Stamina Folding Upper & Lower Body Cycle with Monitor- Boost Mobility - Strengthen Muscle - Improve Cardiovascular Health

I recently purchased this for my mother who has bad knees due to arthritis. She was experiencing pain and stiffness and could not walk long periods of time without her cane or walker. Her Dr recommended her to try bicycling to help ease some of the stiffness. Her balance is not the best so I wanted to find her something safe and just as effective. Searching online I found this on the Walmart.com site for $20. I used the store to site option to my nearest location for faster delivery and no shipping cost. It's been a few weeks now and she has been using the floor body cycle everyday for 20 minutes. My mother's knees have improved greatly. She has less pain and stiffness and is now able to walk longer without the use of her cane or walker. She is happy so I am happy. And we both couldn't be happier with the purchase of this product!!

I use this at work under my desk. It works great and I love that I can get a workout/burn calories while I am sitting all day at work. It folds up and is easy to store. I highly recommend it. Even my coworkers who laughed at me at first tried it and now want to get one too!

I am a Physical Therapist Assistant who works in Home Health. I've seen a gradual increase over the years in the percentage of patients being treated for pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases and I purchased this little device to use in my treatments for slowly increasing their aerobic activity tolerance. My patients have seen such excellent results using this little bike under my instruction that many have decided to purchase one for continued personal home use after discharge. It is more stable during use than other similar bikes I've used and unlike the other ones it can even be folded for ease of storage. (This type of exercise may not be appropriate or safe for all people and anyone considering beginning an exercise program should first seek approval and instructions from their doctor.)

Our Grant-Aunt had fallen and was hospitalized. Upon returning home after a month of hospitalization and rehab stay, her at home nurse recommended that we get a portable body cycle to help her regain her strength in her lower and upper extremities. I looked at multiple stores and at multiple different items (prices ranged from $50 to well over $100). I found this one on Walmart.com and just had to order it. Upon receiving it, my husband put it together in less than 5 minutes and it was ready for her to use. When her physical therapist come the following Monday, she said that it was great for her to use. She had her start pedaling telling her to workout for 5 minutes and since our aunt did that with no problem, she had her do another 5 minutes for a total of 10 minutes. She said that this was one of the best and reasonably priced upper and lower body cycles that she had seen.

This cycle is actually extremely useful, and I am very pleased with it. It is built to take abuse, and with the tension lock, it make it very capable for a full body work out. Additionally, it's small compact design and easy usability grants the user the ability to multitask, everything from reading a book to surfing the net. While by no means is it incredibly fancy, if you are looking for a product that is cheap but brings the quality, this would be the one. The only thing I dislike about this cycle is that it has a tendency to shift if you apply too much force as well as it can be a bit noisy, but aside from those disqualifications, I recommend this cycle if you wish to consolidate space, keep workouts simple, and save time.

Got this last week and there really isn't much you have to do to put it together. Just clip on the meter and screw in the tension handle. I tried it out right away and found when going slow there was a jerk or a catch. When going faster the jerk seemed to disappear. The problem I had was I should have taken it slower because since using both my knees (which are arthritic) really hurt and they haven't gotten better. Maybe I will go back and try it slower. Today I visited my friend in a rehab facility and went with her to her therapy session. There was a woman there using a cycle with her arms that looked just like this. Only difference seemed to be the meter was larger. We later went to another therapy room and a lady was using the exact same thing for her legs. The cycler was sitting on a hardwood floor and there must have been a problem with it slipping because someone had placed a 10# weight on the front bar. The lady did not seem to have a problem with it slipping on the floor but she did use this slowly and I could see the jerk. It seems to me this must be a very good cycler since this model is being used in a physical therapy facility. I intend to start using it again but at a slower pace until I can build up my legs. I recommend this but use with caution.

I bought this product because I tend to retain water and my feet swell when I sit for long periods of time watching TV or on my laptop. So I cycle to prevent this from happening and it really works! I cant use Stationary Bikes because of their seats, I hurt my coxis a few years ago and they are really painful to sit on. But in this little cycle I sit in the confort of my couch and petal away! I didn't give it 5 stars because it tends to slowly slip away from me as I petal because it's light weight, I have to keep pulling toward me but it has helped my legs/feet tremendously!

This is a sturdy, compact piece of exercise equipment. It is very reasonably priced. My criticisms are that the straps for your feet are too small if wearing tennis shoes so we had to just cut them off and the unit sits low so my heels hit the ground and I have to place my feet higher on the pedals than ideal. Im still happy with the purchase considering the price. It arrived quickly and has a basic timer which is nice to have.

It's not some wonderful exercise bike. It's just a little thing that sits on the floor, and you pedal. The resistance is non-existent, but you're paying relatively nothing. those that say it gives them a cardio workout, I'm a little worried about. I kind of forgot I was even doing it, so, no cardio what-so-ever!! Bottom line is, it does what I need it to do, and that's work my knee. I paid $24.99, I didn't really expect much.

This is a nice piece of equipment. You can use it anytime while sitting to work lower body. On a table you can also use it to work your upper body. I wish it had suction on the bottom. Its slides on the floor. I have to put it up against a wall to stabilize it.
