Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.
Thank you for uploading this video. I'm a beginner at lifting weights and I know I'm not strong enough for the free bar yet, but for some reason the Smith machine always intimidated me, this helped a lot!
This is the kind of video still very much needed: a clear and simple explanation as to what the equipment is for, its safety features and a simple guide on how to use it and its not presented by some juiced up walnut bag yelling at you: simple and clear.
This is great... My partner showed me how to do this. Hurt like all hell the next couple days but that's when I learned the importance of pre and post workout stretching. Great squat workout for beginniners.
Pre workout stretching won’t do you any good. It’s best to just use lighter weights to warm up with the movement you want to do. Stretching can’t prevent soreness. If you’re not sore it means your muscles are adapting to the weight and movement level you at presently
This is great. I can never keep my posture with a squat very top heavy so naturally I lean forward. I enjoy using the smith machine as it does make squatting easier. :)
I'm watching this in 2024, I've seen a bunch of videos with this lady and she always explains things so well. I've tried to find her on Instagram but couldn't, if anyone knows where I can find her more recent content please reply to my comment and tell me
Thank you, bar positioning. Lower back tucked and protected on the drop. Footing alignment. I was looking for a good Smith machine squat video. To share with a client. Your's was on point. Thank you. Other people ( videos) are a mess. They have the bar way too high. Their footing was not aligned. You were on point. Thanks again.
I have wanted to try this Machine in my gym for a while but was intimidated, didn’t want to look stupid and wasn’t sure how to really use it. Thank you for that tutorial.
Thanks for this video. I’ve been a little shy to try to go to the “bro” section of the gym to figure out this machine but now I feel confident to try it out 😁 You explained it really well!
First time know how to untwist this. Have been feeling so puzzled about this “big guy” at the gym and after joining for almost a yr, i finally get the gut to just explore a little bit of that!
Wow I feel FINALLY confident enough to use it at the gym!! I've always wanted to squat with weight (more than the 2 5-lb weights I have at home, lol) but I was too shy and scared to come over to the smith machine. Thank you so much!! What an informative video
GReat it could also act as an alternative to guillotine neck presses, when the bar is fix on a vertical axis on your traps and weight is heavy enough try to escape getting crushed when you suddenly fail to get back up. 100% recommend for beginners, great way to induce injury due to muscle imbalance and over straining the quadriceps causing tendonitis.
I needed this. I would much rather use a free barbell but I tried to without any weight and I got scared because it was difficult for me to keep the bar straight on my back! If I loaded it id probably drop it all or fall and embarrass myself. I'm going to use the Smith machine to get more used to form with a barbell
Awesome video! Short and to the point. This woman is absolutely gorgeous! I recently started using the smith machine to do squats and wasn't sure if I was doing it correctly.
Good uses of the smith machine; -Australian pull ups -Incline push ups -straight bar dips -L sit pull ups -Front or back lever -Super challenging Handstands?? For me it's an adjustable pull up bar. If i use the squat rack for the same purpose i tend to get some funny stares.
I use the smith machine when there's no access to free weights. No hotel and resort gyms have large barbells. They have small free weights and smith machines at the most. I use it in this cases and yes, you can get a good workout. For instance I stayed at disneys Polynesian resort and they had a great gym but only small dumb bell weights so I used the smith machine all week. The ones saying don't use it are most likely not working out anyway, but just trolling.
I only ever used the smith machine for military presses because I could bring the bar all the way down to my lower chest area and just get a real long range of motion in super strict form.
This is the only thing I have at my gym so I guess I have to make it work until my contract is over. Is it really that bad? Or is it better than nothing
Of course it's better than nothing. It's just a running meme that the Smith Machine automatically grows a pussy on anyone who uses it. Ignore the elitists.
@@drewbocop someone with bad knee like my self it great and I still been able to what I'm wanting so I can hit free bar and weights on other things I'm willing to bet you're one of those Macho people who pass judgment on stairs at the gym

@MerkabaStar I CAN do proper free bar squats. And I did them for years. But SOMETIMES, things happen, and/or, the risks outweigh the benefits when squatting heavy and alone. Can't you understand that? I understand full well that free bar squats is the best method. I'm not arguing that point. What I'm arguing is there are times when a smith is a better/smarter choice. Why don't you lecture every big dude in your local gym who uses a smith for the same reason I do?
In 2 minutes my anxiety to learn how to use a smith machine has diminished. Fucking legend.
brother, same.
I don't know why but I appreciate this lady so much. She taught me so much in less than 2 minutes.
I swear!!!!
she’s got a point, she’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she IS the moment!
Less is more🎯
then that’s why
@@reese8453 ok hold your horses with the simping boi
This is a great example of how to explain something pure and simple without all of the unnecessary input
Exactly. I was looking for an explanation on how to use it and I thought I'd have to put with some 10 minutes video.
Thank you !! This is exactly what I was looking for. A short, straight to the point video tutorial for the Smith Machine.
I was so scared to use this machine since I have just joined a gym but now I know how easy it is. Great video.
ok
I really needed this. I'm a beginner and lifting weights on my own has been a struggle!
+Takita White Same here! It can be so intimidating
Roshni K me too lol
Miss. White Here i like your hair
Me too! Very intimidating.
studying season that’s why I go like 2 in the morning lol

How to use the Smith Machine:
“YOU DON’T.”
Thank you for uploading this video. I'm a beginner at lifting weights and I know I'm not strong enough for the free bar yet, but for some reason the Smith machine always intimidated me, this helped a lot!
Don't forget about Deadlifts and Calf Raises. Very versatile machine, and as you noted, very safe.

+shy87 there is no importance of stretching .. it wont prevent soreness
+tuoljg it definitely helps. I especially like post workout stretches. Feels good right before a hot shower.
@@tuoljg but it does
Pre workout stretching won’t do you any good. It’s best to just use lighter weights to warm up with the movement you want to do.
Stretching can’t prevent soreness. If you’re not sore it means your muscles are adapting to the weight and movement level you at presently
Pre stretching makes you weaker.
13 years later still delivers
No, its not just for beginner, I have back problems, and this machine helps me a lot with my back issues. Not just for beginners...
I don't mind the smith machine. But I love the raw feeling of knowing you can balance your self with a free bar.
good for you.
Nur Aqidah u mad
Chris Richards Lol thats what pussies say
how are you 3 years later
Thank you for the clear explanation. I’ve seen this at the gym but wasn’t sure how it worked. I hate squats but will try this!
This is great. I can never keep my posture with a squat very top heavy so naturally I lean forward. I enjoy using the smith machine as it does make squatting easier. :)

I use the smith machine with no weights! 🙃
hipnhappenin that is okay!
Why? Body weight squats would be more beneficial and natural.
Hey! So did I! I am up to 5 lbs now!! :)
Today I used it for the first time for incline bench press. I carried only 10+10 pounds 🙀
Thanks for this video. I’ve been a little shy to try to go to the “bro” section of the gym to figure out this machine but now I feel confident to try it out 😁 You explained it really well!
Thank you. Straight to the point. Am able to watch this on the spot HAHA
Great explanation. Thank you!
yes i learnt everything in 1 watch. I definitely wasn't distracted
I’ve been powerlifting for a year and have always hated the smith machine. Even as a beginner.
Squat rack always.
I hate squats

What brand of Smith Machine is this? This is by far the most sturdiest Smith Machine I’ve ever seen...
i've just singed up to the gym and these videos are really helpful. thank you!
ive been scared of using this machine bc i didnt know how to lock and unlock the bar so thank you!!
That was a great tutorial! ❤
Awesome video! Short and to the point. This woman is absolutely gorgeous! I recently started using the smith machine to do squats and wasn't sure if I was doing it correctly.
This is a miracle machine, thanks to this i could squat 25 kgs(12.5kgs on each side).
i am feeling oldschool days with this video when i start gym first time 11 years ago ,
now everyone fitnes professor ^^
This really helped me a lot... I really was confused about this machie when I finally went to the gym
Very nice explanation, thank you!
In one minute i know my problem when doing squats on it.
Thank you so much, you taught me a lot.
That was really helpful thanks such a lot. I feel confident about using it at the gym now. 😃
very helpful video! knowing exactly what to do makes it a little less intimidating
Ty lady, i trust some1 fit like you instead of gym bros to teach me about the gym lol
short video but very helpful.
Didn’t realize you could also use this as a barbell for chest! Thanks
Thank you! I'm just starting, and this helped....I was using it facing the other way. Whoops.
Now I can use it! Yay! Thank you❤
Straight to the point.

Amazing demonstration!
Thanks for the advice. Since watching this video, I have moved onto back squats on a rack.
Great video. Thanks.
Your videos have been so helpful in starting my fitness journey thank you
Excellent video. Straight to the point
2023. This is good information.
Straight to the point
Nice quick tutorial!
Glad I found this after watching numerous pointless videos on how to rack/unrack the machine

I'm impressed you used a lav mic. Great sound. Good job!
I came here, after hearing news of woman dies lifting weight in Mexico.
Great explanatory video.
My gym only has a smith machine. I'm gonna use it for some heavy calf raises.
Not sure whether to go with leg press or this for the rest of my legs though, I guess I'll try them both.
Thanks for the video, I had no idea how to use this thing a few seconds ago lol.
Great video, thanks!
Very nicely explained
Great machine
Thank you!!
Smiths are great for calf raises too, a couple of plates on the floor and you're good to go.
did i hear correctly that the smith machine is bad for your joints?
Thank you!
I really like your videos thank you so much^^ nice lady
Nice but would like more on proper leg positioning please
Thanks you very much

Machine is great and safe
I use this machine for so many exercises
I've been using this to keep my squats up while I recover from a bad shoulder dislocation
Thankyou sister 🙏
THANK YOU!!! 💯💯
Thank you for this !
man look at the traps and upper chest/ clavicle muscle development on that girl!
wow this had truly changed my life
this machine is always in use
When do you show us the truck driving maneuver exercise?
I don’t get why someone would dislike this video
Thank you so helpful
