Default Leg Magic???
In an effort to rid myself of my thunder thighs and jiggly rear end, I have been thinking of purchasing the Leg Magic machine. I am looking for something that is low impact, I have been using a step machine, but I think I am REALLY to heavy to keep putting that kind of pressure on my knees. Anyway, if any of you guys use Leg Magic, I would love to have your input on the machines performance and what you think of it overall.

Thanks,
Renee

Renee,

leg magic works wonders but only for the bottom half of your body. If you have problems with your knees - you definitely need something low impact - this machine would be it. Whatever you do - DO NOT CALL the 1800 # call center because they like to upsell you other things you don't need PLUS magazines subscriptions. I should know since I'm one of those agents LOL. Try to purchase from the LEG MAGIC website but what i would really recommend so that you get a good deal is go to CRAIGSLIST.ORG and try to buy a used one there.

With leg magic you'll feel the burn within 2 minutes of using and its low impact.

You may also want to try an elliptical - works out top and bottom and wont mess up your joints. I hope this helps!

libby if you are really out of shape this is what you will look like.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivScyOt-H7M

The girl in her video is with her trainer and he gave her some other piece of machine for working out her upper body- she is holding it in her hands to exercise. That part in her hands DOES NOT come with the leg magic. Like I said - leg magic works only the bottom half of your body. You don't have work on it that long to get a burn. I'm latin and have the curse of the wide diamond shape hips... this rounds them out and makes me look more toned (lifts your booty too!)

Once you get the hang of it.. you'll look like this :

I think they sell these at linens and things for $129.99

What a great question... I've been looking at it as well but was curious how much it actually worked at toning those legs. I have seen it at Linens and Things for $100.00.. .with their 20% off coupon that's been in the papers that would be $80.00... Not a bad investment if it actually works. I also use an eliptical every day and it definately does not impact the knees. I can do that but have a hard time on a treadmill because of the impact on my back.

This does not compare to the elliptical! :-) Elliptical is better for an ALL OVER BODY WORK OUT. I recommend leg magic ONLY for women who want something that is really going to burn those buns and thighs AND are complementing the leg magic workout with an upper body one. The machine works so well that if you were to only do this machine - the rest of your upper body will not follow - so you'll still have big arms if you are trying to loose their too (you burn in other areas but NOT as much). Kinda like when we see guys work out their upper body too much and have disproportioned sized legs . That's the best way i can explain. But yeah, it does work.

I am going to check out Linen's N Things --didn't know they sold them there, I also have a coupon--thanks Corr. I like the eliptical as well just don't have space for another big machie. I already have a treadmill, step machine, stationary bike, and hubby has the total gym. Guess you guys are wondering why I am so fat--LOL.

Thanks for the input guys.

Thanks for all the info... I think I will look into this. I don't have space in my home office where my treadmill is for another machine so this may be a good way to work out the saddlebags I can't seem to get rid of. FYI - Linen's N Things accepts all other store coupons so if you have a BedBath and Beyond 25% off you can use that at LNT.

Not for nothing, but do these people in the utube videos ever clean their houses? dang....maybe they should burn some calories cleaning up the clutter in their houses...they don't need leg magic, they need some Windex magic or somethin somethin'

Oh thank you SCAT!

I think a little bending at the waist, walking to a trash can a few hundred times would be beneficial.
