Does it do much for the abs, biceps, triceps, deltoids and rotator cuff

Hello, I own a very, very old machine but it still works on the same principles. I would say that yes, this machine will give your upper body a great workout, more so than the legs. Use less legs and use only the arms and upper body and you will feel the burn. I think it is a great invention and hard to find for some reason. Good luck on your workouts! LT, USA

Bought this mainly for a cardiac workout, but it really works your upper body especially if you add weights to it. Great machine for a small space. I am 5ft 10in. 6 ft is probably the upper limit for comfortable use.

No. Not much if are already fit but if you are more than 50 lbs over weight then you will notice improvement because you are moving! I was hoping for more because of the little woman working out with Tony on the infomercial but no luck. Wish I could return mine for a full refund as I am not seeing results. Back to cardio!

Yes, but only if done for at least 30 minutes straight. You can also add weights to it, the ones that slide on with the hole in the middle. You have to buy those separately.

Dear BNL,It's a great piece of work out equip for your upper body: triceps, biceps,& deltoids. I'm not sure about the rotator cuff & as far as the abs go; it's fair. It also gives your legs an incredible work out depending on where you place your feet (upper pedal position). Overall, it's a great piece of equip! I hope this helps.Michele : - )

Yes, it is the one machine that can do all a person needs for a complete workout. One of the best things I like about the Healthrider is the weight, size and flexibility and large enough for a great workout, but also compact enough for any room you may choose to keep it in.

Sorry, but wish I had not bought it. Just to small for big man. Had old version and I loved it. But it broke.

Not really. The arms are great for armbars. The unit itself was stiff but I bought it for my kids and hubby to practice body throws, lifts and arm bars. Hope that helps. :-)

basic on my experience ,the spinning will determine what kind of shape for your triceps and biceps, for example when you set 30 degree ankle a for a couple time the sensation you feel at you body (biceps and triceps) will different when you try at 45 degree ankle or 90 degree ankle at your body (biceps and triceps) etc so when you try at every movement pushup by spinning this stuff, it will really made your biceps and triceps looks better than traditional methods,the matter is when i used this item the strength/power that i used for pushup is less than traditional methods therefore need more time for workout to get perfect biceps and triceps when use this stuff , but i thinks it's worth basic on my experience ,the spinning will determine what kind of shape for your triceps and biceps, for example when you set 30 degree ankle a for a couple time the sensation you feel at you body (biceps and triceps) will different when you try at 45 degree ankle or 90 degree ankle at your body (biceps and triceps) etc so when you try at every movement pushup by spinning this stuff, it will really made your biceps and triceps looks better than traditional methods,the matter is when i used this item the strength/power that i used for pushup is less than traditional methods therefore need... » Read More basic on my experience ,the spinning will determine what kind of shape for your triceps and biceps, for example when you set 30 degree ankle a for a couple time the sensation you feel at you body (biceps and triceps) will different when you try at 45 degree ankle or 90 degree ankle at your body (biceps and triceps) etc so when you try at every movement pushup by spinning this stuff, it will really made your biceps and triceps looks better than traditional methods,the matter is when i used this item the strength/power that i used for pushup is less than traditional methods therefore need more time for workout to get perfect biceps and triceps when use this stuff , but i thinks it's worth « Show Less

It's not really wide enough to use for back. I use it for triceps and biceps only.

Yes, it does. If you really want the most bang for your buck (and time), recommend T-25. This is a fun work-out though and does really isolate adductor, abductor, glute, quads and hamstrings well.

It shows you how to do tricep dip, deep angle push up, double arm curl, front shoulder raise, concentration curl, yoga headstand.

Dear MonaThis is not the primary use for these.However because it does lift fascia I suppose it might have an effect. On cellulite.

I don't know if it's used for that. I know it works great on my partially herniated disks in my neck and my shoulder joints.

I had rotator cuff surgery back in 07 which is why I bought another one of these. You can ease in to the work out and limit the amount of force you exert. However I would not recommend using this to it's full extent until you are completely healed. When all else fails ask your Surgeon or Physical Therapist for their recommendation.

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.

I had rotator cuff surgery in Jan. '13. When I was able to start rehabbing, my assistant recommended I start out slowly with the Bodyblade. She said it would work the smaller muscles and tendons I had re-attached. It was a bit uncoordinated at first. I still use it today as my main workout. It's a miracle exerciser and today I can almost do everything I could do before my accident. I'd highly recommend it to any age.

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.

it stabilizes the whole shoulder including the muscles. I've had trouble with rotator cuff and this product has enabled me to continue pitching and 49 years old

That's a hard Question for me to answer .I do use it on both shoulders ,but more on the left right after my morning work-out., then on my right after my afternoon nap, or watching a baseball game

Have to ask a Dr. about that, I suppose. My wife uses it regularly for her back and shoulder muscle aches and pains and gets fairly good results.

Hello, I wouldn't use it for that personally. It may cause skin peeling and you would need a lot to be able to do the whole arms. These results usually don't show within the first week or so.
