After total knee replacement surgery, I was unable to peddle the recumbent bike. The physical therapist suggested I try the Stamina Folding Cycle for use at home to increase flexion. It has made a tremendous difference! The tension adjustment is ideal for me 2 months post surgery. Great bike, great price.
After visiting a senior nursing home's rehabilitation room and observing seniors using cycles, I decided to purchase one. The inStride Folding Cycle gave me a stable, thorough upper and lower body workout with minimal impact and stress. I would recommend it to others.
A day doesn't go by that I don't use my Stamina. I'm almost addicted to it. Very easy to use for both legs and upper body. A good way to exercise while watching TV.
My husband and I have tried to exercise, but busy lives just got in the way. So we thought we would try something that we could use during a time we were doing something else ~ ok, while we were watching TV! It has gotten us to do some form of exercise and that is what we were needing. Also, with our 'aches and pains' of getting older, it is super easy to set up and use. We trade off, and that is the only 'complaint' we have. I think we may have to get another one! It is perfect for those who have a hard time going to a gym, or finding a regular time slot to get out on the trail, or for anyone who has the pains of getting old but still needs to exercise. It is stable on the floor, does not move or jerk while pedaling, and is lightweight enough to lift for even the weakest of arm muscles. It is a good product.
