The Stamina In-Motion Elliptical Trainer At A Glance
The machine is a portable elliptical trainer and provides an affordable way to keep your fitness in check, whether at home or at work. For those of you who are not aware, an elliptical trainer is a low intensity work out machine,
which utilizes the same muscles used during jogging / running but without causing undue stress to the body joints such as the back, knees or hips.
The In-Motion is a well featured machine in contrast to other alternatives in the market. To make it an effective machine, the trainer comes with a customizable tension for controlling a variety of workout intensity and the foot pedals can be pushed in either direction (forward / backward), providing you with the ability to target various muscles.
Pros:
• The size of the trainer is very compact (24 x 17.5 in). It does not occupy a lot of space and can easily be kept under your working desk or in front of your couch.
• The trainer is light weighed (only 25 lbs.) and can easily be carried around. It is a great way to execute a workout while on the move.
• The body is made from high quality steel and is very robust. Moreover, the design itself is ergonomic and a low impact one, with non-slip and accommodating pedals.
• The trainer comes with an electronic display which monitors your exercise details including the duration of workout, the strides taken and the number of calories burned.
• The machine does not require much assembling out of the box.
• The trainer operates seamlessly, without producing any disturbing noise, which allows you to use it with other people around you.
Cons:
• The trainer is not suitable for the taller people (6 feet and above). The short stride means that the legs would not be able to stretch properly for these people. This is due to the compact design of the model.
• The pedals have been reported to wobble on occasions, however these cases have been remote and in general the body is very durable.

All in all, the Stamina In-Motion Elliptical Trainer has fared well among the users and seems like a good alternative to the external workout machines. For me, it is a great way to keep my body muscles in work despite being engrossed in a heavy load of desk work.
