Can you adjust the tension or resistance for the steps?

Sorry, Rebecca but you cannot adjust resistance of steps. I do like this stepper a lot, though.

I'm not sure. Every time I tried to use it, it started pretty hard but then it kinda gets "smother" as you keep going. I can't remember if you can adjust the resistance bc I gave it away last year; sorry I can't help with that question :(

Not manually, but you can control the intensity of the pressure you put on the steps. It is a good starter.

no. You cannot adjust the resistance; however, the DVD tells you to take small steps, not to press down all the way. As you get stronger, you can take large steps and press down harder.

No adjustments on legs. That should`t be problem, small shims can be inserted under leg (s) to prevent rocking on uneven ground

Check the little giant ladder web site, they are comparable with adjustable step ladder

Yes, tension is adjustable. Be sure your door framing material is secure if you need high tension because the unit is attached to it.

Not adjustable, but you can put some felt pads underneath to level, that is what I did.

The resistance is adjustable, yes; however, both the arm and leg resistance are increased/decreased at the same time. There is no ability to adjust either the arms or legs separately.

It IS possible to adjust. There are slots at either end which allow the rungs to slide up or down so it would work for you. Hope that helps.

Simply, No. Sorry. You should also know that I'm not thrilled with it; in fact, very disappointed. It doesn't generate enough resistance to be worthwhile, despite the highest "8" setting. And when I tried to contact the manufacturer to ask about any additional, internal (i.e., inside the mechanism) adjustment possibilities, they never responded.

sorry, i don't know where or even if you can get additional risers for this step. my guess is that you cant due to the thin construction of the risers it uses ,lending to a destabled step if additional ones of same type were added.

No, there is no way to adjust the length. Each ramp folds in the middle but would not be suitable at 5'. The biggest problem is fitting the folded ramps into a vehicle for transport. Make sure you have space for them. However the 10' is just enough for a lot of steps. I tried an 8' and had to return it.

There's no adjustable incline option, you can just simply increase the resistance.

Yes, you can adjust the two bars where you like them. I like to use for it Classical Stretch.

I have the same problem. I've adjust every way I can think of but the steps only go up and down a couple of inches. I hope someone comes up with a solution.

You have to adjust it. I usually just use the programs and that Adjust the tension automatically. I would spend a little more and get a better model. The heart monitor has never been accurate and the steps tend to come off track if you go too hard for to long.

Re. adjustable tension. With the programs available, you could choose a screen course with 'mountains' or 'hills' and I think that would give you the resistance you want. I'm 78, my husband is 83 and we just use the basic more level-ground program. It's a fine machine.

You can't adjust the stride length. You can only adjust the stride incline (which may slightly increase stride length by perhaps 2 inches at max) and the resistance. Stride length is not a feature that elipticals have unless you can somehow find one with interchangeable fly-wheels. (hint...no such eliptical exists)

Yes. There is a knob on top that can be twisted to decrease or increase the pressure on the presser foot.
