Iis it possible to tilt the aeat backwards? I feel as if I am slipping off and have to push myself back very frequently.

I know the seat can be raised or lowered but I don't know about tilting it. Probably the best thing would be to get blocks to put on the pedals. I have the same feeling - it helps if you have that rubbery seat for comfort. I think it sort of holds you in place.

I have no issues like this. I sit and ride and watch TV with no problems. I added a gel seat cover and I love this bike.

No, at least on my seat. I added a Schwinn gel cushion to enhance comfort. Perhaps you are leaning too far forward so be sure to raise your handle bars and experiment with the seat height. I also ride with padded cycle shorts on occasion. Start with a sort of upright position and pedals only action then add the arm motion after you get your stride. I add it after 1.5 minutes. Lastly, experiment with different textured shorts or tights. Hope these help. The seat attachment on mine fits directly on the post unlike a regular bike seat with a tilt mechanism. You cannot simply buy a std bike seat to add the tilt mechanism as one reviewer opined. No, at least on my seat. I added a Schwinn gel cushion to enhance comfort.

The seat that comes with the bike is not adjustable. The seat post is bolted to the seat. Sorry.

I replaced the seat with a derri air 11" gel seat with adaptor and it can be tilted by adjusting the bolts underneath the seat. As far as the original seat, I don't think it could be tilted.

The seat does not tilt. To fix this, the best bet is to visit http://www.exercisebikeseats.com. They offer adjustable bicycle seats and an adaptor plate that fits the Schwinn AD2.

height only adjustments from the factory. If you feel like your are slipping around there are other seats that can be purchased. I duck taped a foam sponge, like for car washing, on my seat and it makes the ride less of a pain in the butt.

The lever on the left allows you to "rock" back when it's up and doesn't not rock when it's down. That's the only tilt I'm aware of

No, it does not feel like you're going downhill. There is no up or downhill adjustment. You are simply standing up straight while doing the circular peddling motion of your typical elliptical. The only "wheels" are two very small rollers on the bottom for easy sliding of the machine across the floor. Hope that helps!

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

Gravity takes u upside down when you place your hands over your head and lean back.Do the reverse to right yourself upV easy

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

I returned it. As much as I liked it with the heated seat, every time you would get up the seat would fall back. If you tried to lean your back on the back of the chair, you feel like you would fall over. It wasn't worth it too me.

I have, but it's kind of heavy for me. I'll usually lay in bed, position it on my lower back and press against the bed. It works much better when you have help.

yes! read the directions. don't mean to be rude. i had the same problem. there is a knob in the middle you have to turn and you will be able to get them to move and get the tension you want.

I felt the exact same way. I tried lowering the belt lower than the manual recommended and began to feel more in the middle. Also strapping it down tighter and gettign up to the max volts helped. It's not defective, but I don't believe we feel it in our middle abs as much because those are typically stronger than the sides.

If you are sitting in the chair, reach down to the right and pull the locking tilt control arm straight out to your right then lean back. It's either straight up and down or all the way back. There does not seem to be any setting in between.

The crossbar at the bottom is adjustable to most people's height. After that is done, to use the device ... you simply step up onto it, securing your feet between the bar and the pad above it, position your back against the big upper pad, put your hands on the upper handles and push yourself over backwards. Once you feel like you've remained inverted long enough (you should be able to tell) , just pull yourself back upright.

I'm very careful when I sit in my swing. i try not to move too much but to just enjoy "hanging" there. I don't feel very stable, so it is not just you.

You tip while laying flat. You start in an upright position, and it pivots at the waist while you're flat. You can tip it all the way backwards until you are upside down and literally hanging by your ankles. Or, you can tip back until you're comfortable. It basically just stretches you. It's a lot like laying flat on the floor and someone pulling your feet and your hands straight back to lengthen you. You should see a doctor though!!!

I have year round allergies and have felt no adverse affects while on the inversion table. I feel a little pressure in my head but that is due to blood flow and being upside down. The secret is to start off slow and at the 20 degree angle, then work your way up to full inversion over time. It worked for me!

All depends on the certain movements being done. You might feel it when trying to keep posture and form correct. Other than that if you had previous issues with lower back then you might feel more than others. I have reccommended for certain people to maybe use ropes while sitting on a chair. Although it might seem to some as defeating the purpose, you are still getting the benefits without any type of additonal strain. Older people, knee problems, even back issues chair can be used. Adjustments need to be made for how you are postioned and seated to get the most from it. Hope this helps.... If not just very long winded...LOL LOL LOL All depends on the certain movements being done. You might feel it when trying to keep posture and form correct.

It is alittle bit. I hold on to the bars, and bend my knees (bringing your weight towards your feet). Theres a point where your center of gravity flips the table back to the starting position. If you find it hard I would lower the feet harness (before you begin) so that your center of gravity is more towards feet then your head. That way when you want to flip back it takes less effort. good luck
