Leg Magic Exercise Machine

Putting this thing together was absolutely frustrating. A piece that was supposed to "slide on" had to be hit hard repeatedly, then the screw to hold it in place wouldn't even go in all the way. After removing the piece and trying straight screw-to-metal, it still ended up jammed. On another end, a big plastic piece that was supposed to have a hole to put a screw through DIDN'T have the hole, and I had to create my own. The handlebar is wobbly as hell, and the workout video is useless since most of the work is done off the machine - gee, who didn't know lunges and squats are great for your legs? That's not what I bought the machine to learn. So it's basically one exercise - sliding your legs back and forth. Does it give your legs a nice burn? Sure does. But the product overall just didn't live up to the hype for me.

I recently purchased the Leg Magic with great anticipation for a good workout. Putting the machine together was simple and easy. Of course I expected it to be harder than it looked on television, most things are, HOWEVER, I really think that there should be a statement to include the following.. The total span of the glide is 36" or 18" on each side. Persons under the height of 5' may have difficulty using this product! I am only 56" tall, once I get on the Leg Magic, my legs are spread 36 inches which makes it nearly impossible to do one or two reps which means about 4 seconds of your time~ having to do exactly what the video says not to do, which is to lean into and or hold tight to the hand bar..It's impossible NOT TO..It takes your entire body to move the glide rather than just leg action. I am not a doctor or scientist, but I will bet one who reads this could explain this in more technical terms but in honesty this machine is not for those Vertically Impaired!! SO although I believe this is a great idea, and a great concept, I think it unfair to let the consumer assume that it is suitable for people of all sizes. I contacted customer service at Leg Magic, and received a very prompt response telling me maybe I am using the machine to often and over exercising.Guess they didn't read my fine print!

Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Less expensive thru Amazon.com than other websites. Different muscle groups worked than treadmill or eliptical. Not the least strenuous, but the most productive.

I love this machine...I have purchased many pieces of fitness equip. over the years - most are used for drying laundry.

I noticed some concern with short people - I do think the manufacterer should consider an additional setting to put the handle lower. I am 5 ft. 3 in. and I just make it - best with sneakers on.

Over all - you see results fast. Easy to jump on for a few minutes in the am and again before bedtime. I can handle that since I am always on the run and have a hard time putting in an hour exercise tape - or even a 30 min. one. If your problem is inner and outer thighs - this is your ticket. Thanks to everyone who writes a review. It's because of you I tried it.

I bought this machine because I wanted something that would target the inner thigh muscles and it does. The day after I used it the first time I had trouble walking and I work out every day. It definitely targets muscles that other exercises and exercise machines don't work.
