Can you adjust the amount of tension to vary the step pace?

no.. but is has a steady tension that keeps you moving. So that you know. I returned mine. I was doing about 1000 steps per day. After maybe 3 weeks it broke. I am 180, 5'11. I'm not sure how you're going to use it, but if you plan on using it a lot, it won't last. I was using mine at a good pace though. If you're light, say 100-140 it'll probably be a good buy for you. I will say, when I was using it, I loved it. It's seemingly solid. Hope I helped.

yes, altho the levels are not well defined, but you can feel changes as you tighten the resistance knob.

The "resistance setting" is technically infinitely variable ie As you adjust the Adjustment Screw it increases or decreases the amount of squeeze that the resistance break applies to the rotary shaft of the pedals. As such, the longer you use it, the hotter it gets due to friction. As you use it,you may have to loosen the Adj. screw to maintain the same resistance (as dictated by my husband *grin*)

You could check the instruction manual, which says: TO ADJUST THE TENSION/LENGTH OF THE EXERCISE BANDS FOR DIFFERENT FITNESS LEVELS OR EXERCISES: 1. DISASSEMBLE THE PLASTIC KNOT COVERS. 2. SHORTEN THE BANDS TO THE DESIRED LENGTH. 3. KNOT THE BANDS AT THE LOOP. 4. ENSURE THAT BOTH BANDS ARE THE SAME LENGTH.

I'm not sure. Every time I tried to use it, it started pretty hard but then it kinda gets "smother" as you keep going. I can't remember if you can adjust the resistance bc I gave it away last year; sorry I can't help with that question :(

You may need to adjust the tension in your workstation. Refer to the manual on how to do this.

yes! read the directions. don't mean to be rude. i had the same problem. there is a knob in the middle you have to turn and you will be able to get them to move and get the tension you want.

You can adjust it at any time, in manual or program mode. It has up/down arrows that let you add/decrease tension. Sometimes I just use manual option for my entire work out, adjusting it as I bike. Hope that helps

Manually, just one incline up. It is great as a walker and jogger. Then tension can be varied, but the incline is either flat or the one incline up.

Hey John, I don't think you can adjust the speed, but try to tighten the belt, see if that works. Otherwise this is just a manually balance cheaper version of a treadmill.

Yes, there are 3 tension levels. You change them by adding one or two knots. The instructions are clear on this. I have it on the middle or second tension level.

Yes. You can change the incline during use by selecting the degree /percentage via push button on the computer display.

You have to adjust it. I usually just use the programs and that Adjust the tension automatically. I would spend a little more and get a better model. The heart monitor has never been accurate and the steps tend to come off track if you go too hard for to long.

Yes, you just loosen the motor tensioner, move the belt up or down the pulleys and re-tension the motor. There's no rheostat or anything electronic to adjust the speed, pretty much standard on this level of drill press.

Yes. You can adjust the resistance manually or you can choose a pre-set program. Every workout session begins with the pedals at zero resistance.

There is an up down button that lets you control the tension. We like the bike, have used it maybe 30 times so far.

Yes, but you'll have to damp it manually, by adjusting the tension. Once you get that set to your preference, you're golden.
