would you recommend for..? would you recommend this for a 5'11 female who just wants to tone?

Yes. You'll usually use a single resistance tube which is 40lbs. Don't forget though, you can use 3 of them, hook it to the door then pull yourself toward the door. Doing it this way will provide a low impact exercise that you can vary the resistance by the angle of your body away from the door. This is a great product!

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.

Yes! Its actually a great program for women. If you need help figuring out what weights to use and if supplements are for you feel free to contact me. I have seen tons of success for women. As you may know, muscle burns fat even when you are resting. So properly building muscle is a huge asset to a female. https://www.facebook.com/beca.gingerich

It has been a while since I ordered and returned this item. I ordered it for my wife because of back surgeries and "weak legs", but she didn't get to try it since it was the wrong model. Some of the reviews at the time of ordering complained about it being one speed and therefore making it difficult to pedal on hills and inclines. Depending on your child's age it could be a good way to strengthen her legs. Being a retired spec. Ed. teacher, I know this type of exercise is important, but I don't know her particular circumstances. If she has a physical therapist, they would be the best to give advice. Hope this helps.

I am 47, 5'2, and 120 lbs and I love mine and think its perfect for me. I am also moderately fit and think this would be ideal for you! Good Luck!

I think this workout is very good for toning up. Very less equipment needed. Lots of cardio.

I don't have too big of a problem with saddlebags, but I do have small ones. I have noticed a little reduction in them and I have been doing the program for about a week. I am also at a normal weight for my height. I have just always lacked a little in the tone, definition and shape area. These DVDs do help and there is a specific program designed within it specifically for your body type. ps. I'm guessing with the saddlebags come some cellulite? It will help some with that too.

Hey man, I understand your sentiment completely. I have the same problem. Our of all her workouts, this is the one you'll havethe least problems with. There are only 2 cardio workouts that involve a lot of movement. This workout is prefect of you don't want to cause a disturbance. Just don't abruptly drop your heavy weights (but you shouldn't do that anyway). But seriously- don't worry about it. This is a perfect solution for your issue. (I'm also not paid to say any of this if anyone was wondering. I swear by this workout)

I would go with the Ballet Physique, first of all its cheaper and you are a beginner, and second of all the Physique 57 woman is really hard to listen to. She feels like she needs to fill every second with talking. They are both great workouts, I just didnt personally like the Physique 57...

I don't see any harm, it's totally worth a shot. It's not very big either so stores nicely in a corner or closet. It has a smooth variable resistance setting so you can go slow for strength or easy and fast for cardio. You will need to by the handles for arm style separately but they are worth it & make sure to place it on a steady table at proper height to get most out of it. I actually sit on a pillow because my table is tall for me. I have never used the foot pedals, not sure how good of a work out you will get from that?? The Arm Bike style is the way to go in my opinion. Hope this helps!

It has given me an excellent workout. So far I've only used it on the lower resistance levels (1-3). After the first few days, every muscle in my legs got sore. The resistance goes up to 8, and I aspire to one day being fit enough to do most my workout at this level. You also 'get out of it what you put into it.' If you peddle faster, at higher resistance levels, you'll definitely get a good work out. Mine is very stable , but I only use it on carpet or a rug. However, I'm only 5'5" and 135 pounds, and ride for about a half hour everyday. If one weighed 200 lbs. or over, and wanted to ride much more than that, I'd invest in a heavier, more expensive bike.

I purchased one several years back and loved it. I am 5'8" about 175. You can use this to get cardio - I have done it easily. You can really push your workout and get cardio within 20 or so minutes or less. You can lean forward or back to increase the tension (your weight is the tension). You can push the handles faster, you can generate the widest range of motion - good for your joints. I recently have used rowers because they work in my space better, but I LOVE the Gazelle - great for the money. Good luck!

Yes you will this woman has a great program. My problem is my time is limited at times with some personal issues at my house. The first two weeks I owned the program you will definitely feel the burn (in a good way) and I'm starting mine back up. In fact I have "decluttered" a lot of my other exercise dvd and sold them back to companies because this program is a good one. I'm 48 and overweight and sedentary life style and work a desk job. She has a little accent but you will adjust and I have read positive things about the program also.

This workout would be perfect for you. I have also done P90X along with a few other workouts. This workout won't bulk you up but it keeps you tone and focuses a lot on safe and creative core exercises perfect for general fitness and stability. It also has enough cardio so you don't have to hit the treadmill afterwards. Hope this helps.

My wife uses it more than I do and on a regular basis. Of coarse she's weighing in at 120 lbs and wants to keep her figure this way. Its just perfect for her size at 5 ft 4 inches. She uses it at 3.5 mph and burns alot of sweat. I m much taller at 6 ft and there's not to much room but I manage.
