What A Great Workout
I just love it! It gives a great work out on your thighs. Rosalie Brown really knows how to work your entire body. I don't know why people complained that it only works your inner thighs. With me I could feel the work on both inner and outer thighs. If you follow the DVD and really do the exercises the way Rosalie does it, you will definitely feel the burn on your thighs. The key to a good exercise with good results is to do it right. If you feel tired, shaky and out of breath just stop and try again tomorrow. Give it time to build up strength and you will be surprised of how much more you can do the next day. For example if you start jogging, the first day may you will be able to run for a half a mile. However, you will be surprised that the next day, after half a mile your muscles and body feel the need for a little bit more, and you will do it because you will now have the resistance to push a little bit further. In my opinion persistence and exercising correctly will give you great results with Leg Magic.

This works great-if you're 5'3" or taller
I really like this machine-another reviewer said it was flimsey but I totally disagree. At least the one I received is high quality and easy to assemble-no hidden problems putting it together, and it had very few parts to assemble which all came in the package. I can really feel it working-I already am in good physical condition, but this seems to be targeting inner thighs and buttocks even better and very quickly. I do agree with another reviewer that the machine probably is not good for a person who is under 63 inches tall. I am 5'4" and it is a slight stretch for me, but not uncomfortable. I think anyone under 5'3" would have a difficult time-unless you have very long legs and a short torso. I love it!

Great supplement workout
My thighs are my problem area and I bought this machine because it specifically targets those areas. I think of the Leg Magic as doing something similar to what crunches do for my abs - firming and toning. Just like I wouldn't expect to lose weight by only doing crunches, I didn't really expect to lose weight doing the Leg Magic, but I wanted to tone an area that doesn't really get worked out much. I do cardio workouts most days per week, but usually running, stair-climbing, or the eliptical, which all work the fronts and backs of your legs but not the sides. This machine is a perfect supplement for your other exercises because it gets at those areas which most other exercises miss, and some people do seem to lose weight from doing it (more power to you!). I don't do the DVD (because it works muscle groups that I feel I work out in other ways), but I do 1000 reps almost every day - 500 inner thigh reps and 500 outer thigh reps. I just do 5 sets of 100 for each. I don't do them straight though; usually on commercial breaks or something. I found that the inner thigh workout was really good - challenging but not overwhelming. I didn't find the outer thigh workout as challenging, so I bought a resistance band and tie it around my ankles when I do it, which really adds some resistance and makes the exercise more effective. I've only had the Leg Magic for three weeks and I already notice a big difference in the toneness of my legs and I've lost over an inch on each thigh. Overall, I'm really happy I purchased it because it is really effective for specific areas. I would be much less likely to recommend it if someone was going to only use this as their main source of exercise, but if you just want to supplement your workout or if you're happy just getting specific areas worked, than this would be good for you. I'm extremely happy with my results so far and I hope to see more in future. Just make sure to use it regularly (having it out at all times serves as a good reminder) and make sure to use correct form so that you don't hurt your knees.

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.
