Stamina InStride CycleXLCycling 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.
Sports reviews of Stamina 15-0120 InStride Cycle XL
Customer Review: Good value.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this product as a replacement for the basic pedal exerciser model, which broke after about a year of use. This is much sturdier than the old one. A great benefit is that it slides far less on my hardwood floor. The timer is pretty cheap and nothing fancy, but, let's face it, if this is your primary piece of exercise equipment, that is exactly what you need. The size is also quite convenient for hiding it away when it's not in use.
I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be able to do some exercise while watching TV, but doesn't want to put the time and money into getting more complex exercise equipment for their living room.
Customer Review: Not your "normal" use
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I recently purchased 2 of these for my assistant and I to use in our middle school library. After a few days, we moved them out from under out desks and out into the main part of the room. Immediately, we noticed several of our more reluctant readers would sit quietly and PEDAL while they were reading. I've noticed one particular young man has increased his reading dramatically when he is allowed to use the "bike thing", as they call it. I'm currently talking with my PTO to see if they will give me funds to purchase more. GREAT PRODUCT ! ! ! I did remove the timer simply b/c middle schoolers love to keep pushing buttons.Customer Review: Neat little pedaling machine
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Well made little pedaling machine. Heavy, sturdy, works well. Obviously, if you are looking for a strenuous exercise you should look elsewhere. This is for people that are just starting an exercise regime or looking for a way to get some movement while sitting and watching TV or at their desk. I tend to spend too much time at the computer and this lets me at least get some motion while I'm doing this. The other machines I saw here at Amazon looked flimsy. This one looked more substantial. I purchased it and was pleased when it arrived. I've used it for a few weeks and it does exactly what it says. Glad I made the purchase.Customer Review: Excellent Source of Walking in Place
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Perfect for what it is
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have always been used to being able to move around a lot. Sitting in an office chair for hours upon end is like a small, personal hell with the knee problems I have. I got this to supplement my workouts, break up the monotony, get the blood moving and keep my knees limber. Under my desk does not really work, my knees hit the top, but I put it off to the side, grab some reports and go. This is not going to get you in shape at all but it will help with general maintenance and if you have pain, mobility problems this gentle, easy bike is perfect.
