Can you operate forward and reverse, as to maintain muscle balance.

You can, but they say you should put in an piece (that they provide) to make sure the pedals don't unscrew over time. Also, I recently have used it alot less because I feel since you don't sit exactly (100%) in a straight line from it, I feel my back feels a bit weird after using it alot (I'm also pretty sensitive about my body).

Yes, it makes no difference if you peddle it backwards or forwards - the resistance remains the same.
906444
Yes, you can pedal in reverse. However I have not done that with this trainer because I believe the instructions warns that the pedals might come off if you pedal in reverse. Before I got this trainer I had a recumbent bike that I pedaled in reverse and one pedal was always coming off and interrupting my workout. That was annoying so I don't pedal in reverse on this one and I don't have the piece that keeps the pedal on while pedaling in reverse.

Yes, with your legs or your arms. It is easily used for both. And you can go forward or reverse, you can sit in any chair but not with the feet up in a recliner. You can adjust the tension you want to use, and go forward or reverse.

Yes, you can pedal either the legs or arms in forward and reverse directions to work different muscle groups.

It pedals both forward and backward. I used it in the floor and braced it against the wall. But leg strength is far greater than arms.

You can, however I have noticed it seems to loosen the screws faster than forward walking and I usually have to tighten them after a workout that included reverse. Not a big deal but thought I'd mention it.

It doesn't take much to flip back to right-side-up. I move my hands to shift the weight and the table just wants to go back upright. So I move my hands from below my head to my waist and it starts moving to the upright position slowly, then I grab the hand rails and effortlessly pull it the rest of the way.

A bicycle maybe, a motorcycle... probably not. I don't think you could do the back and forth motion to rev up. There are supportive metal strips on the top of the hand and under to protect you from breaking your wrists, and they limit your range of motion pretty drastically. I actually went to Triple 8's website to find out how to measure properly.

Yes , all you need to do is just position the lever to go forward or backward or to free wheel .

Yes. As for reverse dips use a chair or stool for your feet . Reverse push ups off the ground and or chair depening on your workout needs.

Yes, because the back rest can adjust backwards or forwards to your knees are in line with the hinge where the weights are placed.

you can push yourself backwards easily but would have to pull with legs to go frontward(that with back to bar)

One could do them simultaneously if you like. Simply do different upper body exercises with weights while walking/climbing on these. One could do bicep curls, shoulder press, tricep pushes, and other things. However, I recommend not doing anything with your chest or back. Balance is a small issue on this walking machine. I suggest not toying with that balance much. It would be easy to cause injuries without going as far as falling off. So when not on the machine do push ups and tricep dips and other more horizontal exercises.

I would think so.Your main device should let you move balance from left to right

If you mean get stuck in full inversion by accident, I don't think so...have not experienced that. There is no pivotal control...just body weight balancing to adjust the inclination until you reach full inversion...balancing by extending your arms over your head.

No, you need to use the other hand to hold the stabilizing armature. It takes a few trys to get the right angle for yourself. I hold the armature while holding the Wedge next to my body for reverse curls, then I hold the armature with my arm extended to preform curls.

I don't think switching the wirse will make it reverse. Don't know how to slow it down. Sorry

I think you can on the right side of the controller is a small joystick for forward backward left and right.I think you can run it with your pointer finger

I would think it would. As you balance you are utilizing smaller muscle groups such as hip flexors ( those tendon feeling muscles on the front of your hips) along with your abdominal muscles which support the lower back and hip area.

At first I did but when I focused on my posture and working my core, butt and thighs I was able to naturally balance myself. It just takes practice...just a bit.
