How is the incline adjusted, and, do you have to stop your workout to adjust it?

Yes you have to stop during workout if you want to adjust incline. It is easy would take less than 15 seconds & you could use the pause button during workout to to quickly adjust. On the down side the machine does not calculate for incline in any way. The incline feature is a pull handle that can adjust up or down.

You have to stop exercising, lifting handle to change the incline. You cannot do it while exercising.

You have to get off the machine to adjust incline. Theres a lever you lift up and hook into a higher slot. It only takes a second. You can adjust the "level" through computer eithout stopping. I find that I usually leave the incline in the middle and its perfect

It is adjusted manually with a lever. You would have to stop the workout to adjust.

Yes, there are eight prsetting on speed and you can go up or down with a single touch. I don't change the incline much, but I believe I remember setting the incline in the same manner.

Yes, the motorized incline is really nice. I like to adjust as am building up endurance.

As far as I know, you can't adjust the tension on the machine. However, the placement of your hands on the handles can change the tension on your muscles as you use it. If you grip the tops of the handles, you get a longer stride, and as you place your hands lower on the handles it changes the stride and the way you use your arms as well. There is an instruction book that comes with it to explain the different ways to use it. Hope this helps!

The incline is really insignificant. The bottom legs fold-down creating an incline with the front part. I say 10%. But for the price it's a fantastic treadmill.

No it does not. It does though change slighty depending on what incline you choose.

We just started using it. You can adjust the settings for "less" resistance so the heavier you are the less incline.

There is adjustable tension that applies equally to both upper and lower body. You cannot adjust them independently, but I believe that is true of this type of equipment generally.

There's no incline function the machine is very compact and durable. Good workout.

It works very well. We have had it for several years and use it regularly. My wife and I both use the incline.

Yes, the incline is manual. Not sure of the percentage but it isn't too high. It has 3 different levels you can't incline it to but they are not steep at all.

The bench declines to the same but opposite degree of the incline. Hope this helps!!

No tension adjustment on my older model, I recall it was quiet. I stopped using it and made space for an elliptical a few years ago.

No, the seat is huge, and your body will naturally fit into the angle created by the incline. There are multiple incline settings. It doesn't go straight up, but close. Only one decline, and obviously only one flat. This bench is huge, and is best for a tall person, but I still love it at only 5' 10". It stands up nicely with wheels on the end to move it around easily. I never worry about this bench breaking, regardless of how much weight I put on it

I have never had any problems but the initial setting are crucial to make sure that there is never such an issue. If you start off at a lesser incline and adjust your heighth setting you should never have any troubles alone.

It is a fixed angle, no adjustments, which really bums me out because my old one (a Fitness Gear, which I will replace this one with) had three inclines including flat so that it could be used as a chair when not working out (my only furniture is my camping cot and my situp bench).I got hold of a milk crate and put the front legs of the bench on the flipped over milk crate thus increasing the incline for a better workout and will do that in the future with other, better situp benches (I like my milk crate better than this particular situp bench, milk crates rule.)Kel

I'm used to adjusting inclines on a treadmill. I don't recall inclines tied to elliptical's. I don't think mine has an incline adjustment.
