Stamina In Stride XL Cycle - User's Opinion

Stamina Instride Cycle XL Review

Users of the Instride XL Cycle remark that this machine is easy to use. Simply strap your feet on the pedals and and cycle away sitting on any kind of chair. You can perform the exercise while watching your favorite TV program or reading.

For workout variety and to target different muscles, you can pedal the Stamina Instride Cycle in forward, as well as reverse motion.

Considering this equipment's relatively small size and lightweight frame, you may be concerned that it would lack stability, or would slide across the floor during use. Stamina addressed this potential issue by including non-slip rubber feet on the XL cycle.

For added stability, you can position it against a wall or a heavy object.

Want to make your workout more challenging, or easier? For increased or decreased resistance, simply adjust the tension knob.

Some users of this cycle have complained about squeaking noises while pedaling. You can prevent this by applying lubrication oil as needed to the joints and bolts.

Also, the battery-powered electronic monitor offers only limited information: it is basically a timer. But that is to be expected for a no-frills cardio machine such as this one.

Assembly is straightforward. Most people manage to put the cycle together within fifteen minutes.

Overall, the Stamina Instride Cycle XL is a good choice if you are seeking a budget-priced workout machine that provides a basic cardio workout. Recommended for seniors, users with restricted mobility, or limited space.
