I'm thinking about getting this to work on my arms(LITTLE strength) &amp; my abs. I'm concern about the missing parts review (seeing that I'm outside US)

I think you should get the "platinum" model, not the cheaper original one or your feet won't clear the base properly. That is your main worry, so order from reputable source. Parts missing is likely to be a rarity, the other problem of the feet is a certainty. The machine will work the biceps and upper back muscles used to pull arms downward and backward quite well. It won't work triceps.

That part was difficult for me as well. I had to have someone with more muscles (my husband) do it. Should have mentioned that in review... Once you get past that though, it was totally worth it! Good luck!

You know, I've never thought about it. I bought this years ago and it DID work (I'll bet it's still in my nightstand). It DOES make sense that it would work the area under the chin if I flexed it. Thanks for the question! Good idea.

Yep, that's the whole thing.I've actually ordered two kits at different times. One for me and one for a friend (at a later date). One came with just the videos and the other came with the videos and the plastic push up bars. The push up supports were not comfortable so I never used them. But overall, I still think the videos are a great value and a wonderful supplement to my martial arts training.Some additional exercises with some weights and you really do have a great work out. I also like the home videos by Zuzka Light. Take a look. She's in great shape.

If you do the exercises correctly, yes I did!! You have to really be conscious of using your abs and really feel it. I love it for abs.

I barely bike and use the arm work out at the same time. You can do the elliptical and use the arm . When i bike i just hold the handle. Good luck and have fun

Yes I have. It is cumberson to use. I have we sties 20 lbs. I can't not seem to adjust it to be short enough. So I use it as best I can but I set the arm pole all the way up as far as possible. It works enough. Not loving it though.

Yes, it works out both arms and legs...especially if you do a program! Its one of the best pieces of equipment I have bought. I hope this help you.

Hi, I actually tried it on my arms and it works. The problem is since it is small and meant for a smaller area, it takes a much longer time. I am actually thinking about purchasing a separate product for other body parts, such as arms and legs.

I've turned around and used this for abs, but it doesn't really target the muscles well at all. I only use this for back and sides, and do other things for abs.

Better reduce the rating to about 125. I'm 190 and the incline T-bar actuator just snapped on mine. No thanks on another too-flimsy replacement, I'll just buy some material and fix your design flaw myself.

I Love this machine. Does it work? It depends if you use it consistently. I feel great when I use it. I typically do squats, ab twists and air boxing to get a total body workout. Last week I actually was on with my weights. I do not regret getting this machine but give it your best and I believe it will be good to your body :)

I am not a fitness expert, but I use this in moderate amounts when I'm building up and in light amount when I'm not to prevent loss of mass. I am 57 years old, never in sports or military, and was told I could not build muscles at my age. But proved that to be very wrong, as I built my left arm from almost nothing - to being larger and stronger than my right arm (which also grew, but received less work due to shoulder injury). As my left bicep was so small, I am sure I did not just invigorate the existing tissue. I also make my own protein bars with whey and take CLA.

Ha! I would say it very well could be used as an arm exercise if you need to work on motion post-surgery. It absolutely should not be used if the purpose is for strength training of any kind. This has a very fluid motion.

JC, I did not get the handle/stabilizer bar. I had no prior experience and I was able to do all the moves on the trampoline without any difficulty so I cannot personally see the value in a handle/stabilizer bar. I am fairly athletic with good (maybe excellent) balance. If a person was not as sure of balance then maybe a stabilizer bar would be good to start with.

i will have to check and get back with you. i do like the lift no complants. but i don't use it very much. so if you plan on using it alot you may need a heaver lift.

yes,DUCK it workes the core quite well,i have been a fan of the dynamic inertia resistance products for the past few years,i also highly recomend the Bodyblade,it cost a little more but worth every penny. avc6381@yahoo.com
