Can you do situps on this product?

yes---pretty good for that too. the back rest has 4 positions, and i put it all the way down to do inclined sit ups. i also do tummy crunches by placing my butt at the end of the back rest (when the bench is in a flat position), holding on to the top bars and raising my legs slowly and holding for 30 seconds. 20x and it's pain city...but i've got some abs now. not bad for a guy 65.

Yes, there is an "exercise" sheet it comes with and shows how situps can be done. If you put the back rest in the full decline position, then you can sit on the seat, wedge your ankles in and do some situps. It's tough because your back doesn't really hit anything - tighten your abs to stay horizontal and then back up.

I haven't tried it, but it certainly seems like you could do sit ups. Love the machine..saves trips to chiropractor

Not easily, although a little more easy than the longer ones (vests). It's possible, but be prepared from some very awkward sit-ups with the weights digging into your back.

I suppose but am not sure how that would work the core. I'm assuming you'd be sitting. I don't think you'd get much of a workout with it that way. Just my opinion.

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.

I can do a partial inverted sit up on it. I can't do a full inverted sit up because I'm not physically able to. I don't think it is as good for this application as gravity boots. However, I think someone in better shape could probably come up with something they were happy with. If you get carried away with it, you can shift your point of balance too much and it will go back over.

yes! I bought mine for exercises. i do a sitting exercise that uses my arms for movement, but you could do what you describe as well.

Yes you can do unassisted inverted situps . I was able to do them just fine. Not using the optional yellow stop bar allows you to go a full 180 so you can do a situp. Quick tip, if you just try to do a sit up, the weight shift will make you go back up. What you have to do is crunch your lower body (feet) as you bring your upper body up so that the inversion table doesn't shift up from your the body movement. Not sure if that makes any sense but it works as long as you have the strength and the right movement.

Yes you can you become completely inverted I have not done any ab workout, because I can not stay inverted for very long, the blood runs to my head This is very hard to assemble, the instuctions are not very good. If you do purchase this, when putting together finger tighten the screws first and then tighten after assembled. I used a small rolled up towel behind my back for strech, that seems to help. If I could do over, I really dont think I would purchase.

Yes I seem to be able to. Just don't buy the shoulder attachments. You might want abdomin guard extension depending how tall you are.

I can't see why you couldn't as the vest falls just below your chest. Unfortunately I don't do traditional sit-ups anymore to give you a true answer. I take on the non-traditional ab/core workout as you would see in the Insanity program. The vest never bunches up for anything else that I do. Its very well built and the velcro straps are sturdy so it keeps it tight to the body. I can say that the vest is one of the best purchases for training purposes that have ever made. You'll be amazed how fast you get used to the weight during your workout. I swear by it and highly recommend it. Hope that helped. J

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

I just use the mat for situps on a hardwood floor. But if you are going to use it for tumbling you would have to make sure that the mat did not move. But the mat is thick and wide enough for you to tumble with. I have had this mat for a while now and the quality of it is great.

you can do almost anything, provided that you have strong balance and control skills... Since the power dip station hangs from a chin bar and only rests on the door frame, you would need to adapt (removable) straps to secure the station while doing rows, to prevent it from moving to the sides and backwards... Good luck

There are bars you can hook your ankles under and knees over. You however could put your feet on either of the bars to do the exercises; I think (I'm not sure it's long enough to do crunches on the bench itself. Otherwise the bars can be used any way to steady yourself for arm exercises.
