Cycling improves your cardiovascular health, boosts the functioning of the heart and blood vessels, and decreases your risk of heart disease. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of cycling without spending a ton of money with the affordable InStride XL cycle from Stamina Products. Unlike most exercise bikes, the InStride XL cycle doesn’t come with a seat. Instead, you sit in a standard dining room chair or lie on the floor, then insert your feet into the sturdy rubber straps. Once you’re in, you can pedal in forward or reverse motion, with an adjustable tension knob that lets you vary your intensity and an electronic monitor that times your workouts. As an alternative, you can even rest the InStride XL on a table and pedal with your hands to experience a full-range upper body workout.
Improving your cardiovascular health isn’t the only benefit of cycling, of course. It also increases HDL (good cholesterol), reduces the amount of triglycerides in the blood, and helps lower blood pressure. And thanks to the dual-use pedals, you can improve your muscle strength in your legs, arms, shoulders, and back, depending on the configuration you choose. Other cycling benefits include increased flexibility without stressing the joints, improved digestion, better lung function, and a higher metabolism.
The InStride XL cycle, which includes non-slip rubber feet, measures 19 by 12.25 by 15.25 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 9 pounds
Stamina 15-0120 InStride Cycle XL Reviews
I bought this thing because I wanted something easy to put together, cheap, and where I can use it while watching TV. This has been perfect for that! It’s been 2 months, and I’ve had many days where I’ll take this little thing out, turn on the TV, and just go. When I’m done 30 minutes later, I’ll put it away in my closet easily. I’ve even added some 5 lbs. dumbbells for assistance.
I will totally acknowledge that…
…if you’re looking for a vigorous workout, this won’t do it.
…if you’re looking for all-inclusive sports equipment, this isn’t it.
…if you’re looking for something that’ll count your calories or time for you, this won’t do it. (It comes with a timer, but it’s nothing special.)
…if you’re looking for something to replace your daily workout, this isn’t it.
However, if you’re looking for a cheap option that will complement your regular exercise routine while sitting, this is a great option.
I purchased this product to continue my walking in place exercising while at my desk during work. I absolutely love it. Eight of my walking team members at work have ordered it also. I feel different muscles in my thighs being worked out as I petal the bike in place. It works great for me and is a great product. I only wish it had a pedometer along with the timer on it. I clip my pedometer to the side of my shoe to get my steps accounted for. I recommend the machine for those who want to work out and strenghten their leg and thigh muscles, especially to improve circulation.
This is a great, stationary pedaler that we purchased for my husband after he had knee surgery. It has a solid frame that is easy to grasp and move around and the tension adjustment is easy. Much better than the one at the local medical supply store with its teeny, lightweight frame, smaller pedals and higher price!
This product does exactly what it suppose to do. You are not going to train for an high level athletic event. Yet, this gives you something to do more than just sitting there wathcing TV. Something is better than nothing.
