Is this product just for physical therapy? Or can it also be used for a good cardio workout?

Hello,This item primarily is designed to provide an excellent low impact way to provide a great cardiovascular workout from the novice deconditioned user to the athletic user. It's low impact movement and low starting resistance makes it ideal for PT also, but it's high end resistance and total body features appeals to any user looking for a great workout. Hope this helps,Paul Taulton Bodydesign Fitness Products

Of Course, although its controversial as to when its "most effective". It's great after an intense cardio session. Its so refreshing and relieves most most, if not all soreness!!

Sorry it's taken so long to answer this. No, I would not count this as a cardio workout. I step up and down on my grandchildrens' stepping stool for that. As you can see, my workout is very low tech - a hoola hoop and child's step stool. One last thing, get a set of back exercises to strengthen your core. Hoops hoop 15 minutes, stair step 15 minutes, core exercises 15 minites.

I'm really not sure what you mean. I am using it under my treadmill. It helps to protect the wood floor and to make the treadmill quieter. I am sure you could use it for exercising, if that's what you mean.

It's not self-propelled, so it can be a workout. You might want to look elsewhere.

Yes. I use it for my most intense cardio sessions. Drink 15 mins before, it works fast!

I have used it for some pilates moves, like combining leg lifts and leg circles with the hundreds, as well as single leg stretches but I've never seen the infomercials. It doesn't do much to improve the exercises unless you are working on your form. It makes the moves easier which is not very useful. I always do the exercises the right way a second time because it never feels like I did them.An exercise ball is much more flexible.

Not sure. It is pretty powerful and if you so some streches and squates while on it you certainly get more of a work out. I also bought it to reduce cellulite however I have not used it regularly enough to say that it works for this purpose. I like the machine and was sore after using it the first couple of times on fast setting I'm thin and fit build

You can use it for upper and lower body exercises as well as the stomach. There is a video and a large poster with directions and pictures of how to use the chair for each of the different exercises. I was in a wheel chair when I bought it because I had broken my leg and my ankle. After a year of inactivity, I needed to start to exercise again. It worked extremely well for me. I still use it for strengthening exercises.

You lay on the floor or a hard surface,put your ankles on the top,turn the machine on, it moves every part of your body.You can feel thecirculation. especally good for people that are not able to get out and walk, but good for anyone.I like the machine and should use it at least twice a day. I wouldsuggest a yoga mat to lay on.It is a passive exercise where the machinemoves you, instead of you moving the machine.

Top secret makes a cardio pump which I have but have not used. I think this would work good for cardio just take a 1/2 scoop

Yes, for a pure cardio workout it will work just fine. There are enough resistance settings to keep it interesting and challenging enough to actually give you a workout. It's a great bike for the price.

Hi Amy, if you have it on the last setting than that's the best you're going to get. I'm having the same problem too. I Decided to use the rower for muscle building/toning and get my cardio on recumbent bike. Of course there are other ways to get cardio exercises. I hope this helps.Good luck, Frank

I have not used it for weight workout! Just cardio! With machines and running outside!

I do not perform aerobics on it, but use it at a stand-up desk on a wood floor. In that setting it works well and does not slip around.

It is not a vibration exerciser - you will be using your muscles to get the blade to "wobble" back and forth. And YES, you can get a good heart rate going! The faster you make the blade move, the more strenuous the exercise. This is really great for ARMS!

Hi. I bought what I found was similar to what was used at the Physical Therapy place I went for my shoulder and back injury. I like the tubes better than the bands. My husband built me a workout station at home that allows me to move the bands to different levels on the board for different exercises. I can do leg and arm exercises in one location, standing or sitting.
