who is trying to lose at least 20+ pounds. I was trying to lose inches of fat, NOT total body weight, but did not lose an ounce of fat, because my inches are still the same. The customer service is great and very helpful. All I can say give this product a try. If it doesn't work, just call customer service and they will offer other products that might help or refund your money. Hope this helps you.

Trust me when I tell you, you WILL see results from this program! I followed the workout calendar and within the first 2 weeks I saw amazing results! I am naturally petite (112lbs 5'5" tall) but was looking to tone and shape my body, and just feel more healthy in general. This workout was not only fun (and sometimes really funny) but was challenging too. It will make your "bum bum" more full and rounded. If you have a "big booty", it will tone and shape it.. Never minimizing it! BBL is so completely worth the money! :) I guarantee you will be more than happy with the results! Trust me when I tell you, you WILL see results from this program!

Damgto is right, just lift the board. Flipping it over is a pain. I've been doing it 30 years.

I know it does work the muscles in your back because I can feel that. I would say it has to help your chest also. I have more shoulder problems so I am always concentrating on the shoulder areas. Regardless, it is a great workout and the instructor tells you what group of muscles you are working with so you can concentrate on those areas.

I used it on an off for my love handles and also when my lower back hurts. I believe it works but you have to be diligent about it. For exercise I swim masters competitively and I really don't diet. I would assume that if you reach your goal you would monitor your mid section and maybe use it a couple times a week for maintenance. Just my two cents.

Hello, Keep in mind that the board is inclined, that's why the belt slides backwards, sometimes mine does it. I think is normal. I don't mind because anyway, that is the purpose: keep on moving. You control the speed of course...After all this time using it....It became my BEST FRIEND EVER!!!! You should see my legs!!! so toned! I tight some weights along with a pedometer and walk for 40 minutes 3 times a week (Now, but at the very beginning, I was doing only 10-15 min and I was drained! lol)...This is a REAL work out!!! My pedometer shows I burn over 500 calories (Depending on my speed) This treadmill is not so comfortable like the regulars (Electric ones) that we all are used to, but It's been a great help for me. From mid January till now, I dropped 20 pounds combining this work out and reducing calories and I love it! Be patient and give it a try, hope it works for you, like it does for me.
