Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item kzfaq.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.

Hi thanks for this video .. I am having a slight trouble while using this machine ... when I buckle the belt on my hip bone and have higher weights I end up with really sore and painful hip bone and it I move it slightly upwards to the stomach it’s a lot of pressure on my stomach ... is there anyway to avoid the pain on the hip bone ?
@daniblizzfit3 жыл бұрын
One thing you could try is tucking like a hand size drying towel under the belt! Folded like a long rectangle ! Also try the belt like low hip, lower then you’ve tried- just make sure that you tilt your pelvis anterior during thrusts, don’t let that weight drag an arch in your lower back!

I would suggest this- yes! or a folded towel. It can definitely hurt the heavier you get ! I like to use it as well for a "B Stance" Hip thrust - which I don't go as heavy for so it's comfortable!

If I had lower bad pain after using this is it most likely due to not being strapped in right enough?
@daniblizzfit3 жыл бұрын
Yes- make sure it’s as tight as possible and it could be that when you were performing the thrusts your lower back had an arch ! This will be fixed if you tighten your core/abs and tilt your pelvis forward to keep your lower back from arching !! You might have to lift lighter until you perfect that!! And also work a lot on planks and dead bugs for core exercises to strengthen :)

@daniblizzfit2 жыл бұрын
Does your hand fit behind your back? Your pelvis might be in too much of an anterior tilt- too much causing strain! Especially where the weights are pulling from under. If you do a barbell on top, instead of machine- does it hurt low back?

@Bangiohoho3 жыл бұрын
It's probably you, an arched back while performing hip thrust often means that you have anterior pelvic tilt (APT) so you need to focus on controlling your hips to get a good form before overloading the machine. I suggest the video of Jeremy Ethier about anterior pelvic tilt on KZfaq to see if you do have it

I think i'm going to stop using this machine. It doesnt seem to have a safe rest at the bottom. So when you start loading weight and if it becomes to heavy and you drop out of the exercise you'll hurt your back. The smith machine has stoppers in case you fall out of your rep.
