I am disabled w/back problems w/very poor balance but want to exercise which is hard to find something that will work. would this product allow that?

iy will work, but you have to ride your bike slower around bends. It will tend to lean (could fall) in the direction of the turns.

I think you would be better off with a stationary bike or a three-wheeled bike. Although these wheels help stabilize you when riding, you need enough balance to mount and dismount the bike when starting and stopping. The risk of falling in traffic is too high to warrant using a bike with training wheels.

my daughter weighs about 120lbs and she uses them just fine they are very sturdy she has balance issues also! They are sturdy enough for any weight I would believe!

There is a different device offered for $199 which is a large wheel. It attaches to one side of the rear wheel of your bike. It turns it into a tricycle of sorts. I think this would suit your needs better. Check for handicapped bike attachments. This wheel will be morecle,

Yes, they should work fine. If it doesn't fit your bike exactly take to a bike shop and they will adjust. One of the brackets fell where there was a weld on my grandson's bike and they bent the metal to fit. He rides like crazy. Also, another option is a 3 wheel adult trike. Look around my husband found one for $300 new. Try Craigs list.

Absolutely. We got it to help with our balance, and it's quite good for that. Comes with some exercise suggestions.

yes, if you have a strong back. I have a stack machine with squat assist that works perfectly for me. (My back isn't the greatest so soon after kids yet) with free weights its easy to get out of form. Arch your back once, improperly and you'll be seeking a chiropractor (believe me, I've been there unfortunately : ( ) I only use this set on my bench when I rotate exercises so I don't plateau out.

I don't feel it would be. It's primarily for stretching your spinal & vertebrae for those persons who have chronic back pain. You are to trying to realign the spine with the stretching & strengthening. The only exercises I've tried when I'm vertical is twisting slightly to the right or left to stretch my side muscles, but I don't try to pull up on it.

I don't have great balance either... It works best on a flat surface (not uphill) but I was ok with my balance. It is a workout, so don't expect it to be like a scooter.

Yeah, it would. This product really is easy to attach to any exercise unit. Be warned though, the small vibrations the machine makes get transfered to your laptop. I destroyed my computers hard drive just using this for 3 45 minute sessions of walking @2.5 mph (not fast at all). I actually wouldn't recommend it unless your laptop has a solid state drive.

No, I wouldn't recommend it. It gets too tight when you sit very long. It works better when you are up moving around doing something.

I'd say you need to be standing to use this device. But you'd be surprised how much exercise you can get in 5 or 10 minutes. If you can stand for that length of time a couple of times a day, I think this machine could be very useful.

You can use it for upper and lower body exercises as well as the stomach. There is a video and a large poster with directions and pictures of how to use the chair for each of the different exercises. I was in a wheel chair when I bought it because I had broken my leg and my ankle. After a year of inactivity, I needed to start to exercise again. It worked extremely well for me. I still use it for strengthening exercises.

I use it in the small part of my back in my easy chair mostly. When I first ordered it I thought it was for exercising but it is not for exercising of the low back area. I have scoliosis.

I would advise no. Balance is essential on this treadmill and I found having both hands securely in place necessary.

I haven't tried it since I bought mine because of a slipped disc, but if you were in the vertical position and you were just doing crunches and not trying to do full sit ups I thing it would work.

I had an ankle fusion done, and at a slow rate it has helped with my balance. My husband uses it at an increased rate of 16, and gets quite a deal of benefit for his sciatica as well as lower back problems. We are both 66 years old, so we only use it 5 minutes at a time, but we use it daily. I hope this helps you. Kathy and Ed

I can see it possible, but not for long.....I usually ride with my feet out on top (too crampy for my legs) and I'm 5'8 and it works fine, but there were a few times where the balance seemed to be off. Worth a try doing it though

I have used it as an inversion to relieve and stretch back. somewhat hard to adjust for proper balance

It is adjustable for height and someone would have to be enormously obese to not be able to use it. I use it frequently and it seems to help my lower back.

Probably not. I found that this is a little bit of a workout in holding poses and the techniques the ask you to use. However, I just skipped what I couldn't do. I am very inflexible, but I do workout and have quite a bit of strength.
