Very effective for targeted areas.
Okay, let me just say that this has by no means transformed my body..but it does do what it claims, how well depends on just how much you use it..what a concept!

First, the assembly. Speaking as someone who is shall we say NOT proficient when it comes to putting things together, this was not bad at all..if you have the picture in front of you and follow the straightforward instructions. The Leg Magic sits in my dining room permanently and does not take up much space. It can also be easily folded up an moved into a closet.

Back in the days when I actually used to work out (before I worked a 60 hour a week job), I would have scoffed at "As seen on TV" exercise equipment. Now, here I am, older and out of shape, Ill try anything where I have a chance of some benefit (with minimal effort of course). This appealed because, my lower body needs help..and it was cheaper than a treadmill. I have yet to make a committment to a rigorous workout routine, but I do manage to get on the Leg Magic for at least a 2 minute (timed) "session" each day. At the end of it my muscles ache and I swear that Im going to start doing it twice a day...and I will evetually.

My point is, even with just this short burst each day, I do feel a difference. Though I'm at a reasonable weight for my height and age..gravity is taking hold in many areas, especially in the rear and upper legs..now inner thighs are looking a little different..and my legs look different in shorts. Like anything, your results depend largely on what you put into it. That said however, this machine does provide great return on investment for the amount effort involved..particularly for that inner thigh area to above the knee. In my opinion if I were willing to put in even 5 or 10 minutes a day broken into say 3 or 4 sessions (which I will eventually!), it will make even more of a difference in a relatively short period of time.


P.S. Workout DVDs annoy me, so I dont bother with them even if they do come with equipment so cant review that piece

Frustrating
Putting this thing together was absolutely frustrating. A piece that was supposed to "slide on" had to be hit hard repeatedly, then the screw to hold it in place wouldn't even go in all the way. After removing the piece and trying straight screw-to-metal, it still ended up jammed. On another end, a big plastic piece that was supposed to have a hole to put a screw through DIDN'T have the hole, and I had to create my own. The handlebar is wobbly as hell, and the workout video is useless since most of the work is done off the machine - gee, who didn't know lunges and squats are great for your legs? That's not what I bought the machine to learn. So it's basically one exercise - sliding your legs back and forth. Does it give your legs a nice burn? Sure does. But the product overall just didn't live up to the hype for me.

NOT FOR PERSONS UNDER 5 ' TALL!!!!
I recently purchased the Leg Magic with great anticipation for a good workout. Putting the machine together was simple and easy. Of course I expected it to be harder than it looked on television, most things are, HOWEVER, I really think that there should be a statement to include the following.. The total span of the glide is 36" or 18" on each side. Persons under the height of 5' may have difficulty using this product! I am only 56" tall, once I get on the Leg Magic, my legs are spread 36 inches which makes it nearly impossible to do one or two reps which means about 4 seconds of your time~ having to do exactly what the video says not to do, which is to lean into and or hold tight to the hand bar..It's impossible NOT TO..It takes your entire body to move the glide rather than just leg action. I am not a doctor or scientist, but I will bet one who reads this could explain this in more technical terms but in honesty this machine is not for those Vertically Impaired!! SO although I believe this is a great idea, and a great concept, I think it unfair to let the consumer assume that it is suitable for people of all sizes. I contacted customer service at Leg Magic, and received a very prompt response telling me maybe I am using the machine to often and over exercising.Guess they didn't read my fine print!

Great Leg WorkOut
Easy to assemble. Easy to use. Less expensive thru Amazon.com than other websites. Different muscle groups worked than treadmill or eliptical. Not the least strenuous, but the most productive.

Love it!
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.
