Stamina Instride Cycle

I have difficulty walking, so getting any exercise at all is hard. But I put this in front of me while watching TV and I have actually lost some weight! You can adjust the tension so it is easier or more difficult to peddle and it was very easy to assemble. I would recommend this product to anyone with back issues because you can sit down and still get your heart rate going. The best part is no flat tires!

I bought this for my father who is elderly, but needs to continue some sort of excercise, it is perfect for him. He can sit and watch TV while peddeling and can set it on a table or his Tv tray and peddel with his hands for upper body strength. Loved the stamina cycle!!!

Although it is not of the sturdiest construction, it is what I expected to get for the price. It's definitely adequate enough to burn a few extra calories while watching TV, reading, etc. I don't rely solely on this floor cycle for all of my fitness needs, but rather to supplement my existing exercise program. I recommend it. Just a bit of advice, since this floor cycle tends to scoot across the floor while using it, just weigh down the front of the cycle with a couple of hand-held weights (dumbells), and that should do the trick.

I bought this for my mother-in-law. She doesn't get out of the house very much and needed something that was not to hard on her joints. She sits and peddles while watching TV. She loves it. Great gift for the person that needs to keep active but doesn't get out.

For $25, I can't really complain about the product. I don't use it as a self contained workout, just something to supplement my weight training because I don't have room for a full upright and its too cold to go biking right now. I'd recommend it so long as you're not planning on using it as your only means of exercise. It is easy on my knee though (weak tendons) so its got to be good for older folks or someone who has joint problems. The only problem I can say I have with it is the rubber stoppers on the end. They don't pop off, but for some reason, they have a tendency to roll now and again which puts the bike off balance. Oh well, for $25, its worth it.
