Tired of trudging to the gym for your cardio every day, but don't have the space or money to invest in a home exercise bike? Turn to the Stamina InStride Cycle XL, a portable folding exercise bike that gets your heart rate up while storing easily on a closet shelf. The InStride measures a mere 19 by 15.25 by 12.25 inches (W x H x D)--about the size of a small suitcase--so you can bring it to the office or on vacation in a pinch. More significantly, the InStride lets you pedal with your feet while seated for a lower body workout, or with your hands for an upper body workout. As a result, you can improve your cardiovascular health and strengthen your upper and lower body muscles all from the comfort of your own home.
The InStride Cycle XL is equipped with a battery-operated electronic monitor that times your workout and keeps you motivated. The unit's convenient tension control, meanwhile, offers several resistance levels, so you can vary your workout intensity depending on your fitness level. And thanks to the sturdy nonslip rubber feet, the InStride stays securely in place while you exercise. Other features include handy foot straps, a durable steel tubular frame, and a pewter gray finish. The InStride, which weighs a mere 9 pounds, carries a 90-day warranty.
The Benefits of Cycling
Cycling improves your cardiovascular health, boosts the functioning of the heart and blood vessels, and decreases your risk of heart disease. It also increases HDL (good cholesterol) and reduces the amount of triglycerides in the blood, helping lower blood pressure. Of course, aerobic conditioning is just the beginning, as the constant movements demanded by the InStride improve your muscle strength in the legs, arms, shoulders, and backs. And exercising your muscles helps prevent osteoporosis and the risk of broken bones. Finally, cycling helps you maintain flexibility without stressing the joints, and can reduce discomfort from arthritis or back pain. Other benefits include improved digestion, better lung function, and higher metabolism.

Stamina 15-0125 InStride Folding Cycle Reviews
| 51 of 51 people found the following review helpful:  Poor design, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Stamina 15-0125 InStride Folding Cycle (Sports) I bought this to move my legs while I'm on the computer or watching TV. Although setting it up is easy (one screw) the final product is not worth the money, in my opinion. - The grips do not stay in place on the cycle nor do they grip to the floor (hard or carpeted). - The foot loops are plastic and feel cheap and poorly constructed - they did not secure my feet. - There is a resistance knob, but it is difficult to turn and only has two settings - free and easy or slightly more difficult. When pedaling, it is hard to achieve and even flow, instead it feels choppy (probably from the poor resistance). - The little black timer counts seconds but nothing else and is difficult to reset (though easy to pause). This product would probably be better suited for hand pedaling as a way to get your heart rate up when other exercise is too difficult or dangerous, but for someone who just wants a little more movement during a sedentary job...

My only beef with this bike is that, it's kind of a jerky motion when you are pedalling it. The reason for the jerky motion is the lack of a FLYWHEEL, tadaa.. But we cant expect a whole lot for the price ... and hence the title for this review. Goods: Small, Folds, Light, variable resistance Bads: Jerky motion, tends to move away unless you sit on a very high chair. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: definitely, get what ya pay for..., By ArrDeePea "FPS Enthusiast" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Stamina 15-0125 InStride Folding Cycle (Sports) Good: Very Afforable. Small footprint. Ideal for adding some activity to gaming or tv watching... Bad: Design is friction-based...this is very bad if you're like me in thinking that a ~60minute set would be the ideal time to exercise with it. The friction creates LOTS of heat, and yes there is a warning label on the unit about this - but it creates so much heat by 20minutes that the pedal bars are hot enough to burn your legs if they come in contact with it. It is likely that I use it at a higher intensity level than other might, and this is good for smoothness of motion but really bad for friction and heat! I do find myself having to pause quite often, as others here have mentioned, to adjust the positioning of the unit due to gradual deviation of the unit on the floor... I think it's a decent device that could really be made better. I just wish it didn't get so pipin' hot after only ~20min's continuous use. |
