Stamina InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer, Model 55-1610

List Price: $200.00
Sale Price: $88.00

It always amazes us at Stationary Bicycle what gets the reviews on exercise equipment. This little hummer pulled in the reviews! Nearly 150 when others wouldn't even get 25. And pulling off a 4 star rating (out of 5) tells a lot!. What is it that makes this machine a favorite? It's not just the low price.It is compact and lightweight, so it fits easily under a desk or in a closet. An electronic fitness monitor tracks number of strides per minute, total number of strides, workout time and calories burned to keep you motivated and moving toward your fitness goals. There's even a scan function that lets you monitor all your stats. Here's what one customer says about the Stamina 55 InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer: "I had mixed feelings about purchasing this because of its size and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get a good cardio on it. Boy was I wrong. When I workout on this my heart rate ranges from 145-160 which is exactly where I want it to be. It's very sturdy but does take a little getting used to as far as balancing on it but you can get a great workout from it. The strides are much smaller than what you find in a gym but that's expected. I think it's a very effective piece of equipment for the price." She gave it 5 stars.

Stamina InStride Cycle XL, Model 15-0120

List Price: $60.00
Sale Price: $39.98

We at Stationary Bicycle often look for how many customer reviews a product gets, and how high they score. Manufacturers might say whatever they want about how great their product is, but what the customers say is what really counts. We almost overlooked this little exercise "bike" from Stamina. When other exercise machines may have 2 or 8 or even 13 reviews this little machine had 144! And a very high rating at that (4.0 out of 5). Why? Probably because of the high quality, effectiveness, and low cost. Here's what the Stamina InStride Cycle XL is all about: 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. 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. An electronic monitor times your workout.

Fisher-Price Smart Cycle for Kids

List Price: $109.99
Sale Price: $79.19

We at Stationary Bicycle believe children should enjoy exercising. Just because it's raining, snowing or otherwise blustery outside, doesn't mean that your child can't get the exercise s/he needs. The Fisher Price Smart Cycle combines the fun indoor activity of video game playing with the physical activity the great outdoors will give you. Designed for kids ages three to six, the Smart Cycle "physical learning arcade system" is an all-in-one stationary bike, video game console, and educational tool. Your little one will exercise her brain and her body -- and have loads of fun in the process. Your child pedals the bike to keep the game going and "steers" with the movable handlebars.They pedal and steer their way through different environments. The Smart Cycle plugs directly into your VCR or TV and requires no need for a separate game system. A large, easy-to-use and conveniently placed joy stick and bright buttons control the games and educational tools.

The Smart Cycle comes with a "learning adventure," in which your child drives a car by pedaling the bike and turning the handlebars. She can splash through mud puddles and take treacherous corners as she tries to catch letters of the alphabet along the road. She'll learn to keep pedaling to keep moving, while at the same time learning her alphabet!

The fun doesn't have to stop when your child gets her fill of exercise: she can stop and rest, and continue the fun and learning by using the bike's joy stick and buttons to navigate through many other games and adventures. And best of all, several optional game cartridges that can be used with the Smart Cycle (sold separately) will keep your child continually entertained, including games that feature favorite characters such as Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants, Barbie, and Hot Wheels cars.

With its wide array of games and height-adjustable seat, the Smart Cycle is designed to grow with your child. So as your child grows both physically and intellectually, the Smart Cycle will grow with her.

* Provides a source of indoor exercise for young children
