This exerciser is decent for the money; I have to stop and tighten the base every so often though, and I find it annoying. I still like to use it for both my upper and lower body.

Comments about Pedal Exerciser:

This has to be braced up against something solid like a table leg. Cannot use sitting on a couch as it slides on the carpet. Cannot use on couch as sitting too low. Have to use sitting higher like on a kitchen chair and has to be braced or it will slide away.

Comments about Pedal Exerciser:

note-it works best when you put the arch of your foot on the pedal.you have to pedal with your feet almost perpendicular to the floor,like an equal sign(=)foot directly on top floor on bottom,this will prevent slipping,if that makes sense.you can sit any way on a couch/chair, at any angle.Also as it describes in the instructions ,the pedal metal ,where the twisty thing is gets VERY HOT,but will cool after one minute.I didn't believe this until I slightly burned myself,while grabbing that part...I plan to loose weight with this machine,in combination with weight lifting and eating less...

I would recommend this to anyone
