Direct from manufacturer pricing means you save more. 1 year warranty from Isokinetics Inc. Now comes with Dycem anti-slip strips to place under the feet to help solve a common problem of slipping on smooth floors. Made of high quality 1" chrome-plated steel tubing, with 4 flat-bottom rubber feet to grip the floor, and adjustable pedal straps to keep your feet in place. Has solid construction, sturdy feet and an effective resistance range from light to noticeably stiff. Appropriate for elderly exercise as well as for a modest aerobic workout. Can be used for upper body exercises by placing it on a table and using your arms, or for lower body exercises placed on the floor and pedaled with your feet. At 5 pounds, it is easy to move around and store. Sit with legs at close to a 90 degree angle. Start your exercise program slowly and gradually work up to 20 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week. Please note that like all pedal exercisers of this design, the resistance knob housing can become hot after using vigorously, so take care when touching after heavy use. We found it does not heat up much when used at lower resistance levels. ALWAYS consult a physician before beginning this, or any other, exercise program. For more rigorous needs, consider our Deluxe or Magnetic models. | | | Features: | |

I lost 30 lbs!!Jul 29, 2010
I absolutely love this pedal exerciser! I got it in mid January and after a couple of weeks of using it under my desk at the office was pedaling all day during work. By the time I went home I was done and didn't have to drag myself to the gym. It's great to do my work and be completely focused on that instead of exercise. I lost 30 lbs in 4 months. It does squeak but I have been able to stop that by adjusting the tension. I have started a movement in my office and several of us are pedaling away through the work day. THANK YOU ISOKINETICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good if you work at home/sit a lotJul 13, 2010
I've recently purchased this equipment. I go to the gym or do light jogs two or three times a week. On other days, I work a lot at the computer in my home. Sometimes, I feel the need to move while working, and this comes in handy. It helps me to maintain discipline while working, without having to take a lot of breaks or do other types of exercise. It doesn't fit under my desk, but I am still able to read papers and look at the computer from a foot or two away.
 no resistanceJun 29, 2010
I got this for under my work desk and the thing has no resistnace. I turned the knob as far as I could and the resistance is nothing. I would not recommend

 So far, it matches what we paid for it.May 10, 2010
It only works well at almost zero resistance. Less than that and the pedals wobble. More resistance than that and its resistance is jerky. It does well in providing a zero resistance motion to keep joints flexible.

Good but not greatApr 28, 2010
I bought this with hopes to use it at work under my desk while working. The machine definitely fits under the desk and I was hopeful. Maybe it's because my legs are fat, but my knees hit the underside of my desk when making a full rotation on the machine. There needs to be a way to adjust the height of the machine - six inches lower and I'd be good.
Well made equipment - durable. It does not tighten tight enough to raise the tension enough for legs. For an arm workout it's good.
