YES, i used my brothers first and it helped me lose weight then i bought my own! Later i used it with light weights in my hands! I use it often in winter when i cant get out and walk due to bad weather !whether i use the stationary bike or this one it worked the same for me! i Highly would recommend it i lost 44 pounds a while ago and am just now using it again to lose more!! I have arthritis and need something low impact and not to strenuous! I hope this helps you Debbie and good luck, Bonnie

Yes, it is aerobic exercise and as such the more you use it the more calories you will burn

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

It's a motorized unit, it actually pedals for you. It is intended for people who have had a extended illness and need their legs or arms exercised for them.

I did not purchase the cycle for losing weight. I purchased it to build up my legs and assist myself in maintaining function of my legs due to my chronic disease. As to weight lose I have not noticed any upper body/torso difference.

If you are over weight then yes. But a low calorie diet helps too. Everything takes time and effort, but just think, you can get a new car or a new house but you only get one body so it's worth the effort.

Hi Sharon, It has helped me lose about 8 pounds in a couple of weeks and have kept it off for an additional 10 or so! I think your results may differ but I think that it is a better method then diet pills!! Good luck!!

If you're a beginner, yes it can be helpful. It is a useful tool for exercising.

Yes it helps along with healthier eating and some portion control. I had not started an exercise regime. Feel it could only get better.

Only if you actually use it regularly. If you use it as a clothes hangar, stalk it, or use it as a statue it could possibly reduce your tone and fitness. It is an excellent fitness machine; the problem is it does nothing unless you actually use it appropriately. I've lost 20 pounds on mine, just 50 more to go.

yes, it will help with weight loss. It helps curb your hunger for "other" foods. I lost 15 pounds in 2 months. Eat a nice meal for dinner and raw meal for breakfast and lunch. I also ran 3 times a week ( 1 mile a day) and ate healthy meals. be active and it will help. Sorry to ramble,I just really love it. :)

You know, I've not seen any weight loss but I feel much better after using it. Perhaps the weight loss will come in time but for now I think it is just making me stronger. Hope this helps....

Certainly one will lose weight doing cardio. Using the Desk Cycle is only one ingredient to weight loss and fitness. Obviously nutrition is also significant. Using the Desk Cycle, exercise bike, treadmill, stepper, or any other cardio exercise, burns a lot of calories when done under a prescribed program of time, resistance, and intensity. Balanced with exercise should be foods low in fat, with fruits, vegetables, fish, and salads.

Haha that's a funny question. Well I think it depends on how often you use the "machine" and what sort of work out you do on it. Any "machine" you buy will help you with weight loss but you actually have to use it. I use my machine 3 times a week for 20 min...so I can't say I'm shedding pounds but I am just maintaining some level of fitness even though it's small amount. I also eat very healthy so that helps with losing weight...

All of the products in the kit were current as far as I could tell. However, I have tried this entire thing twice now. I would suggest you spend your money on a gym membership or a piece of home exercise equipment. This does not assist in weight loss. It did make me energetic. But the claims they make did not work for me.

I have had this machine for several years and find it to be very well made. As far as weight loss, yes, I think it works well. If you use it regularly!

Its not the best fat burner but if you can control your eating then it works great. Its great for energy and ridding yourself of water weight.

they curb app very well. and you can lose weight pretty good without expercise. of course as with everything else, you will see max results with some exercise. but the main key is to drink lots of water

No I don't believe it helped me lose weight but it did make me feel a lot better. It gave me more energy, a better overall feeling, and keeping my system clean. So I guess with continued use, it may help you lose weight because of a higher metabolism, more energy, and overall feeling. This can help you to do the things that you miss out on, and doing those things may help you to lose weight. I hope this helps.

This solely won't help you lose weight. I use it with a workout while trying to burn fat, but retain muscle. If you want to lose weight, I recommend using the myfitnesspal app (http://www.myfitnesspal.com). It does take work because you do need to track all of your calories of everything you eat per day. It gives you a caloric goal to lose 1-2 pounds per week. I've lost 35 pounds with the app. Do research about why protein is important in a diet and use this to achieve your daily protein requirements.

Sure anything that gets you up moving and causes you to sweat will help lose weight but only a cardiovascular workout which is what this machine helps with won't help you lose a lot of weight. This machine is good when paired with a full workout that includes some strength training too.
