Are the arms ajustable so that they dont go back as fair? Also does this machine hurt your shoulders any useing it once or twice a week?

Yes you can adjust arms or sit the way you like it and no it won't hurt your shoulders- really great machine

The arms are adjustable and no this machine does not hurt your shoulders period. I use it approximately 5-7 days per week and I love it. I have been using weight machines for 40 years and this is really good.

The arms have 6 adjustment positions so yes they can be set so you don't have to reach back too far. It doesn't hurt your shoulders. You control how many plates you put on it. I use it 3 or 4 times per week starting with 40 pounds and up to 70 pounds with my last set...and I'm 60. So no worries.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though.

Gosh, sorry for your injuries and the pain you must be in. I am sure it could be moved but really don't recommend using this product with just one hand. There will be balance issues. The handle bar jirks if you go over a bump to fast, even the transition in house flooring. (tile to carpet) I would recommend a knee walker with lock down brakes. I tipped over trying to get up the step from garage to house. You don't need to fall on that hurt shoulder. That was with 2 good hands.

I agree with other response. The rollers make it easier to push onto the arms, but it doesn't roll freely.

The handles are contoured to fit your hands and fingers, so it is very easy to use for your arms. My wife uses it exclusively for her arms, which have toned up very well! A buddy of mine who is retired was so impressed with this machine, that he bought one after trying ours out.

This purchase is one of the best ones I ever made for fitness equipment. The pros are compact, cheap, battery powered (monitor readings only) instead of using electricity, and gives a decent workout. The cons are changing the 2 double A batteries every 2-3 months, applying pressure to the rubber mat to start walking, I don't run or jog because I don't feel it is safe on this machine for some reason, not suitable for people over 5'10" because the surface is not long enough, and I feel that I need to hold the side bars to get a good balance while applying pressure to the mat. But other than aforementioned, I would recommend this machine to anyone who just wants to walk.

No I would not buy it again. It looks nice and I think is a decent quality for the price, but it isn't all that comfortable. I haven't had issues with the arms, but I haven't used the chair much either.

We moved a washing machine down a flight of tight, steep steps with one of us being out of shape and had no trouble with it. I assume they would be better because they use your back versus your arms.

I love mine. I've had it since feb of last year, it was wobbly at first but my husband used his own tools to re-tighten. And no more wobble. It has so many different settings and workout types. I'm never bored with it. It's very heavy/sturdy. I would recommend it.

Yes, the arms move back and forth. I have mine set on carpet which makes it difficult to operate but if you set it on a firm floor it's a great buy for it's price. It's not the same as the ones at the gym but it gives you a workout

I've use my inversion machine at least 3-5 times per week and I've own it for approx. 1 year, I've never felt endangered. Getting the right settings for your size is important, now I must say you need to read the instruction and be sure your within the weight limit of the device. My wife has back problems and she hangs at about a 40 deg angle and it really helps her with her back issues.

It is probably OK for arm workout. You could C clamp it down if it moves. I don't know hoe heavy it is.

My wife is the main user of this machine, and only weighs 110. I've had to set it up for her for some of the exercises, and used it occasionally myself, and I weigh 295. There hasn't been a problem, but I don't use it regularly.

No. But you wouldn't want to. I've been using this device for over 6 years, and it's the movement that makes it so comfortable, practical, and invaluable to the ergonomic health of your arms and shoulders.

It is not overly comfortable, but fine for 10 to 15 minutes. 30 minutes will probably be uncomfortable as you can not rest your arms easily. If you are at a table and can use that for arm support, that is more comfortable. The seat cushion is very thin. Hope this helps.

Yes i use it three times a week VERY tough, it has made my calves grow more than before when i only did standing calf raises. THis machine makes my calves BURN. You could probably drop it off a 10 story building and it would be fine, it is a heavy machine. I have used some at gyms but this is the most comfortable and you can adjust it 6 different holes, two 45's seems way to heavy and i am strong

It can be. It all depends on what you do with the machine. When you let go of the handles, you can swing your arms as if you are walking or jogging. Your legs can be straight or slightly bent. I have a variety of different exercizes that I do. I just keep moving; and before I know it, I've gone 30 minutes plus.
