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 hundreds of Amazon reviewers raving over the Cubii Pro Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machine.
“I am rated 100% Disabled due to Permanent Progressive Multiple Sclerosis meaning my life had suddenly become largely sedentary and my ‘go to’ mobility device is a Scooter,” wrote one fan. “I can move my scooter along side the Cubii, turn the seat to 90 degrees and get exercise daily. I am delighted with the fact it is Bluetoothed to my phone which tallies my strides, minutes and calories and allows me to keep track of it daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.”
“I am a pretty active guy who happens to work a sedentary job as an accountant. Cubii helps to keep me a bit more active while in the office, and to reach my over all body fat reduction/strength training goals. I've lost a pound over the past week, without weight loss even being my goal,” wrote another happy shopper. “There was a bit of an adjustment period for me getting used to peddling on the Cubii while performing my work tasks, but I found that after this brief period of adjustment I was well on my way to more active sitting (lol).”
“It was easy to assemble, easy to connect to Bluetooth and really fun seeing my stats at the end of the day - especially realizing I pedaled six miles mindlessly!,” wrote a fit customer.
Today only, Amazon is selling Cubii Pro Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machines at a steep discount—save $100 and rescue your health, too.
