Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Poor resistance technology, more like a joke on the buyer, absolute no resistance, swinging your legs in a cyclic motion just by themselves is more effective than this item. The resistance it offers is just laughable and nothing else; it is a joke period. A better resistance technology and more weight to hold it down while in use will make it a better tool.
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
The compact size of the Instride makes it easy to use anywhere in my home and it's very quiet too.

THIS PRODUCT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT MOVED AWAY FROM ME AS I WAS TRYING TO USE IT. I SPENT MORE TIME RETRIEVING IT THAN ACTUALLY USING IT. I FELT NOTHING.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Want to get into better shape for my daughter's wedding 2010. Been walking the treadmill and eating better. BUT sitting in front of the TV just seemed to be a waste of time without something else to do. Then I saw the InStride XL, read the reviews and thought I'd try it. While it's not an intense workout, I'm moving and can feel the difference. I don't have the skidding problem others referred to. I don't use the foot straps. Just put my feet up and peddle. So far I have no negative comments to make.
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Exactly what my PT suggested my getting and is working great. Use it every day and just love it cause I cannot use a standard bike etc. It is doing exactly what Dr ordered.
Told someone and they ordered it for their mother. (just saw that spot below)

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I think it's well-made for the excellent low cost. I have seen other, comparable items which cost a good deal more. Not owning an exercise bike, it is the perfect fit for rehabbing a surgically repaired knee, as I won't be left with a large piece of equipment, after it's served it's temporary purpose. It gets points for ease-of-use, as you really can use it while watching TV. The only downside is the annoying way it does slide out of position. I'm not sure if it would do the same thing on a carpeted floor, the way it slides on my non-carpeted floors. I solved this problem by placing a small, rubber doormat underneath. All things considered, I am glad I purchased the InStride Cycle XL.

I have MS and am in a wheelchair. I have swelling in my feet, too. I use this bike everyday. I feel that it is strengthing my legs and getting the swelling down! This is the best thing and so affordable. Thank you Walgreens!

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I purchased this for my 87 Mum who had a terrible break in her leg 5 years ago. She loves it! She also suffers from circulation issues and after just a minute or two on the cycle, she is warmed up and feeling better. Because she can pedal it without putting her weight on it, it is her favorite. She recently pedaled for 10 minutes which is just wonderful!

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Purchased for my mom following her stroke. She loves to watch television while using it and isn't bothered by noise because it is quiet. We don't worry about her getting on and off of a large exercise bike. Small and portable but heavy enough not to move around during use. Mom tucks it by her favorite chair and seeing it prompts her to use it more often. Great little exerciser!
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
This is great for the days that are too cold to go out for a walk. I have limited storage space and this fits in my space.
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I bought this originally for use at work. It's placed under my desk, and I pedal away during my lunch break. With my busy schedule, I'm able to combine a mini workout with my lunch period, or take occasional power breaks during the day. My physical therapist and orthopedic surgeon recommended cycling as a measure to rehab an injured knee and hip. This is excellent! I'm thinking about getting a second one for use at home while I watch television. Two of my co-workers have also purchased the same x-ercycle and they love it too.
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I purchased this item for my mother who has limited mobility. I was a little concerned that I would have difficulty assembling...piece of cake! Mom is enjoying her new toy and I am enjoying watching her use her legs and arms. My 19 and 7 year olds seem to enjoy it too. No doubt it won't sit idle very long!
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
My mother is 91 and uses it daily. It aids in her overall circulation and strength.
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
This product is a good warm up machine and something to use if weather is bad outside, or for just getting a light excerise around the house. Cannot use product with a lot of chairs. Found a kitchen stool with a back works the best. I am diabetic so it works well to get a light excercise to keep feet from swelling.
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
It is easy to use. It does slide on rugs so must be used on tile.
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I use it to work my arms. I haven't tried it as a leg exerciser since I have a stationary bicycle.
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
When I move the product on carpet the caps at the end on the bars move and I have to straighten out to have flat on floor. Also, when putting my foot into the pedals. The pedals are upside down and moves to much that it's not simple to put my foot in. Make pedals not to move. So, it would be easier to put my foot in the pedals and super glue caps on bar so caps won't move when sliding on floor. Thank YOU!
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
My mother (85 years old) and I both have bad knees and this machine has helped to strenghten the upper thighs and improves circulation. We share the one machine, but I may purchase a 2nd so that we can "workout" together.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I bought this product for my father, he is 74 years old and has diabetes. He has a terrible time with his legs because of circulation. We had a scare about a month ago. The doctor told us that he may have to take dad's foot on the right and up to the knee on the left. He put off the decision for a little while. I decided that we would try the exercise machine to see if it would help with circulation. Guess what? It did they aren't even considering taking his foot or leg for now. Thank you for offering this product.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Since having weight loss surgery 2 months ago I needed something that was easy as I was TOTALLY out of shape. I weigh over 300 pounds so walking is hard due to impact on my knees. I use my machine every day now and it is the easiest workout I have ever done; all while sitting on my tush! I just watch my favorite tv show and peddle away. Believe me you'll be doing this for an hour during your tv time and think nothing of it. Best exercise equipment purchase I have ever made! One Note - If you don't have this on carpeting it will slip around on you.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I bought this to help get some movement back in my legs. I have severe arthritis, now in both hips, and I have not been moving enough to keep muscle tone. This type of item was suggested to me by my physical therapist. I chose this particular exerciser because it has a resistance adjuster, to make it easier or harder depending on how I feel the day I am using it. I like that I can also use it on the table top to exercise my arms. I had tried sitting on a regular stationary bicycle, but because of the pressure on my arthritic hips, it was very painful. The plus with this type of cycle is that I can sit comfortably in a chair and use it. No more excuses!

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Purchased this for my mother who had suffered a stroke. She lost the use of her right side. After many weeks of physical therapy, Medicare decided to discontinue it. She had started to get some movement out of her right leg. This cycle has helped continue strengthing that leg and she is now walking with the use of a semi walker. I would recommend this to anyone looking to gain some strength and movement in their legs or arms. Thank you Walgreens for handling such a terrific product.

I had been searching for this exact product at a reasonable price for some time. Your ad in a Sunday paper in Indianapolis was exactly what I wanted and I ordered it immediately. I am 80 years old and partially handcapped. [...] There were 27 parts that made it impractical for me to attempt.I originally wrote your company asking to return the product for that reason. Since that time I have found a shop that will assemble it for me for [$]and I have decided that will work as I do feel the use of the product will be that beneficial. I love Walgreens !

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
With kids in school, activities and working full time it's difficult to find time to exercise. My entire family from 6 - 50 years of age enjoys this. I use it while I watch TV, while I wait for food to cook, talking on the phone. Thinking about purchasing another to keep at work.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
You really can't get much resistance here so if you are looking for that, I'd go elsewhere. But for just an easy cardio workout indoors when you are watching TV or a movie, you can't beat it. Good price, too.
[4 of 4 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
This is not like a full exercise bike, but for the price, it's a good value. It would be better if it were a little heavier and not so prone to "walk" across the floor. We had to put a weight on the floor in front of it to keep it in place. The diameter of the circle the pedals make is small, but enough to give the knees a good workout and "lubricate" the knee joints.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I have read all of the comments this far on this product. They only confirm my initial thoughts when I saw this product advertised. It would become very unstable as the resistence was increased because of the unsecured legs. I would suggest anyone owning one to secure it by u-bolts or clamps to a permanent platform. The unit seems like a good idea but poor engineering.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I bought the Cycle for 3 reasons. 1. To begin an excercise program, after many years of being over weight & out of shape. 2. I needed something that could be used in a small area. 3. I needed something that would be low impact, but help to strenghten my legs, after being diagnosed with Arthritic knees. The only thing I found to be bothersome with the equipment was it wouldn't stay in one place during use. I have hardwood floors, so that was a problem! I tried it on low knap carpeting also, and it still slid around quite a bit. I still continue to use the Cycle, but wish I could make it a little more stable.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Product is all good except if using on a rug/carpet while sitting on your couch. The product base feet tend to twist/rotate and not be stable causing product to move forward. Other than that Product is great, does what it says it does and adjusting is as simple as twisting tension screw. Very nice about set up anywhere your can sit...watch TV...while eating dinner etc..[@]

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
In general, I think this is a good product. I use it for general fitness. I chose it because of its size. I am very space restricted in my current residance. To use it with your feet, it has to be on carpeting. It slides on a tile floor. When I use it on the table for my arms, it slides all over. Therefore, I put a towel under it, and it still moves around. Possibly the ends of the base could have something that would grip better. If the product was heavier to stabalize it more, then it would not be as easy to lift.

I purchased this product for a couple of reasons. 1-compact and portable. 2-simple and inexpensive. I have this unit under my desk at work. I pedal this most of the day while I work on my computer. I pedal at a constant speed all day, just to get my metobolism going. I know this will give me the metobolism boost I need, not to mention it will burn some extra calories throughout the day. Only wish the odometer would not just give me the amount of time of pedaling but possibly distance pedaled.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
After using the product for a couple of days, it now has an annoying squeaking/screechy sound with every cycle. I don't know if it wasn't lubricated properly or what, but I'm greatly disappointed with this purchase. It also smelled funny when it first came in, and it took almost two weeks for the smell to go away....and that was after wiping the product down with a damp rag, then disinfecting wipes.

It is absolutely silent and so much fun. I just used it in about 3 different chairs (for varying heights) for the last 1 and 1/2 hours. Perfect for using while just sitting watching tv or any other time when you wouldn't normally work out.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
It is a good quality product, however, it is difficult to use with my shoes on and as I am elderly and it is difficult to get them on and off this can be a hassle. It does not allow enough room for my shoe size, size 9.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
This goes under my desk and I can use it while I'm reading emails or watching TV. I have to back up to give my knees room though but it is some 'exercise' to help the circulation. You can also set it up on something to use it with your hands.

The InStride Cycle XL is so easy to use and quiet you can use it watching TV with the family. You can use it reading a book. It can be moved from place to place with ease. The entire family takes turns using it while watching TV. I catch my husband using it quite a bit.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Are you looking for something to help you build endurance with low to no impact on body joints? This is a good item to start getting into a routine of mild exercise. Notice your heart rate, breathing and posture. It's best to check with your doctor when starting any form of exercise routine.
The unstable base is overcome with weighty beanbags placed over the "legs". Use on a table with non-skid material for your arms and on a carpeted floor for your legs. When used with correct form, this is a handy device.

IF YOU HAVE A DIBILITATING CONDITION, THE INSTRIDE CYCLE IS A GREAT TOOL TO USE TO EXERCISE. I HAVE RA AND MAYBE MS, I USE THE CYCLE AT LEAST 30 MINUTES DAILY AND IT HAS MADE A NOTICIBLE DIFFERENCE IN MY MOBILITY.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
Great product cause you bike without leaving your apt but pedals get too hot, you can easily burn your hands if you are not carefull afterwards. Warning is not on the instructions.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
The idea is great but the metal parts attached to the pedals get very hot to the touch after only a few minutes of use, especially if the resistance is set at the highest level. I assume this is caused by friction in the bearrings. Also, there is not enough resistance for it to be very effective.

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
This pedaler is like a recumbent bike! I have a bike on a fluid trainer but it's in the basement. This was easy to put together and portable. It's lightweight too. I've tested it while watching TV, checking email, or sitting on the deck. Works great anywhere. I highly recommend!

Comments about Stamina Stamina InStride Cycle XL 1ea.:
I sit at a desk all day and don't have time to go to a gym. With this product I can get a light cardio workout while I work. The only drawback is that you cannot use this item under a standard height desk. However, I simply put the exerciser next to my desk and turn sideways and pedal while I operate the computer 1 handed.
