I know how to adjust the resistance, but how do you adjust how high the steps go? Mine rise just a few inches. Not a great workout.

I was breaking my head trying to figure it out. I just kept turning the knob towards the right side and after a few seconds, you'll see one of the pedals rising a bit. Do it to preference, but I was finally able to raise my pedals and now it feels like I'm doing something!

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.

Check to make sure the cable is around the pulley. Also, you can push down on one side of the stepper and pull the other side up, this should raise the side you are pulling on.

Im not home now but im 5 foot 1 inches tall and i dont pull it all the way forward. The resistance is pretty tough on level 1 though. Just FYI. Mu husband doesnt think so but hes a marathon runner. Im only a halfarathoner. Lol. My 12 year old can touch the pedals from the front spot but resistance gives about a level 2 to 3 type workout even whwn set on level 1.

It's definitely more up and down than side to side. There are little bumps on the steps so I've never felt like I've been sliding, even though the steps do slightly go to the side when you're on the downstep. i think it feels more natura to have the slight side movement rather than strict, straight up and down.

In the lowest setting, the height of the riser is ~7.5 inches from floor to tip, but the top 1.5 inches fits into the leg of the bed. Thus, their stated adjustment range of 6-10 inches seems accurate. If you have reflux & need the head of the bed raised more than that, you could always leave the original wheels on at the foot of the bed, & just use these at the head of the bed (& the middle if you have legs there also).

The tension is not adjustable, however the mini stair stepper is not as tough to use as a 'real' gym stair stepper. It'll get your heart rate up enough to feel like you went up a slightly inclined hill. It's a good product for what it is. Hope this helps you!

Super easy to raise and lower. There is a little knob that you pull out while you are pulling up or pushing down on the rail that you want lowered or raised. There are little holes that the the notch in the knob go into so you can have the rail at the desired level. Each of the four corners have their own knobs so you adjust each corner one at a time.

You have to adjust the feet. I had the same trouble at first. It has to be leveled because all floors are not perfectly even.

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation... If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

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

On mine,it always starts at zero and I click it up to the resistance I want. It's never stuck on a level before for me.

There is no adjustment. There is a statement on the box that claims "smooth magnetic resistance" and as I understand it, the resistance is supposed to increase as you pedal faster, but I can't tell if anything is happening or not. All I can say is that when I'm pedaling, there is enough resistance for me to feel like I'm working hard, but I'm not a serious athlete. If manual adjustable resistance is important to you, this gadget won't satisfy you.

I just got this stepper and I do wish it were higher. Did you ever find more risers? I tried putting all 4 on one side and then put books under the other side, which worked well enough but kind of lame.

I adjust it where I want it. Set levels, I dont think so. I do really love this bench. Also, very comfortable. It's a good looking bench. To me it's worth the money.

You need to be on the stair stepper to get results. It's very easy to use & really helps get your heart going & good exercise!! :-)

There is no real tension adjustment on the rower. Resistance is dictated by the amount of water in the unit... the more water, the greater the resistance. There are marks on the side of the water vessel to provide level recommendations. I've found that if the water level is near the top two marks you get a good workout. Hope this helps.

We have 15 steps of various levels. I set the blade level to the highest setting so that the blade does not hit the steps, and I drag it backwards up the flight of steps....you have to be moderately strong to pull it up...and then to take it back inside, I roll it down the steps forward....

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.
