Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Cycling 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.

Video review of the Instride exercycle.

I bought this thing because I wanted something easy to put together, cheap, and where I can use it while watching TV. This has been perfect for that! It's been 2 months, and I've had many days where I'll take this little thing out, turn on the TV, and just go. When I'm done 30 minutes later, I'll put it away in my closet easily. I've even added some 5 lbs. dumbbells for assistance.
I will totally acknowledge that...
...if you're looking for a vigorous workout, this won't do it.
...if you're looking for all-inclusive sports equipment, this isn't it.
...if you're looking for something that'll count your calories or time for you, this won't do it. (It comes with a timer, but it's nothing special.)
...if you're looking for something to replace your daily workout, this isn't it.
However, if you're looking for a cheap option that will complement your regular exercise routine while sitting, this is a great option.

You can use this thing for about 30 minutes before it gets too hot and starts to squeak horribly. You can tell it's from overheating because the pedal arms get too hot to touch! We have two of them bought from amazon and we took them apart to see if we could lubricate the mechanism (not easy to do) but with wd40 and lithium grease it still squeaks like you're strangling a goose. The manufacturer has a laughable return policy requiring original packaging, packing slips, paid shipping and mandatory insurance which makes it not worth it to try to return and therefore not worth buying if you are worried about the noise. OTHER than all that, it works fine.

Not quiet enough for office use.
This product is decent in theory, but not so good in practice, especially when it comes to office use. The product makes a squeaking noise during use. Read more

Item Itself is Sub-Par
First of all, the cycle is so light that you have to have it against the wall otherwise it will slide around. Read more

Hunk of junk
I actually hurt my achilles with this crap. Does not put together right, does not work right; a worthless piece of scrap metal.

Not bad at all

Little tough to pedal continuously
Bands to hold feet to pedals are small....won't accommodate having on athletic shoes. If shoes on, and bands not used to secure feet to pedals, it works ok except that unit "walks"... Read more
