Product Information

Ideally, we would also recommend a distance of 58 cm between the underside of your desk and the floor. If using under a desk, we recommend a gap of at least 6cm between the underside of your desk and your knees. Ultimately I found a lower setting, somewhere in the three to four range, was more sustainable for an effective getting things done/working out combo. And its limited heart-rate raising effects mean that using Cubii as “cardio” won’t likely improve your aerobic stamina, either. Nevertheless, if the benefits of the Cubii are in line with your goals and you can afford to purchase the device, it’s worth giving the Cubii a try.

From our whisper-quiet performance to our thoughtfully designed ease of use, our careful attention to detail results in a smooth, enjoyable experience. Comfortable and easy to use: Just set it in front of you chair or sofa, set the resistance level you want and start pedalling. so it isn't something you can move around your house throughout the day, although the handle at the top does make it a lot easier.Compared with other mainstream forms of exercise like weight training, jogging, or interval training, this is less than half of what you would expect to burn doing any of the aforementioned activities ( 1). At 27 pounds, it's totally manageable to carry back and forth if you commute in a car, but if you're planning to carry it far (say, on a journey through the New York City subway system), you're going to get your workout in before you make it to the office. Get the best value for your money by exploring various offers for the Cubii Seated Elliptical Trainer and other related products. This motion doesn’t translate to any movement that we do in life, making it not the most ‘functional,’” she says. Still, maintaining that pace while working became a problem—I kept finding myself getting distracted and then several minutes later realizing I'd stopped pedaling.

Classes range in duration from 10 to 30 minutes, and class types include cardio, flexibility, strength, and mind-body workouts. ergonomic angles provide a smooth elliptical exercise that is low impact on your joints, while its compact design lets you easily slide Cubii under your desk without getting bumped knees. However, the attachable ChairLock included in the JR2 is a slight upgrade from the wheel stoppers provided with the JR1, making it even easier to stop your office chair from rolling. This lack of weight bearing means the Cubii falls short of providing many of the benefits associated with other forms of exercise. To provide an honest and firsthand review of the under-desk elliptical, Cubed Fitness agreed to send over a Cubii JR2 for me to try.which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 311908) for consumer credit and general insurance and a member of the Finance and Leasing Association. First, I just worked at my computer for 10 minutes, to determine my resting heart rate while doing usual tasks. It’s also the only Cubii model that includes adjustable foot straps, which significantly improve the experience of pedaling on the elliptical. My maximum heart rate while using the Cubii, which directly correlates to how much effort I was exerting, equaled my average heart rate while walking. Level eight was a struggle, but my partner who runs regularly and goes on long bike rides found that he enjoyed the higher levels.
