Stamina 55 1610 InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer
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. Unlike full-size ellipticals, this trainer doesn’t have arms or a front console. 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.
About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. 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. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won’t strain sensitive joints.
User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star the pedals come off after 3 months of use
The screws attaching the pedals to the cranks goes loose on both sides, and the pedals literally come off, rendering product unusable. Stay away.
5 Stars Great Product!
I love this product. I have cancer in my bones, so I could not use the treadmill anymore due the jarring on my knees! This gives me a great workout, and fits great in the living room, so that I can watch tv while working out!
5 Stars Perfect home workout
I like to run, walk and do yoga. Yoga I can do anywhere but running and walking can get a bit tough in the winter. With this elliptical trainer I can hop right on and talk to people on the phone, watch a movie, or even read. It keeps me warm to save on my heating bill, gets my blood pumping for mental motivation, and helps me to stay in shape. Plus it’s nice and tiny to hide in the corner. It makes a little noise, sure, but a lot less than most other indoor exercising machines I’ve seen. I love this machine! Glad I took a chance on it despite some of the negative reviews. If you take care of it and don’t try to act like it’s a speed training machine and you’ll do fine 
1 Star big hassle
When I was putting it together I found that there was a major defect in one of the bolts. Couldn’t have used it if I’d tried. Had to disacemble it and send it back.
5 Stars Great product!
This is perfect for shorter people who don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars or have their room taken up by an enormous apparatus. Easy to learn how to use. I highly recommend.
