StaminaInmotion Compact Strider - Seated Elliptical with Smart Workout App - Foot Pedal Exerciser for Home Workout - Up to 250 lbs Weight Capacity

My 38 year old daughter suggested that I buy this mini eliptical. When it is facing towards you, with the metal plate facing you and the little digital display is facing you, it is fantastic for under the desk while you work on the computer, or when you are sitting watching television. It glides so smoothly and doesn't make any clicking sound. It is heavy, so you need a good arm to move it, but it is possible for me (I'm 68) and my daughter to put it wherever we want. My daughter likes to use it the other way. So you turn the machine away from you and you use it as a stand up elliptical. She does 30 minutes every day as a break from her computer. I find it harder to do this because it does not come with handles and you feel a bit like you are going to fall forwards. You do get your balance, but I would suggest keeping it close to something you can grab onto in case you need support. Once you get your groove, let go and enjoy the ride. I brought it to a couple down the street, and they loved it as well. It is great for me because I have some circulation problems starting in my legs. This is just the right equipment for that condition! Very good quality, very good price. A keeper for sure.

Me está ayudando mucho a hacer ejercicio, es práctico usarlo

This was very easy to assemble and everything was nicely packaged. I have used this several times already, both standing and sitting, and absolutely love the smooth feel. The monitor easily snaps in and out so you can switch the display to face you whether you are sitting or standing. I am not a very coordinated guy and do not even know how to roller skate so I was not sure how well I would fare standing up, but it was a breeze!! If you are going to use this standing up, always follow the instructions and mount and dismount using the lower foot pedal and use a wall or chair for support if you are not confident in your balance. I recently tried to learn how to ride a Trikke (basically a 3 wheel scooter) and fell on my rear end because I am a klutz and made the huge mistake of leaning backwards. This shook my confidence, but I refused to be defeated by this machine and am happy to say that I am having no problem using this standing up.I am very surprised there are not more purchases and reviews of this product since it is very well made and a great value. I also like the fact that this has a handle, which makes this easy to transport. The unit is a bit on the heavier side, but not so heavy that I would downgrade my review. Also, I have an L shaped desk, and I have to store it on the side without the keyboard because there is not enough space to move my legs, but that would probably be the case with any under desk elliptical.One thing that is not mentioned in the description is that you get free access to the muuv app which gives you the ability to design an exercise program around different activities beyond just the elliptical. I have not used it yet, but plan to soon. The unit comes with resistance bands which you can incorporate into your routine. Finally, there is an instructional DVD with various exercises for your consideration. When you register the product, there is a free exercise guide to download, so yet another perk. Quite frankly, this exceeded my expectations because I thought more of the unit would be cheap plastic. The base is solid metal, and the pedals are large enough to ensure a safe and productive workout. Just take your time, go easy, and you will enjoy this elliptical very much!! I highly recommend this product.

Me encanta! la compré para tener algo de actividad en esta contingencia, es perfecta para personas que como yo no son tan Fitness por que es fácil de usar, puedes mover la resistencia y en gral los brazos también se trabajan a gusto. Me iba a comprar una bici fija pero definitivamente fue mucho mejor esta adquisición. Sufro de mala circulación, con 30 min diarios se me quita la hinchazón o pesadez, si quieres hacer cardio y sudar y sudar nada más le bajas la resistencia y aceleras el paso. Es pequeña pero no es la clásica que cabe bajo la cama, sin embargo es mucho mejor que cualquiera de esas mini escaladoras. La recomiendo mucho!

Excellent ....much easier to glide with each step..quite heavy...easy to put together
