Dick’s' fall sales have been heating up as the temperatures begin to drop, with some of the best deals on everything from walking shoes to down jackets and even popular fleece hoodies, but it's the discounts on fitness equipment that are among the most important. As the weather slowly turns frosty, indoor fitness gear will become more valuable, and one of the easiest ways to help you crush your fitness goals is by adding this under-desk elliptical that's over $100 off and easy to use to your workday.
Stamina InMotion’s Compact Strider is now on sale at Dick’s for only $139, an impressive 44% of its regular retail value of $250. This super-quiet piece of cardio equipment has an average rating of 4.6 stars after 61 votes, with shoppers noting that it’s “super quiet” and provides an “awesome workout." Logging steps at work has become very popular in recent years, but if you prefer the cycling motion to that of an elliptical, Stamina also makes an under-desk pedal machine that's now on sale for just $69.
With so many individuals being desk-bound for their jobs, a piece of workout equipment that’s compact, portable, yet effective offers a fast and easy solution to staying active, especially when it's cold outside. This compact strider provides all the health benefits of a full-sized elliptical you’ll find at your local gym, but it's designed to be used while working at a desk. It's made from commercial-grade steel, enabling you to use it sitting down or standing up. The natural movements help you burn calories while providing an excellent lower-body workout. At the same time, the non-slip pedals ensure a safe and stable ride, and you don’t have to worry about disturbing others, thanks to its smooth operation, which provides a quiet workout experience. It is only 24 pounds, so moving it around or from one room to the next is a breeze.
Shoppers cannot help but praise its performance. "Your legs will burn on this thing after a couple of minutes,” one shopper noted. “It's a great workout, and I'm in an upstairs apartment, and this is absolutely silent.” Another shopper agreed, saying, "Now I can't imagine being without it."
Other shoppers loved the convenience of the under-desk elliptical. "This gives you an opportunity to get a quick workout at any time,” a shopper said. But one of the best comments this little device received speaks to the reason anyone would want to work out in the first place: ”It’s so convenient and so fun.” When the workouts are enjoyable, the results tend to be better.
The InMotion Portable Elliptical is an excellent addition to anyone’s work-from-home or home gym set-up, whether you work remotely or not. If you want to burn calories while you burn Netflix series, this is the one sale you need to hop on before it’s gone.
