Did you feel like you were "sliding downhill" while using this?

I bought it for my mother. She loves it. She has not said anything negative about it.

No. It did take a few days to get used to the slight elevation, but I started noticing the benefits immediately, so it was totally worth getting used to.

No, I have no idea. I am getting to the point I feel as "The Flintstones" when I am using it.

my broke down after a few times using it. I felt like a tighting flexing kind of workout periodically but you get used to it and what more intense and the more intense isn't that strong. I returned mine for my money back

Not really, just a tiny bit. Like if you were to just stretch and go back it's got a little tilt. I haven't tried testing it because I don't want to fall on my ass or break it lmao!

yes it is very light so be careful walking with it.. I felt like I was going to fall over.. this was not for me.. i did not feel safe with it

I thought the same however after you give it a try, it becomes easier although I haven't increased the tension yet since I don't want to strain myself. I've wondered if anyone HAS increased it, because it is much more difficult with small increases.

I've used it either way with similar results. I feel as you do about the instructions - very vague. This is something the instructions should be more specific.

No, it does not feel like you're going downhill. There is no up or downhill adjustment. You are simply standing up straight while doing the circular peddling motion of your typical elliptical. The only "wheels" are two very small rollers on the bottom for easy sliding of the machine across the floor. Hope that helps!

I am not sure, sometimes I feel the same. However when I was in physical therapy the tech said the pads on their machine needed to be in a sort of square pattern so the power could go from one to another - it is difficult for me to put the pads on myself so they end up (on my low back) where they stick not sure if it is in a circle/square or not.I would agree with the other comments..........I found when I put a small amount of the gel (intended for the wand) on the pad it did seem to feel "stronger" Maybe like the other person said there is not enough power for all four to be strong enough.

I tried as well for the first time.. I'm exhausted and also failed. It feels like I'm going to break it.EDIT: I just broke it

Hi MichaelHonestly, I didn't find this worked for me. It was not the first posture guide I have ever used, and hoped it would help, as it is different from others I had tried. I still found myself hunched over. It didn't take very long for me to get used to the feeling of the tugging and was not a problem for me. I got used to ite

Yes. When moved up or down you will feel a "click" as it moves. I would call that "detented" By the way, it has been a very good purchase and I love the "Paddle" control versus others that use a knob. So much easier to use with soapy slick hands.

I have. Yes, it worked ok ... I found I tended to move slowly on it because it's a pretty bouncy movement for typing, but at least you're moving a bit. I tended to use it when I was reading.

I got used to it somehow, but still occasionally slip down. Also weekdays its great, on weekends, I have to actually get rid of it completely if I want to sleep more than usual 7 hrs. So still not used to it for more than 7 hrs!

I would say no, I'm 5 10 and felt like it was stretched enough. Not mention bathroom breaks were quiet the experience lol

Hard to say. I'm shorter and heavier than you, and it resolved pain in the gluts and downward.

Mine is definitely tilting, and it has gotten progressively worse over time. I feel like I'd fall out of the chair if the armrest weren't there. I think mine had a defect when it was new, but it was minor then and I was too lazy to return. In hindsight, I wish I had.
