This compact under-desk elliptical lets you get fit while you sit — and it's $40 off
Wish you could keep your blood pumping while you’re busy doing paperwork? Struggling with achy joints that are making you lose your motivation to even get off the couch? Well, guess what? You can still get in shape! The Cubii JR1 Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machine is a genius little machine that lets you squeeze in a workout without even getting out of your seat — and right now, it's $40 off with a coupon. That's a lower price than you can get anywhere else!
Thanks to ultra-smooth and stable nonimpact gears, the machines are gentle on joints and perfect for anyone trying to ease back into an exercise routine or hoping to supplement gym workouts in their downtime.
"When I purchased this I thought it was a bit pricey but I needed something to keep me moving, being quite sedentary. I am thrilled, way beyond expectations! I have used it 2 to 4 hrs every day, sitting in a chair and watching TV. In a four-hour shift I have gone 14,000 strides and burned 400 calories," said one exerciser. "Mine is very, whisper quiet and smooth to run. Been using about 1 month. I also feel better and am more interested in other activities! In my opinion, this is an excellent product and just what I needed!"
Exercise smarter
The Cubii JR1 Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machine connects to your iPhone or Android phone, Fitbit smartwatch, or Apple Health Kit via Bluetooth to let you set goals and track your calories, strides, miles, minutes and RPM. It even has an easy-to-read LCD screen that lets you know you’re on track.
The smart device not only tracks your progress but acts as a virtual trainer, working to help you improve your posture and engage your core while you train. It has eight resistance levels, an ergonomic design, and it’s so quiet you won’t lose focus or risk distracting others in the room.
You can’t add more hours to the day, but you can maximize the ones you’ve got with a tiny, hands-free home gym. Pretty genius if you ask me — or any of the thousands of Amazon reviewers raving over the Cubii JR1 Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machine.
Easy weight loss
With over 12,000 five-star customer reviews, this Cubii JR1 is getting great mileage!
“I gained a lot of weight when I broke my foot and ankle. I use this machine every day when working, for a minimum of six hours. Today is the first day that I have said hello to the scale since I started using this machine, and to my surprise, I have lost six pounds,” wrote a fan. “I also notice that I have less plantar and Achilles stiffness which makes me very happy.”
“I am disabled veteran with spinal cord injury and torn meniscus. I also do online school,” said another five-star reviewer. “Had this for a week already. ... I have already dropped 4 pounds. This machine is great, it’s smooth on the joints, I love using it!! I use it for about four hours a day. I’m hooked. It’s very quiet, extremely easy to set up, it doesn’t take up a lot of space and it’s quality made. If I could give it 100 stars I would. Outstanding product worth the money!”
