How To Lose Weight Sitting Down? Under Desk Bike Elliptical Machines Have The Answer
Sitting for longer periods of time is found by studies to cause health issues and increase the risk of early death. The worst part? That is exactly what you are doing when at the office desk, working from home or even engaging in long gaming sessions.
Going to the gym before or after work/gaming may be a good idea, but there is another way for you to lose weight without having to stand up from time to time. That comes in the form of desk exercise equipment, either in bike or elliptical machine form. It can be placed underneath the desk to help you burn calories, improve heart function and tone your lower body while sitting for hours on end. This ensures that you do not have to worry about an increase in body weight which can trigger all sorts of health issues in the long term.
As a way of losing weight while sitting down, try any of the following under-desk bikes and elliptical machines listed below:
Stay fit while you sit every day with the Deskcycle. Offering eight different intensity levels to push your workout to the limit, it works for desks as low as 27 inches and utilizes a patented magnetic resistance mechanism for quiet, smooth and healthy pedal motion that is great for your joints while letting you focus on your work.
The Deskcycle 2 has the same functions as the original DeskCycle, with the difference being that it now has an adjustable leg that lets you change the maximum pedal height to 10 inches or drop it down to nine for more desk clearance. A large LCD screen, which is featured in the original, shows metrics for speed, time, distance and calories burned during use.
Promote an active lifestyle for both you and your family with the Deskcycle Ellipse. Featuring an LCD display and extra-long and wide pedals, it has smooth and quiet magnetic resistance that allows you to exercise quietly without disturbing coworkers or family members, and lets you pedal forwards or backward. It also comes with online logging software that allows you to view daily, weekly or monthly activity and share your footsteps to FitBit.
The Stamina InMotion E1000 Compact Strider can be used while sitting, stand or by pedaling in reverse for an easy, convenient and versatile workout. This portable, lightweight and quiet mini strider is a great exercise machine if you are an avid gamer as it promotes leg movement and improved circulation without causing unwanted disturbances while playing your favorite games.
The Vaunn Medical Folding Pedal Exerciser is great for those seeking a gentle low-impact exercise during physiotherapy as it is effective for strengthening the arms and legs to improve blood circulation and muscle toning. Its quick-release folding mechanism allows this compact and lightweight exercise machine to be easily stored or brought on the go, while the multi-functional LCD monitor lets you see exercise time, revolution count, revolution per minute and calories burned.
With the Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Mini Exercise Bike, you can make room for physical activities without the need to stand up. Its pedals have a peak height of 10 inches and a bottom height of 3 inches when on the ground, and can double as hand grips, allowing you to use the machine on a desk-level surface to pedal your arms to promote upper-body activity.
Keep yourself fit without having to stand with the Cubii Jr. Recommended by organizations and publications such as the AARP, Mayo Clinic, InStyle and Time, it features a built-in display monitor that tracks steps taken, distance traveled and calories burned, and has 8 joint-friendly resistance levels to increase your activity over time. The smooth gliding motion mechanism delivers whisper-quiet performance without disturbing others around you.
