Review of Leg Master Machine

dulwich — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 02:47:15 GMT

It arrived today - DH screwed in the two plugs, hardly any assembly very easy, lightweight - machine not me!

I have never been on exercise machine so DH supervising, me exercising. I get on hanging on handles manage to work legs creating a bashing noise at end of each rep manage 4 reps! DH laughing, dog terrified.

Get off and then read instructions - Ladies do this first.

Get back on, stand tall, try to control my legs so that they do not bash end of machine, this is the purpose - control - not hanging on handles - manage 3 reps.

Get off read reviews and watch video.

Get back on DH gone to pub, dog in garden, just me, Leg Mastet and timer - all action now, got it down, manage 6 reps. Got off had cuppa tea and cookie - feel good!

I do like this machine put my DD on it and we both agree it is harder than you think and you do feel it! I am going to continue until I can do my 50 reps. The premise is simple - I will master this.

f.y.i. I am not overweight, pear shaped but my only exercise is water aerobics but they are closed down now here in my area until March hence the Leg master and I do walk dogs. I think - as with all machines - you have to want to do it and keep at it.

LOL on your review. You sounded just like me a month ago. I tried to do it while my family wasn't home because I was so noisy, hitting the foot pedals against the metal sides. Oh my! I thought a minute lasted forever. Now I'm doing ten minutes a day and have noticed my thighs are tight & great muscle tone. No weight loss but definitely a change in my figure for the good. Btw... I've learned how to slide quietly as well, so we can all be a"HAPPY" family. Hang in there...

@Pamela330 Wow you really encouraged me thank you sounds like you are doing great! I am not in it for weight loss but like you need to keep some muscle tone, again thanks.

You're welcome. I have purchased several pieces of exercise equipment over the years but this is the only machine I've ever used, that actually showed results in such a short period of time on faithful use. It sure does hurt for the first week or two but now I'm so use to it. I even challenged my 16 & 18 year niece's to out do me. They gave up before the minute. Please keep us updated on your success!!!!

@dulwich thanks for the review....the cookie and and tea, ha, ha, that woudl be me, execpt for the tea, I am a big coffee drinker.

I wanted to purchase the machine when it was a TSV but did not....I am still thinking about it.

My thighs are my trouble spot, I do have a recumbent bike that I use but it is a tad boring to use all the time. Enjoy!

I bought it too and did it for the first time last night, only 20 reps but this morning, I did it for a minute and it gets much harder at that point! I found it much easier this morning to control it so no banging! I used to do aerobics but I'm at an age now that I don't think that's good for joints. Looking forward to seeing how this works for me. Definitely targets a problem area of the body for me.

P.S. I was very surprised how fast it arrived...lately most items take way too long.

@PH58 I agree my delivery was ultra fast!

Got on this a.m. handled it better - I think - managed a full minute which is how instructions say you should start - lost count of reps - but will have another go tonight. Not so much banging controlling legs better!

Holy cow, @Pamela330 , are you doing those ten minutes all at one time, or broken up throughout the day? If you say they are all at once, I will cry. 😭

I don't know if I'll ever get past a minute at a time. 😅

Do you think it is hard on your knees?I really want one but I have been having pain in my left knee.You sound like you are enjoying your purchase so far.I know you will master it but just go slow so you build strength and watch your form...most important.

@dulwich

Does this machine have a tension adjustment? From what I saw on a short look at the online video, this looks like it focuses mostly on one's Adductor and Abductor muscles. As with any new exercise, even for exercise nuts like me, one is smart to ease into it.

Results on any machine have a direct relation to how much effort a person puts into it. This machine, for those that want to work those specific muscle groups, it is easy to overdo it because not many everyday activities relate to those movements.

Sounds like you just might like this thing, best to ya!

@hckynut I am following the chart suggestions in the instructions where you start with 20 reps and increase by only 1 rep a day for 7 days then a day of rest following this pattern until you get up to 1000 reps. Sounds easy but you do feel it.

I can do the 20 today but my form is abysmal and getting the hands to coordinate just a joke - bit like trying to pat your head with one hand and rub your tummy with the other - still working on it. I do like this machine though!

I do my reps when DH out with ‘terrified’ dog and DH said he will not ‘sign off’ on my reps until he sees it with his own eyes! Onward and upward or slide back and forth lol

@dex If you have painful knee I would not recommend doing this exercise. The sliding footrests slide quite fast and until you can control it hits the metal ends and this would jar your knee - so wait a while until you knee better. Hope it heals well for you.

LOL...I WISH!!! I do one minute, ten diffrent times throughout the day. Believe it or not, you will breeze through the minute without pain after a few weeks. The lady that sells these does it througn the whole presentation almost without stopping. Wondering if she's really a robot?

Re: Review of Leg Master Machine

dulwich — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 04:31:05 GMT

@Pamela330 When you look at video of this machine I am mire like Courtney the host who kind of collapsed. I have been on machine 3 times today so you are better than me - but there’s always tomorrow! We don’t want to be robots anyway! Lol

Re: Review of Leg Master Machine

dex — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 13:01:13 GMT

Okay, now I don't feel like such a failure @Pamela330 😄. But I do need to up my game, I only get on it around three time a day.
