I live in up state Iowa, & am 67 years old. I suffered a severe head & spinal injury about 5 years ago & this wonderful piece of equipment has helped me to exercise my legs while still sitting! It helps my cardio as well, all I can say is thank you from an old retired Marine & I would definitely recommend this to someone who has trouble standing or walking because of an injury!
This Strider is worth every single penny, dime, nickel, quarter, dollar, etc that I paid for it. It has gotten me moving in a world where my desk job consumes my time. My kids even love it. With my daughter being a gymnast, she actually loves it to keep her moving on days she's not in training. My sons who are 6 and 4 years old love it as well. I can even get my husband on this thing once in awhile. It has not only enhanced my workout, but just seeing it provides the temptation to workout. It moves like a regular elliptical you see in a gym. I even use my dumbbells with it. I used it not only when sitting but standing as well. I have convinced so many other family members and friends to buy this. It's awesome.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great machine! Simple and fun to use. Great for standing or sitting, which is why I purchased it. A great value for the money as well. Well made and sturdy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this on a whim after debating for some time about whether we should get a treadmill. So glad we bought this over the treadmill - it's compact and doesn't require plugging in (runs on battery) and is much better exercise than walking. We love using this when we can't exercise outside (e.g. winter evenings) and it fits perfectly inside our small apartment. Highly recommend this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this little green machine. It was simple to put together, took about 10 minutes, tools included. I sit in a wooden dining room chair, and set the green machine at a comfortable distance away from chair, and go for 20-30 minutes. I get a good workout in my legs, and I feel great the next day. It is very easy on the joints, and operates quietly, and smoothly. Sometimes I use it more than once a day if I have time. I have hip pain and it brings relief, and I can feel my strength in my hip increasing. You cannot go wrong with this little green machine.
