Will it work as a muscle stimulator? I mean, as a device to stimulate the growing of the muscles or a way "to do exercise"?? Thanks

I think so. It feels very much like what the chiropractor used on me when I used to go.

By "muscle stimulator" you mean will it stimulate the muscles to grow larger. No, definitely not. This is a pain relieving massager.

thinking about purchasing this. Would this bee too much for a person who is just getting into working out? I thought the program could be scaled back to fit my abilities now and increase over time. I would like to know what others think.

I Love this machine. Does it work? It depends if you use it consistently. I feel great when I use it. I typically do squats, ab twists and air boxing to get a total body workout. Last week I actually was on with my weights. I do not regret getting this machine but give it your best and I believe it will be good to your body :)

Only if you actually use it regularly. If you use it as a clothes hangar, stalk it, or use it as a statue it could possibly reduce your tone and fitness. It is an excellent fitness machine; the problem is it does nothing unless you actually use it appropriately. I've lost 20 pounds on mine, just 50 more to go.

No I don't think so, I think if you try to do that you will ruin the motor. I was actually disappointed in the bike, it is really ONLY passive motion. There is no resistance to set and if you pedal ahead of the motor with effort on your own part..it shuts down and you have to wait for it to catch up to you. I am going to sell it on ebay as a used bike. It would be great for a stroke victim that wants passive ROM with arms and legs, just not someone who is looking for a workout.

I'm not familiar with NuFace devices. They seem to deliver an electrical current to the body to stimulate muscles under the skin. I believe the gel is really made for devices that read electrical currents from the body such as heart rates, etc. But other people seem to have used it successfully in other stimulation devices, per some of the reviews. It improves electrical conductivity between the electrode and the skin. With a stimulating device, you might wind up getting more of a jolt than you expect, so take it slow and start on a low setting would be my advice.

It is not going to prepare you for a Body Building Contest, but has pretty good resistance when turned up. It can do more than tone, can build muscle to a point also, but not like heavy squats. Like riding a bike up a pretty good hill for the whole ride.

There are vibrators and oscillating vibrators . The latter works more muscles in more directions thereby , I would think would give a much more thorough workout .

It's like a lazy susan you can stand on and twist. The twisting would strengthen torso muscles some and maybe balance. I got it for the grandkids to have active play toys around.

I have never tried that, but since it works on the movement of the body I bet it does....

It depends on what you consider "adjustable" this machine allows you to set workout levels for combined arm and leg exercises. So, if you don't use your arms you can just exercise your legs which I what my wife does. All-in-all a very nice exercise machine that has help me regain much of the strength I lost form several brain abysses.

unsure. I am not impressed with the device. It seemed to provoke hair growth on my head, then on my FACE !As a woman, this isn't an outcome that I want !

Yes, I've found it build great strength in the hands/fingers/forearms and rapidly. The tension adjustment is a nice feature so you can adjust to your needs. Highly recommended. Don't exercise too much right away so you don't strain a muscle! Just build gradually. All the best...

I bought this as a part of a workout program I am doing. I use it mostly for soft tissue work. But I have used it on my back. Mostly for just stretching out muscles. That said, I have noticed that it really does help with tightness in my back when I use it. As a consequence, I now use it sometimes when my back is hurting. However the exercise program I am doing is also helping strengthen my back muscles as well. Long answer but this is how it is working for me.

I use it to work out. I had rotator cuff surgery sometime ago and think it could have been helpful. The one I used then from my orthopedic surgeon was more restrictive to help the healing process. Hope this helps.

You could probably set it up to do some ab work but I haven't tried any exercises like that. It's not really designed for that. By design,the device balances your body on it and if you were to lift your upper body all the way up, it might cause you to rotate back upright unless you adjust the settings so you are not balanced.

No, this is not a muscle building product. It is meant to burn fat by increasing your core body temperature. No muscle building traits to it.
