Good Cycle, But Slightly Misleading Design April 8, 2008 8 out of 9 found this comment useful.
this is a good cycle, but the only thing i don't like about it is that the time counter attached to the bike cannot be reset. this design doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Had I known this, I would have opted for the less expensive version of the bike.
It is really a good quick exercise machine. April 8, 2008 14 out of 14 found this comment useful.
Low impact, but will make the burn if you work it. I use it during the summer time when I can't get outside due to the heat. You can sit on the edge of a bed or chair and peddle away in an air conditioned room. Doesn't take up a lot of room to use. It takes a moment to get use to the foot and peddle action, you are not pressing down like on a bike but forward. Great for elderly or someone who is just starting out their routines. You do not need to stand up to use the product. Therefore, not alot of pressure on your knees. Very sturdy, even if you are over 300 lbs, since you are not standing on the machine it will work for you. Can be used under a desk at work, make a little noise. Works on the legs and moves the blood, great for the numb butt. It does not take up much room for storage, about 2'x 2'space. Easy to put together. Not what I recommend for traveling, it is alittle heavy. But a wonderful work out machine to use while listening to your Ipod !!
Nice and Sturdy April 6, 2008 13 out of 13 found this comment useful.
The Stamina cycle XL arrived promptly and was easy to set up. I now enjoy cycling comfortably in an arm chair while watching TV. Family members admire the device's utility and appearance. The only drawback is the tendency to slip forward on my tile floor. I solved this by tying the Stamina XL to the legs of the chair. The Stamina Xl seems to substitute nicely for a much more expensive recumbent bike.

This product offers great versatility. Good cycle exercise for the legs and great workout for the arms. It doesn't take much space and is very sturdy.

I bought this product for my 90 yr old mom who enjoys walking, but often is unable to due to the weather or tiredness. Looking at the product online, I really was not expecting much - just a simple machine for my mom to use occasionally when she is watching TV or otherwise unable to walk. That is exactly what I got. Simple to assemble, simple to use. Anyone would really be hard-pressed to get fit and buff from this machine. Basically it just keeps my mom a little limber in arms and legs and occupy her interest for a few minutes each day. I can see a usefulness in the middle of an office day where you can keep one under your desk and do a modicum of leg exercises to mildly keep your legs toned. That's it. You don't get much and do not expect much. But for what it can do, it's not bad.
