I have not been in shape for quite some time, but having once run marathons and been in top physical form, I was yearning for a way to get back in the swing without jarring my knees and feet with jogging, running or jumping rope. I spotted a print ad for this machine in a local retailer’s catalog, and immediately was drawn to the way it gently and without harsh impact, works your thighs, butt and legs. I have several herniated discs, suffer from double plantars fasciitis, and degenerating knee cartilage, so I was not about to invest in a machine that would keep me in pain from Day One. This is no such machine. In fact, I was able to keep up a pretty steady routine from the first week, provided I warmed up first, as the instruction manual states. It stores nicely in the corner, is not too heavy, and is sleek and attractive, even if you have a small space in which to keep it. I have not experienced any excessive pain in my back or feet, so the motion is not negatively impacting my health conditions. I work up a good sweat within minutes, so the cardio benefit is excellent. I am totally happy with this purchase and recommend it to anyone who wants a good aerobic workout and lower body exercise machine for their home. The instructional DVD is to the point, no fancy flipping acrobatics, and very easy to follow. Also includes diet and nutrition guideline booklet. Well worth the investment.

I can’t believe I am saying this… this product actually works!!! And it works wonders! I have only been using it a week and already am seeing results. I did the video every other day and tried doing it as much as I could on my days off during the commercials on t.v. It’s harder than it looks! Sixty-second bursts aren’t something you can typically do on day one, let alone longer than that. The video can be challenging but I just take breaks in between. I certainly can’t do the full length video yet! Not only does the leg magic tone your thighs and butt, it strengthens your core too. You have to stand up straight to keep your balance and hold your abs in strengthening your core muscles, and thats definitely a plus! I would recommend this product to everyone because it really does work!

Let me start by saying this, I’m no newbie to exercise – I work out several days a week and I still found this to be very challenging! This machine does a great job of reaching that elusive inner-thigh area. I can only use this for a few minutes at a time, but I still feel the burn in my thighs the next day. Also, because you need to stablize your upper body, you also get the added bonus of an ab workout.

I don’t think you get much of an outer-thigh workout as you do inner-thigh, so I would recommend incorporating a resistance band with the exercises or bending your knees to work your inner-thigh as well.

I love this machine…I have purchased many pieces of fitness equip. over the years – most are used for drying laundry.

I noticed some concern with short people – I do think the manufacterer should consider an additional setting to put the handle lower. I am 5 ft. 3 in. and I just make it – best with sneakers on.

Over all – you see results fast. Easy to jump on for a few minutes in the am and again before bedtime. I can handle that since I am always on the run and have a hard time putting in an hour exercise tape – or even a 30 min. one. If your problem is inner and outer thighs – this is your ticket. Thanks to everyone who writes a review. It’s because of you I tried it.

I am so happy that this exercise thing-a-ma-jig has made it to the market! It replaces something which I used to do for exercise in my hotel rooms,when I was still a flight attendant,trying to get a good, quick workout before meeting my crew in the lobby. I used to get a “crazy-carpet” that I’d roll up in my crew bag (a semi-stiff,slippery, glossy piece of plastic,used in the winter time for sliding down snowy hills,kind of like a sled) then I would put double socks on my running shoes,position the crazy-carpet onto a carpeted surface, place myself in the center of the plastic, then slide my legs towards the center, using my feet, without lifting them off the plastic. After hundreds of reps, you’d feel the burn…and it would definitely give you results…my legs looked svelt, my clothes were looser…the problem…I’d sweat so much, that the sweat would land on the plastic while I was sliding, causing the “gliding” motion to cease, and the plastic to bunch up! Crazy idea, but hey, I did it…lol.

The leg magic is the SAME MOVEMENT as what I did back then, only without the annoyance of sweating on the plastic, thereby making it foolproof, and assuring an effective workout. This is what I have been waiting for in a long,long time…and believe me, if it existed back then (in the 90′s) , I would have gotten one IN A HEARTBEAT! I have been using mine for almost a month now, and I can see my legs getting more and more svelt…a great workout, very efficient, not hard on the legs at all…just remember to bend the knees ever-so-slightly, and it will be your best friend!And stretch before and after your workout.It is so good, that I am planning on bringing it back to Europe with me!I love this leg magic thing!Dynamite device!
