We at Stationary Bicycle like options. This Confidence 2 in 1 Elliptical Cross Trainer & Exercise Bike certainly gives that, and its smooth action seems to be a favorite among some of the reviewers (one included at the end of this review). At first glance, the unit resembles a standard elliptical trainer, with a pair of footpads that move in a natural elliptical motion, along with a set of arm poles that move in conjunction with your legs. The smooth, fluid movement will tone your arms, chest, back, hips, legs, and glutes while providing a low-impact workout that's five times as efficient as walking. The trainer's a step above most units, however, thanks to the addition of an adjustable seat, which adds more variety to your workouts. As a result, you can turn your trainer into an upright exercise bike and exercise while standing or sitting. The trainer also strides in both forward and reverse to add even more variety. The Confidence trainer includes an adjustable resistance dial, along with a four-function onboard computer that tracks your time, speed, distance, and calories. It measures 34" x 60" x 24" (W x H x D), and offers a maximum capacity of 250 pounds. It weighs 65 pounds itself. Customer comment: I just wanted to let [you] know that I love my elliptical bike. This particular bike is really a smooth ride and easy on the ankles, knees, hips and back. I've attached some before and after pictures so you can see what this machine did for me!!! A colleague of mine was so impressed at how fast i lost the weight he came over my house to see this machine that I'd been talking about, it took him all of 30 seconds of riding it before he asked me where he could purchase one!

We at Stationary Bicycle understand that trainers, as these bike holders are called, are usually noisy. The reviews we read about the CycleOps Mag Indoor Bicyle Trainer say this one is relatively quiet. They also give it a 4 or 5 star rating. It's solid built, folds up nearly flat when not in use, holds the bike wheel steady,easy to set up, comes with an informational DVD, and has five different resistance settings. You can vary your workout from warm-up to tough-terrain riding. As one reviewer said, "5 stars from me...I'm no novice I have years of biking under my belt, road and mountain. Get it!!" | |
