desertcart.com Forget the gym. Now you can enjoy a full cardio workout in the comfort of your home or office with this compact elliptical trainer from Stamina Products.

Instead, the trainer is essentially foot pedals only, with a chassis that's small enough to store under a desk or in a closet. Despite the small size, the trainer still packs a workout wallop, letting you burn a similar number of calories as jogging but without the risk of injury to the back, knees, hips, or ankles. Just keep your feet moving on the pedals--which continually oscillate in a low-impact manner--and you're set. Other details include sturdy steel construction, non-slip pedals, and an electronic fitness monitor that tracks the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time, and calories burned.The Stamina InMotion Compact Elliptical Trainer is lightweight and portable so you can use it anywhere. Use it at home or take it to the office. Pedal while you work seated at your desk to burn calories and tone legs during your work day.

By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips. Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Product Description Sweat with Small ThingsSure you want be physically fit and healthy, but finding time for a thoroughly effective cardiovascular workout is just plain difficult with your schedule. Besides, you can always get back in shape once you have enough space for a full-size elliptical machine or treadmill. Sound familiar? It's time to leave excuses behind along with any oversized clothing those excuses have earned you. The Stamina InMotion E1000 Compact Strider eliminates any "reason" to procrastinate about the health of your body and mind. The incredibly compact, portable, and affordable elliptical lets you conveniently work up a healthy sweat nearly anywhere, anytime.Efficient Cardio ResultsEver wonder why elliptical machines are so often occupied at the gym? Elliptical trainer workouts are proven to burn a similar number of calories as jogging does, efficiently increasing stamina and energy while toning your hips, buttocks, thighs, and legs. Unlike jogging, however, ellipticals help you reach your fitness and weight loss goals through a low-impact routine that won't jar your back, knees, hips, or ankles. The Stamina InMotion E1000 Compact Strider offers the all results without the endless membership fees, crowds, and hassle of driving to the gym.Always-Available Cardio WorkoutThe Stamina InMotion E1000 Compact Strider is designed for easy portability and complete convenience. It's compact and lightweight enough to take anywhere, so you can fit your cardio workout into your daily schedule with no problem.

Review: This Elliptical is My New Favorite Thing Ever!! - WOW. Where to begin? First things first: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PRODUCT. You need to know, right up front, that I'm unapologetic in my enthusiasm for the Stamina InMotion E-1000 Elliptical. I know my review is also pretty long, but you have GOT to hear about this!! I stumbled upon this item after an ad for a similar product (the "cubii" brand under-desk elliptical) came across my Facebook feed. I work in an office environment. I am sitting in meetings and at my desk for around 40 hours a week at the office (and that's not even including the sitting I'm doing during after-work tv watching or computer time at home, commuting time in my car, etc.). About a year ago, I heard an NPR interview with Dr. James Levine, who has done extensive research on the negative effects of sustained sitting and lowered levels of physical movement; he has written books on the topic (also available on desertcart). I read one of his books and I started trying to get more of what he calls "NEAT" ("non-exercise activity thermogenesis" -- i.e., deliberately trying to burn more calories each day just by consciously & intentionally moving more, but not necessarily by adding in "vigorous exercise minutes") into my daily routine. I also investigated the possibility of getting a "standing desk," which my work, unfortunately, would not provide for me absent a "medical reason," but which they were happy to let me purchase on my own dime. I priced them and, as a government employee, standing desks (especially mechanical "fancy" ones) were too rich for my blood. When the ad for the "cubii" elliptical caught my attention, I thought that an under-the-desk, constantly accessible mechanism for easily adding movement into one's daily routine -- while multitasking! -- might be just the ticket to help me improve my health with Dr. Levine's "NEAT" formula. Unfortunately, with the cubii's $349 price tag (BEFORE shipping!), it just wasn't in my budget. I was frustrated at the cost, and thought there surely had to be some similar alternative out there? Well, one desertcart search and some consumer reviews later, the Stamina InMotion E1000 Elliptical seemed to be the machine that was destined for my needs. At an $80 price point (with desertcart prime free shipping!), I realized I could, theoretically, buy FOUR of Stamina's under-desk ellipticals and still not spend as much as the cubbi's asking price! (OK -- I get the appeal: cubii is the newest hottest thing -- they reviewed it on NPR, for heaven's sake! -- and it's pretty cool if you're a gadget/tech/gear head (which I'm not), and you want your elliptical to be able to talk to your fitbit and connect to apps on your phone which, for example, will sound an alarm when you haven't put in enough miles that day, etc. -- BUT: if all you want is a simple way to add movement and burn extra calories while you're sitting at your desk -- the sitting at which, by the way, is something you'd ALREADY BE DOING ANYWAY -- then "low-tech" (and low-cost, relatively speaking) is the very reasonable and affordable way to go, says I). I was very excited by the positive feedback from customers that the Stamina InMotion E-1000 had gotten, and the weight-loss stories I had read on the desertcart reviews by those who have used it were very inspiring -- so I couldn't wait to try it out. I had a hard time waiting even the two days I get with desertcart prime shipping! My Stamina In-Motion E1000 elliptical arrived two weeks ago today. Note: this product arrives in a box but is "un-assembled." Now, the kind folks at desertcart will -- for a fee of $189!! -- assemble it for you, if you wish. However, it's really basic assembly and even I could do it with no trouble. My advice: Don't spend your money on the assembly charge, unless you've got Oprah's money and you don't mind wasting it. Once the machine was assembled, it was a simple matter of skimming the instruction booklet (a quick read), setting the elliptical in front of my couch, and giving it a (literal!) whirl. It took me less than half an hour to get used to the motion such that it became second nature and didn't distract me while I tried to do other things that required more concentration than just sitting and watching t.v. does (e.g., it took a little bit of coordination, at first, to keep the Stamina InMotion elliptical "in motion" while I attempted to write, read, or play sudoku). Once I got used to the motion, though, it ceased to be a problem and I now can do it without thinking, while attending to any other tasks -- even at work. I read a review here on desertcart where the reviewer suggested aiming for 20-30 miles per day to help with calorie burn ("NEAT," if you will) over the course of an entire day. Although it sounded like a lot of miles to me at first, I found that this was a very easy goal to meet, and on my very first day, I was able to surpass it and go 50 total miles without really having to work too hard at it -- I did all of it while sitting on my couch in my living room, doing leisure activities, watching t.v., writing emails, reading, etc. I did break up the time into small 10-15 mile sessions, with some leg stretches in between sessions to keep from getting too tired or tight in my muscles, and to avoid any potential "overuse" issues. If you use this equipment and go at only a VERY VERY slow 5 mph, it will take you a great deal of time to get in 20-30 miles per day, but I believe the speed you personally will be able to maintain on the Stamina InMotion E1000 will very much depend on your own personal current fitness level and/or on whether you're recovering from an injury or from surgery, or if you have any other health issues like chronic joint pain, inflamation, arthritis, etc.-- even asthma might affect that and limit it -- and you probably ought to talk to a doctor or other health-care professional about it if you've got any misgivings or concerns about your fitness level or personal ability to use this machine. I don't know. Just be aware that your own personal number of total miles you're able to achieve daily will absolutely depend on your current personal situation. The really great thing about this type of machine, in my opinion, is that it is easily adaptable to all levels of fitness and physique types. Even if you're severely overweight and cannot walk around the block or make it up a flight of stairs without oxygen, this machine is so low-impact (and remember: you're sitting down while using it), I truly believe that if you're able to move your legs -- even in a limited range of motion -- you should be able to use this machine to some degree and receive some level of positive benefit from it. You can raise or lower the resistance level; you can prop up the front end of the machine to change the angle and work different muscles more intensely; you can add ankle weights; you can use just one leg (think of a spinning class where you're instructed at one point to use just one leg to do all the work and the other one is just kind of hanging there, as dead weight, and "going along for the ride" -- it's like that, only in this case you can take the non-working leg completely off the machine and work just one leg, then the other -- then go the reverse direction on one leg, then the other, turn up the resistance, etc.). The possibilities for "shaking up" your routine are probably only limited by your ingenuity and imagination (while taking safety into account, obviously!). Of course - you don't have to do anything fancy or unique, either -- you can just do plain old round-and-round motion the whole time -- and it just stands to reason that it will still benefit you just from getting some movement in, right? My point was -- you can be as boring or as unique as you want with this exercise equipment. It seems that flexible! I googled some youtube videos and saw reviews/tutorials of the Stamina InMotion E1000 that were done by a pair of physical therapists. They own several of these machines and use them daily for several hours in all their PT clinics. They enthusiastically recommend this product, as they attest that it wears well over the long-term, with little to no external noise and very little maintenance needed, for a long period of time (e.g., several years). Since I've had mine for only 2 weeks, I can't testify to its longevity, but I will accept their word that having several patients use it for several hours per day, it still required very little maintenance and was very durable over a period of years. They also point out that it can be adapted (they show some modifications) to different fitness levels, but they also discuss how this is a perfect product for those recovering from surgery or injury, or -- for example -- ALSO ideal for elderly people who may be home-bound and not able to get much other exercise due to balance issues, recovering from illness or injury or the like -- but who are still capable of sitting on a chair or couch and pedalling the Stamina InMotion elliptical while watching t.v., or doing other light (seated) activity. *OK, people -- *DISCLAIMER:* I am not, nor do I claim to be, a physician or a physical therapist or any other "health professional," so my suggestions/observations/opinions, such as they are, are only that -- just suggestions/observations/opinions. I'm not personally "recommending" you use this product, nor am I making any sort of promise, express or implied, or any claim that to do so would treat any disease, condition, injury, or illness you (or your child/parent/spouse/hamster) might happen to have. You use the product at your own risk, no warranties. (Ridiculous that I should need to say this AT ALL -- these seem like "common sense" things to me, but the lawyer in me thinks I probably better write the disclaimer language here, just to be safe. . . . so -- now that we've gotten that out of the way. . . let's keep going). In short, the Stamina InMotion E-1000 elliptical is amazing. It is easy to use, easy to set up, easy to clean and maintain, and it slides under a desk or table to stay out of the way (Obviously, use your best judgment when using it around or leaving it accessible to young (crawling) infants or young/small animals that might get injured from the moving parts). It is quiet/low-noise -- I can talk on the phone while using it and nobody has once asked, "What's that sound?" It doesn't require me to turn up the volume on the radio in my office or my tv at home while using it. It does not bother people out in the hallway if passing my office, nor has it affected/bothered anyone in the offices next to mine -- they are not even aware that I'm using it while I'm working, unless they walk in to my office and physically observe me doing so. In that sense, the Stamina InMotion E1000 is perfect for use in an office environment where noise might be an issue and sensitivity to potential sensory impact on others around you is of concern. In using this product, with a personal goal of pedaling about 50 miles each day (some days more, some days less), I was able to put 330 miles in during the first week alone! This was easily done each day within about 3 to 4 hours max (I'm not going breakneck speed, either -- but have figured out that I average between 15 and 18 MPH -- on about a medium resistance level). I don't know how many calories I'm burning (I don't think the counter is very accurate in that regard on ANY "health equipment," so I just ignore that). HOWEVER -- if I am constantly moving my lower body for several hours, and I'm getting in 3 to 4 hours per day of additional NEAT movement (i.e., this is not "high-impact" or highly aerobic activity -- I notice that I usually break a very light sweat after about 20 minutes at the 15-18 MPH rate, and I am able to do all my 50 miles per day in my regular office/professional attire, without feeling like I'm going home drenched in sweat or looking like I just took a steam bath), then I figure I MUST be burning some decent calories over the course of each day. I'd love to know exactly how many, but I just don't. Sorry. Before my Stamina InMotion elliptical arrived, I took my hip and waist measurements, and weighed myself. In less than two weeks -- having used the machine every day now for 13 days, at an average of roughly 45 miles per day over that time, I have already lost TWO INCHES off my waist and ONE INCH off my hips, and have dropped two lbs! My clothes (especially my pants/skirts) are fitting better already, and I notice I have more stamina in general and am not exhausted at the end of the day like I used to be when finished with work and sitting at a desk for 8-10 hours a day! I am also requiring less sleep overall -- waking up earlier and not nearly as tired as I was before I started using the product. I was so pleased with this little beauty, in fact, that I ordered another one as a gift for my 24-year-old daughter, who also works a desk job -- and she is thrilled. She will text me at the end of the day with an excited "53 miles today, mom! Woo-hoo!" or the like. She loves to play video games in her "down time," and she says she can get in her 50 miles/day in the evening in front of the tv, and hasn't even bothered to take hers to work yet, since she's easily doing several hours each evening while doing something she already does anyway. . . man, multitasking is awesome! I was getting so addicted to using this machine for several hours a day that I seriously started to worry I would go through withdrawals and get cranky over a weekend if I didn't have it to "work out my frustrations" and get a few hours of movement in. Although the Stamina InMotion E1000 IS portable, it is nevertheless about 30 pounds and it doesn't "fold down" or become more compact, so it is a bit bulky and -- though I'm no shrinking violet and have plenty of upper body strength, this still would not be something I could easily move back and forth from my car to my 8th floor office (although I would do that if it were my only option). (NOTE: This issue -- size/weight/portability -- is also something users should be aware of and take into account when thinking how easily an elderly person might be able to use the product or move it around their space, for example). Well -- my husband also works a desk job all day long, and works from his home office between 3 and 5 days a week. He needs more exercise, too - don't we all? -- so I then ordered ANOTHER Stamina InMotion E1000 for our home so no matter where I am and no matter what my day brings I can "get in my miles." In just 2 short weeks' time, this product has become such an integral part of my day that I can't imagine not using it every single day I'm able! I'm very excited to see what the future brings in terms of my physical health -- it has already started improving my muscle tone and stamina, as well as my mood and mental health, so I can't help but think that's just going to improve as time goes on! One caveat: although the machine is meant to fit under a "typical" desk, I am 5'9" tall so I have had to modify my office set-up slightly to keep my knees from hitting the underside of my desk (I think the desk is low and my chair was fairly high, though). One of the modifications I've had to make was to move my wheeled desk chair away from my desk (because the moment I tried to use the elliptical while sitting in my regular desk chair, I "pushed" the pedals and my chair shot back away from the machine! Whoops!!). Now I just use a stationary high-backed chair, with a cushion propped behind my low back for support and comfort, set back slightly from the edge of the desk to keep my knees from hitting underneath it. I've relocated my mouse and my keyboard, and now I write on the desk surface to my right instead of in front of me, while I'm using the machine. Easy-peasy, and worth it (in my opinion) for the benefits. My husband, an engineer, has also suggested ways to raise my desk height up safely -- so I will be exploring some of those in the future, but for now, this setup works just fine and I'm able to type, read, write, etc., just fine while using the elliptical. I love this machine. I think you will, too! Let me know!! P.S. All opinions and assertions herein are my own and I have received no consideration, incentive, or compensation by Stamina InMotion or affiliated companies for writing this review.
Review: Highly Recommend! - I spent several hours reading all of the reviews and questions about this product before I decided to take the plunge and purchase one, and I must say, it has been money well spent so far. Assembly - as mentioned elsewhere, very easy to assemble. Takes about ten minutes, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. The only tricky aspect is that the body of the Elliptical is awkward to maneuver, but I managed fine by myself. My desk is 30" high, I'm 5'8 with long legs, and I have adequate clearance - no problems with knees knocking into the desk as others have mentioned, although I don't think you could go much shorter than a 30" high desk. The clearance is fine, but it's only a few inches of wiggle room. My desk top is also glass, so it's a very thin top, which helps to free up a little extra clearance room. Very little noise - there's a little sound of the wheels running over the base board, and a slight kind of "whirring" (not the best descriptor, but it's all I got at the moment) that sounds much like an exercise bike. I work from home, so I don't have to worry too much about the noise being a disturbance, but it's definitely minimal in any case, so would probably be fine for an office environment. Tension is easy to adjust, (one knob - up or down) although resistance isn't the most extreme. I'm a naturally fit person, so it's not as challenging as I would have ideally liked, but it's better than nothing. And if I dial it way way up, then I do start to feel some benefits. I'm a restless person, so it gives my legs something to do besides constantly crossing, uncrossing, shaking, jittering, etc. Like most exercise equipment, it's fairly substantial, even for being such a small thing, so take care when getting up from your chair not to trip over it. This little machine is quite sturdy and well made, much better quality than I was expecting for the price. I also have used it while standing with free weights, and I really enjoyed it. Tension's trickier to adjust while standing, obviously. I worked out next to my desk, so I could drag it out and back easily, and it gave me convenient place to set my small weights down if my arms needed a break. Broke a good sweat during my 25 minute session, and was able to keep watching Downton Abbey, since the noise is so minimal. Take with care getting on and off, as it can tip a little - remember the see-saw principles of the playground! Calorie counter is obviously inaccurate (aren't they all?) so take it with a grain of salt (or maybe pass on the salt, because you definitely haven't burned as many calories as it says you have). If you wear a Fitbit or other pedometer, it won't count the seated steps if you keep it on your wrist. To get around this problem, you can tie it with your shoes laces. So far, I've had none of the squeaking that some of the other reviews mentioned. Here's hoping it stays that way.... Warning: make sure you have a desk chair that has lockable castors or is stationary. Mine does not, and I have to work pretty hard not to go sliding all over the place. Probably going to have to invest in a new chair...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you use it sitting down**
A: I ONLY use it sitting down, as I bought it to use at my desk at work. I'm very short, so my knees don't bump my desk, but that's the only concern I can think of. Sitting down it's nice because you can experiment with what position you sit in and work out different muscle groups.

**Q: Is the mini-elipitcal quiet enough to use in an office environment?**
A: Yes, for sure. I've been using this daily for about 3 months. Sometimes it sounds a bit grindy, but it's usually that dirt got in the grooves where the wheels go back and forth. I wipe it clean and then it's quiet again. I use it standing most of the time, and people don't hear it. First of all, they glance in my office and think I'm dancing and do a double take, then they come look at what I'm doing because it's so quiet, they didn't know I was on a machine.

**Q: has anyone used this with a standing desk? How was it and did it feel stable?**
A: Yes!  I work as a receptionist in a medical facility and have a standing desk. I’m on and off this thing all day long and am averaging about 15,000 steps from using this machine alone. This is a huge benefit over sitting all day long. I’ve found that while it does take a few weeks to get used to, I can type, answer the phone, transfer calls, etc., all while using this elliptical. Fantastic elliptical.

**Q: I live alone...How hard is this to put together as I am not mechanically inclined and hate putting things together...**
A: Super easy. Mine came without assembly instructions and I still managed fine. The only thing that I was unsure of was where the black disc went. Watched a video to figure that out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Elliptical is My New Favorite Thing Ever!!
*by A***Q on February 4, 2016*

WOW. Where to begin? First things first: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PRODUCT. You need to know, right up front, that I'm unapologetic in my enthusiasm for the Stamina InMotion E-1000 Elliptical.

I also investigated the possibility of getting a "standing desk," which my work, unfortunately, would not provide for me absent a "medical reason," but which they were happy to let me purchase on my own dime. I priced them and, as a government employee, standing desks (especially mechanical "fancy" ones) were too rich for my blood. When the ad for the "cubii" elliptical caught my attention, I thought that an under-the-desk, constantly accessible mechanism for easily adding movement into one's daily routine -- while multitasking! -- might be just the ticket to help me improve my health with Dr. Levine's "NEAT" formula. Unfortunately, with the cubii's $349 price tag (BEFORE shipping!), it just wasn't in my budget. I was frustrated at the cost, and thought there surely had to be some similar alternative out there? Well, one Amazon search and some consumer reviews later, the Stamina InMotion E1000 Elliptical seemed to be the machine that was destined for my needs. At an $80 price point (with Amazon prime free shipping!), I realized I could, theoretically, buy FOUR of Stamina's under-desk ellipticals and still not spend as much as the cubbi's asking price! (OK -- I get the appeal: cubii is the newest hottest thing -- they reviewed it on NPR, for heaven's sake! -- and it's pretty cool if you're a gadget/tech/gear head (which I'm not), and you want your elliptical to be able to talk to your fitbit and connect to apps on your phone which, for example, will sound an alarm when you haven't put in enough miles that day, etc. -- BUT: if all you want is a simple way to add movement and burn extra calories while you're sitting at your desk -- the sitting at which, by the way, is something you'd ALREADY BE DOING ANYWAY -- then "low-tech" (and low-cost, relatively speaking) is the very reasonable and affordable way to go, says I). I was very excited by the positive feedback from customers that the Stamina InMotion E-1000 had gotten, and the weight-loss stories I had read on the Amazon reviews by those who have used it were very inspiring -- so I couldn't wait to try it out. I had a hard time waiting even the two days I get with Amazon prime shipping! My Stamina In-Motion E1000 elliptical arrived two weeks ago today. Note: this product arrives in a box but is "un-assembled." Now, the kind folks at Amazon will -- for a fee of $189!! -- assemble it for you, if you wish. However, it's really basic assembly and even I could do it with no trouble. My advice: Don't spend your money on the assembly charge, unless you've got Oprah's money and you don't mind wasting it. Once the machine was assembled, it was a simple matter of skimming the instruction booklet (a quick read), setting the elliptical in front of my couch, and giving it a (literal!) whirl. It took me less than half an hour to get used to the motion such that it became second nature and didn't distract me while I tried to do other things that required more concentration than just sitting and watching t.v. does (e.g., it took a little bit of coordination, at first, to keep the Stamina InMotion elliptical "in motion" while I attempted to write, read, or play sudoku). Once I got used to the motion, though, it ceased to be a problem and I now can do it without thinking, while attending to any other tasks -- even at work. I read a review here on Amazon where the reviewer suggested aiming for 20-30 miles per day to help with calorie burn ("NEAT," if you will) over the course of an entire day. Although it sounded like a lot of miles to me at first, I found that this was a very easy goal to meet, and on my very first day, I was able to surpass it and go 50 total miles without really having to work too hard at it -- I did all of it while sitting on my couch in my living room, doing leisure activities, watching t.v., writing emails, reading, etc. I did break up the time into small 10-15 mile sessions, with some leg stretches in between sessions to keep from getting too tired or tight in my muscles, and to avoid any potential "overuse" issues. If you use this equipment and go at only a VERY VERY slow 5 mph, it will take you a great deal of time to get in 20-30 miles per day, but I believe the speed you personally will be able to maintain on the Stamina InMotion E1000 will very much depend on your own personal current fitness level and/or on whether you're recovering from an injury or from surgery, or if you have any other health issues like chronic joint pain, inflamation, arthritis, etc.-- even asthma might affect that and limit it -- and you probably ought to talk to a doctor or other health-care professional about it if you've got any misgivings or concerns about your fitness level or personal ability to use this machine. I don't know. Just be aware that your own personal number of total miles you're able to achieve daily will absolutely depend on your current personal situation. The really great thing about this type of machine, in my opinion, is that it is easily adaptable to all levels of fitness and physique types. Even if you're severely overweight and cannot walk around the block or make it up a flight of stairs without oxygen, this machine is so low-impact (and remember: you're sitting down while using it), I truly believe that if you're able to move your legs -- even in a limited range of motion -- you should be able to use this machine to some degree and receive some level of positive benefit from it. You can raise or lower the resistance level; you can prop up the front end of the machine to change the angle and work different muscles more intensely; you can add ankle weights; you can use just one leg (think of a spinning class where you're instructed at one point to use just one leg to do all the work and the other one is just kind of hanging there, as dead weight, and "going along for the ride" -- it's like that, only in this case you can take the non-working leg completely off the machine and work just one leg, then the other -- then go the reverse direction on one leg, then the other, turn up the resistance, etc.). The possibilities for "shaking up" your routine are probably only limited by your ingenuity and imagination (while taking safety into account, obviously!). Of course - you don't have to do anything fancy or unique, either -- you can just do plain old round-and-round motion the whole time -- and it just stands to reason that it will still benefit you just from getting some movement in, right? My point was -- you can be as boring or as unique as you want with this exercise equipment. It seems that flexible! I googled some youtube videos and saw reviews/tutorials of the Stamina InMotion E1000 that were done by a pair of physical therapists. They own several of these machines and use them daily for several hours in all their PT clinics. They enthusiastically recommend this product, as they attest that it wears well over the long-term, with little to no external noise and very little maintenance needed, for a long period of time (e.g., several years). Since I've had mine for only 2 weeks, I can't testify to its longevity, but I will accept their word that having several patients use it for several hours per day, it still required very little maintenance and was very durable over a period of years. They also point out that it can be adapted (they show some modifications) to different fitness levels, but they also discuss how this is a perfect product for those recovering from surgery or injury, or -- for example -- ALSO ideal for elderly people who may be home-bound and not able to get much other exercise due to balance issues, recovering from illness or injury or the like -- but who are still capable of sitting on a chair or couch and pedalling the Stamina InMotion elliptical while watching t.v., or doing other light (seated) activity. *OK, people -- *DISCLAIMER:* I am not, nor do I claim to be, a physician or a physical therapist or any other "health professional," so my suggestions/observations/opinions, such as they are, are only that -- just suggestions/observations/opinions. I'm not personally "recommending" you use this product, nor am I making any sort of promise, express or implied, or any claim that to do so would treat any disease, condition, injury, or illness you (or your child/parent/spouse/hamster) might happen to have. You use the product at your own risk, no warranties. (Ridiculous that I should need to say this AT ALL -- these seem like "common sense" things to me, but the lawyer in me thinks I probably better write the disclaimer language here, just to be safe. . . . so -- now that we've gotten that out of the way. . . let's keep going). In short, the Stamina InMotion E-1000 elliptical is amazing. It is easy to use, easy to set up, easy to clean and maintain, and it slides under a desk or table to stay out of the way (Obviously, use your best judgment when using it around or leaving it accessible to young (crawling) infants or young/small animals that might get injured from the moving parts). It is quiet/low-noise -- I can talk on the phone while using it and nobody has once asked, "What's that sound?" It doesn't require me to turn up the volume on the radio in my office or my tv at home while using it. It does not bother people out in the hallway if passing my office, nor has it affected/bothered anyone in the offices next to mine -- they are not even aware that I'm using it while I'm working, unless they walk in to my office and physically observe me doing so. In that sense, the Stamina InMotion E1000 is perfect for use in an office environment where noise might be an issue and sensitivity to potential sensory impact on others around you is of concern. In using this product, with a personal goal of pedaling about 50 miles each day (some days more, some days less), I was able to put 330 miles in during the first week alone! This was easily done each day within about 3 to 4 hours max (I'm not going breakneck speed, either -- but have figured out that I average between 15 and 18 MPH -- on about a medium resistance level). I don't know how many calories I'm burning (I don't think the counter is very accurate in that regard on ANY "health equipment," so I just ignore that). HOWEVER -- if I am constantly moving my lower body for several hours, and I'm getting in 3 to 4 hours per day of additional NEAT movement (i.e., this is not "high-impact" or highly aerobic activity -- I notice that I usually break a very light sweat after about 20 minutes at the 15-18 MPH rate, and I am able to do all my 50 miles per day in my regular office/professional attire, without feeling like I'm going home drenched in sweat or looking like I just took a steam bath), then I figure I MUST be burning some decent calories over the course of each day. I'd love to know exactly how many, but I just don't. Sorry. Before my Stamina InMotion elliptical arrived, I took my hip and waist measurements, and weighed myself. In less than two weeks -- having used the machine every day now for 13 days, at an average of roughly 45 miles per day over that time, I have already lost TWO INCHES off my waist and ONE INCH off my hips, and have dropped two lbs! My clothes (especially my pants/skirts) are fitting better already, and I notice I have more stamina in general and am not exhausted at the end of the day like I used to be when finished with work and sitting at a desk for 8-10 hours a day! I am also requiring less sleep overall -- waking up earlier and not nearly as tired as I was before I started using the product. I was so pleased with this little beauty, in fact, that I ordered another one as a gift for my 24-year-old daughter, who also works a desk job -- and she is thrilled. She will text me at the end of the day with an excited "53 miles today, mom! Woo-hoo!" or the like. She loves to play video games in her "down time," and she says she can get in her 50 miles/day in the evening in front of the tv, and hasn't even bothered to take hers to work yet, since she's easily doing several hours each evening while doing something she already does anyway. . . man, multitasking is awesome! I was getting so addicted to using this machine for several hours a day that I seriously started to worry I would go through withdrawals and get cranky over a weekend if I didn't have it to "work out my frustrations" and get a few hours of movement in. Although the Stamina InMotion E1000 IS portable, it is nevertheless about 30 pounds and it doesn't "fold down" or become more compact, so it is a bit bulky and -- though I'm no shrinking violet and have plenty of upper body strength, this still would not be something I could easily move back and forth from my car to my 8th floor office (although I would do that if it were my only option). (NOTE: This issue -- size/weight/portability -- is also something users should be aware of and take into account when thinking how easily an elderly person might be able to use the product or move it around their space, for example). Well -- my husband also works a desk job all day long, and works from his home office between 3 and 5 days a week. He needs more exercise, too - don't we all? -- so I then ordered ANOTHER Stamina InMotion E1000 for our home so no matter where I am and no matter what my day brings I can "get in my miles." In just 2 short weeks' time, this product has become such an integral part of my day that I can't imagine not using it every single day I'm able! I'm very excited to see what the future brings in terms of my physical health -- it has already started improving my muscle tone and stamina, as well as my mood and mental health, so I can't help but think that's just going to improve as time goes on! One caveat: although the machine is meant to fit under a "typical" desk, I am 5'9" tall so I have had to modify my office set-up slightly to keep my knees from hitting the underside of my desk (I think the desk is low and my chair was fairly high, though). One of the modifications I've had to make was to move my wheeled desk chair away from my desk (because the moment I tried to use the elliptical while sitting in my regular desk chair, I "pushed" the pedals and my chair shot back away from the machine! Whoops!!). Now I just use a stationary high-backed chair, with a cushion propped behind my low back for support and comfort, set back slightly from the edge of the desk to keep my knees from hitting underneath it. I've relocated my mouse and my keyboard, and now I write on the desk surface to my right instead of in front of me, while I'm using the machine. Easy-peasy, and worth it (in my opinion) for the benefits. My husband, an engineer, has also suggested ways to raise my desk height up safely -- so I will be exploring some of those in the future, but for now, this setup works just fine and I'm able to type, read, write, etc., just fine while using the elliptical. I love this machine. I think you will, too! Let me know!! P.S. All opinions and assertions herein are my own and I have received no consideration, incentive, or compensation by Stamina InMotion or affiliated companies for writing this review.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend!
*by P***. on December 7, 2017*

I spent several hours reading all of the reviews and questions about this product before I decided to take the plunge and purchase one, and I must say, it has been money well spent so far. Assembly - as mentioned elsewhere, very easy to assemble. Takes about ten minutes, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. The only tricky aspect is that the body of the Elliptical is awkward to maneuver, but I managed fine by myself. My desk is 30" high, I'm 5'8 with long legs, and I have adequate clearance - no problems with knees knocking into the desk as others have mentioned, although I don't think you could go much shorter than a 30" high desk. The clearance is fine, but it's only a few inches of wiggle room. My desk top is also glass, so it's a very thin top, which helps to free up a little extra clearance room. Very little noise - there's a little sound of the wheels running over the base board, and a slight kind of "whirring" (not the best descriptor, but it's all I got at the moment) that sounds much like an exercise bike. I work from home, so I don't have to worry too much about the noise being a disturbance, but it's definitely minimal in any case, so would probably be fine for an office environment. Tension is easy to adjust, (one knob - up or down) although resistance isn't the most extreme. I'm a naturally fit person, so it's not as challenging as I would have ideally liked, but it's better than nothing. And if I dial it way way up, then I do start to feel some benefits. I'm a restless person, so it gives my legs something to do besides constantly crossing, uncrossing, shaking, jittering, etc. Like most exercise equipment, it's fairly substantial, even for being such a small thing, so take care when getting up from your chair not to trip over it. This little machine is quite sturdy and well made, much better quality than I was expecting for the price. I also have used it while standing with free weights, and I really enjoyed it. Tension's trickier to adjust while standing, obviously. I worked out next to my desk, so I could drag it out and back easily, and it gave me convenient place to set my small weights down if my arms needed a break. Broke a good sweat during my 25 minute session, and was able to keep watching Downton Abbey, since the noise is so minimal. Take with care getting on and off, as it can tip a little - remember the see-saw principles of the playground! Calorie counter is obviously inaccurate (aren't they all?) so take it with a grain of salt (or maybe pass on the salt, because you definitely haven't burned as many calories as it says you have). If you wear a Fitbit or other pedometer, it won't count the seated steps if you keep it on your wrist. To get around this problem, you can tie it with your shoes laces. So far, I've had none of the squeaking that some of the other reviews mentioned. Here's hoping it stays that way.... Warning: make sure you have a desk chair that has lockable castors or is stationary. Mine does not, and I have to work pretty hard not to go sliding all over the place. Probably going to have to invest in a new chair...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basically satisfied.
*by B***E on February 13, 2018*

I am writing this review after about a month of use. I am basically satisfied. I wouldn't say i have lost any weight from using this (at least not yet) but i'll be happy if it simply keeps me from developing blood clots from sitting watching too much tv. So far i only use the device while seated. I am a big man and fully clothed i would be approaching the weight limit (250 lb). Given what other reviews have said about the device becoming noisy or the wheels not tracking where they are supposed to, i suspected it may get damaged or go out of alignment easily and i don't want to push it to the limit by standing on it with my full weight. If i ever lose 30 pounds, then i might start using it standing. I have had a problem with squeaking which comes and goes. Even though so far mine is fairly quiet MOST of the time, i still would not suggest trying to use it in a quiet office environment as some questioners have asked about, since the squeak comes on suddenly for no obvious reason and it could be annoying or disturbing. In my case, the squeak arises from the wheels and not from the crank mechanism. Perhaps all it needs is some WD-40 on the wheels. I have found that the two rubber or plastic caps on the ends of the bar that forms one end of the base are not enough to keep it from slipping on a smooth hard floor. With the tension knob adjusted to give a reasonable resistance, i find that the device gradually slips further and further away from me until i have to stop and grab it and pull it back to me. I think the plate on which the wheels ride might benefit from having a rubber pad backing on the underside to create additional friction and help with this problem. A handy person might just improvise and apply something themselves for this purpose if it's a problem. On a carpet it's probably not as much of an issue. I am also somewhat worried about this same metal plate scratching my floor as the device repeatedly slips away from me while in use and has to be scooted back several times over the course of a one-hour workout. I was not too pleased by the range of motion that is induced in one's legs by using this in the seated position. In the seated position, your heels are right over the wheels while your toes are over the pedals. The wheels, and thus your heels, ride straight back and forth, they do not go up or down. So your knees hardly rise and fall either. The whole up and down motion is in the front of your foot, basically as if you rested your heel on the floor and lifted your toes up in the air and down. Your knees don't move. I have modified my use of it to actually dangle half my foot over the front edge of the foot platform so that my heels are closer to the cranks and i get more up and own action in my legs. This also means pulling the machine in a little closer to me, which in turn means that the force i exert is more downward rather than forward, and this helps reduce the tendency of the thing to slip gradually further away from me. Note that when used standing, you face the opposite way so that your heels are over the cranks and you do get the up and down motion then. It is not perfectly comfortable to dangle your toes like this because the edge of the foot platform has a raised ridge and the arch of your foot is resting on this ridge. However if you keep the pressure in the back of your foot then your arch just rests on this ridge without force so it's not too bothersome. As far as i have been able to tell, the tension adjuster does not convey any information to the monitor which supposedly tells you how many calories you burn, nor does it know whether you are using the machine sitting or standing. The number of calories that it shows seems high to me, using it while sitting. Used standing, the calories it shows may be more realistic, since you are presumably doing a lot more work, lifting your whole body weight. For use while seated, i just look at the elapsed time and estimate the calories to be about the same as if i were walking for that amount of time. I think the instructions should convey a sense of what assumptions the calorie count is based on so you can take into account how your use varies from the assumptions.
