TL;DR: Get your daily movement while you work with The FlexStride Pedal Exerciser, on sale for 40% off — just $179.99 — as of March 14.
When you have a job that requires you to sit (or stand) in one place for hours at a time, it can be hard to fit movement into your daily routine. And as we all know, movement is, quite literally, medicine. Our bodies crave it. That’s why this miniature elliptical machine that fits right under your desk is such a game-changer.
The FlexStride Pedal Exerciser is an Amazon favorite, with 4.7 out of 5 stars, and it’s easy to see why. With its compact design, it fits comfortably just about anywhere, so you can incorporate aerobic exercise at any time. Slip it under your desk during the workday, so you can burn some calories while you Zoom with your coworkers. Or set it up by the couch so that you can catch up on WandaVision, but still fit a workout in. With the built-in handle, you can easily carry it from room to room without issue. In other words, the world is now your gym.
There are eight built-in resistance levels, which are calibrated to suit your needs. And the pedals are wide, with non-slip surfaces, so you can comfortably work to improve your core strength, circulation, flexibility, and muscle tone from wherever you’re seated. Plus, by adding a bit of movement to your typically sedentary workday, you’ll burn more calories, boost your metabolism, and even decrease some of your daily stress. The LCD keeps track of your time, distance, and even cadence (revolutions per minute).
If you don’t have the money (or time) for a Peloton or the space for full-sized exercise equipment, this mini elliptical machine is a great way to amp up your fitness game at your convenience. Plus, it’s on sale for 40% off for a limited time. Usually $299, you can snag one for only $179.99.
