Is it safe to rest my feet on top of a ups like this? i have one under my desk and it helps my knee to do so.

You'd probably be OK. APC makes some pretty robust cases...Just use common sense

Not good 'under' a desk. This stepper is made to be used standing up. I would recommend a stationery peddler if you want something under your desk.

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation... If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

I have never used it lying down and would think that to be very difficult. As long as you can get your feet (or hands) in the pedals then a somewhat reclining position might be okay not sure about that. If you can reach the pedals with your hands or feet then its usable I would think. I sit on a couch, put the ergometer on a table near the front of my couch and place my hands on the pedal stirrups and pedal with my arms. For your feet you can sit on a chair or couch and with the ergometer on the floor pedal around I suppose but I use it not for my legs or with my feet but with my hands for my upper body and love it. Always make sure you are okay to exercise by running it by your doc. Usually I would imagine it would be okay but I'm not a doctor. Good luck and let us know what you do.

We haven't noticed a problem when the foot plates are up. They go up 'stiffly' so that I think it would be very difficult for them to fall down. It is an amazing item. The only suggestion I would have, is that, if you are being pushed, it would be nice to have a hanging cushion on the back. Otherwise, it is perfect for what we wanted.

I don't know, i don't move mine since I have 2 monitors, the keyboard, mouse and some other small accessories on it. I think if you move it up and down it would be best to remove the items from the desk as you can only move one leg at a time unless you have someone help you.

legs are not stationed when folded up. They will drop when you lift the tray in the air. I imagine you may have to use a cushion in your lap and put the tray on top folded.

It depends on the height of your desk. If its a low desk, then you might have some trouble since the chairs lowest setting is still a little high. For example, I have a keyboard tray that is attached to under my desk so with that, I cant cross my legs while Im rolled under the desk.

Power Press Push Up will not slip on carpet nor hard flooring (hardwood, tiles). The bottom of the boards have anti-slip rubber footings that will prevent the board from sliding. It is safe to use on the said surfaces provided that the floor is not slippery to begin with. Doing push ups from an elevated position (e.g., feet on chair) is also safe to do (and challenging)! Plug and Press away with Power Press!

cannot think there would be. You set where you place your chair. Short legs might be an advantage because you wouldn't hit your knees on the desk

I'm 5"4" and I was hitting my knees under my computer desk. I pulled my keyboard and mouse back to the edge of the desk top and pedal away. It's hard to use the keyboard or write while you are using it though. Mine has held up really well and although not a cardio workout by any means, keeps the legs moving!

It can very easily be used under a desk. Just make sure that you don't bang your knees on the desk before you get into fast pedaling. Also make sure that there is some tension on the pedals. If there is no tension it tends to wobble and for long periods of time it may break.

The answer to your question is yes. you can have the feet up without having the back down.

Harold: Bought my unit two weeks ago and just installed it last night. My desk too is up against a wall... and it works just fine. As you expand the unit for standing, the legs stay put on your desk but the monitor platform moves forward... so a wall is no obstacle. That help?

Laying flat would be uncomfortable for me. LOVE using it on my desk and sitting on sofa. Use it in bed but use pillows to raise my hard a bit.

Think of this item as a see-saw - you may either point it downward like " \ " towards legs or upwards " / " or parallel to floor based of how and where you position your legs on this. Although there is a height adjustment. I find it useful for me as I am 5.1" and gives me the extra support or height adjustment for my legs when I sit at my desk. Occasionally because of see-saw movement I can do leg exercises. Hope that helps
