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 cycle from Stamina Products. Unlike most exercise bikes, the InStride 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 workout intensity. As an alternative, you can even rest the InStride 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 cycle, which boasts a sturdy 1-inch tubular steel frame, measures 20.75 by 12.5 by 15.75 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.2 pounds.

 Mostly HappyMar 26, 2008
I use this everyday for about 45 minutes. I feel better and have more energy, so it must be doing something right. After use it is hot to touch the metal so make sure little fingers don't try to touch it. Also it is light weight so you may need extra weights put on the base to keep it level.

 Don't waste your moneyMar 22, 2008
Don't waste your money, this piece of garbage is not worth two cents. I got put it together and put my foot on it and it broke. it was a waste of my time and money. I suggest you spend a lot more money and get one that is pre assembled and of a quality brand name.

Do not buy!Mar 08, 2008
I thought it would be a good deal for the price, but one of the pedals fell off (doesn't go back on...) in less than two weeks, rendering the entire product useless. Another problem I noticed right away is that the metal frame was warped -- while that has nothing to do with the functionality of the product, I expected more. (Perhaps too much!)

 Very Pleased With ProductFeb 28, 2008
I ordered the InStride Stamina exerciser for my 80 year old father who is a diabetic and has back problems. He has really enjoyed using the product, and thinks it is an excellent way for him to get exercise without doing any harm to himself.

excellentJan 23, 2008
My mother and I both use this equipment and we love it. We have been stuck in the house due to weather and it helps to give us a bit of a workout. My mother had 2 knee replacements and it is excellent for that.
