The Benefits of Cycling
Cycling improves your cardiovascular health, boosts the functioning of the heart and blood vessels, and decreases your risk of heart disease. It also increases HDL (good cholesterol) and reduces the amount of triglycerides in the blood, helping lower blood pressure. Of course, aerobic conditioning is just the beginning, as the constant movements demanded by the InStride improve your muscle strength in the legs, arms, shoulders, and backs. And exercising your muscles helps prevent osteoporosis and the risk of broken bones. Finally, cycling helps you maintain flexibility without stressing the joints, and can reduce discomfort from arthritis or back pain. Other benefits include improved digestion, better lung function, and higher metabolism.

About Stamina

Over the years, Stamina has developed a broad distribution base, including mass merchants, sporting goods dealers, catalogs, Internet retailers, and TV shopping networks. In addition, Stamina's products are available all over the world through the company's extensive international placements.

In addition to the Stamina brand, the company sells its products under such brands as Body by Jake, Suzanne Somers, Tony Little, Cosmopolitan, Brenda DyGraf, Denise Austin, and BodyShaping. The Stamina InStride Folding Cycle is lightweight and portable so you can take it with you to use at the office, on vacation, or home to burn extra calories while performing your regular daily tasks. Pedal with your feet while seated for a lower body workout, or use it on a desk or tabletop and pedal with your hands for an upper body workout. It's exercise that fits effortlessly into your life. The battery-operated electronic monitor times your workout to keep you motivated. Sturdy rubber feet prevent the InStride Folding Cycle from slipping, and straps hold your feet firmly in place on the pedals. The InStride Folding Cycle has a convenient tension control that allows a broad range of pedal resistance to set the intensity of your workout. Compact and lightweight, just fold and take it with you to the office or easily store it away. The InStride Folding Cycle has a durable steel tubular frame for solid workouts for years to come. AEROBIC CONDITIONING AND HEART HEALTH: Cycling improves cardiovascular health, and improves the functioning of the heart and blood vessels while decreasing your risk of heart disease. It also increases HDL (good cholesterol) and reduces the amount of triglycerides in the blood, and helps lower blood pressure. Circulation is increased with the smooth bicycle motion. STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONES: Consistent exercise strengthens muscles at any age. Both upper and lower body InStride Folding Cycle movements are perfect for improving muscle strength in legs, arms, shoulders and back. And exercise helps prevent osteoporosis and the risk of broken bones. BETTER OVERALL HEALTH: Cycling helps you to maintain flexibility without stress on the joints.

Phoenix 98623 Revolution Cycle Pro II Exercise Bike

Phoenix 98623 Revolution Cycle Pro II Exercise Bike Review



Phoenix 98623 Revolution Cycle Pro II Exercise Bike Feature

  • Modern exercise bike with direct-drive resistance system and 39.6-pound balanced flywheel
  • Direct-drive system lets the rider pedal forward or backward, with quick-stop handle brake
  • 2-way adjustable seat post and handlebars move vertically and horizontally while you ride
  • Heavy-duty brake pad resistance system with center-pull brake pads; wheels for transport
  • 250-pound weight capacity; measures 24 x 42.5 x 42.3 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 113 pounds
The modern-looking Revolution Cycle Pro II is designed for an energetic and challenging workout, with such features as a direct-drive resistance system, an emergency stop brake system, and an adjustable seat and handlebars. Unlike with road bikes, the 39.6-pound balanced flywheel on the Revolution Cycle Pro II doesn't continue to spin if the rider stops pedaling. Instead, the rider slows the flywheel and controls the tension with a tension knob, helping the bike adapt to people with different intensity needs. The direct-drive system, meanwhile, lets the rider pedal either forward or backward during the workout, with a quick-stop handle serving as an instant brake for changing directions or in case of emergency. Most importantly, the Revolution Cycle Pro I is biomechanically efficient, with a two-way adjustable seat post that moves vertically and horizontally while you're mounted on the bike, along with an adjustable handlebar. As a result, you can drop the saddle down and out of the way to work the inner thigh, or perform other legwork off the back of the bike.

Other details include a heavy-duty brake pad resistance system with center-pull brake pads, front wheels for easy transport, sturdy toe clips made of the same alloy materials used in off-road racing, a heat-treated axle, a water bottle, and a weight capacity of 250 pounds. The Revolution Cycle Pro II measures 24 by 42.5 by 42.3 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 113 pounds.

About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

The modern-looking Revolution Cycle Pro II has advanced features such as � Direct Drive Resistance System, Emergency Stop Brake System, Adjustable Seats/Handlebars, and Easy Transportation. This revolutionary product is designed for an energetic and challenging workout, and is also adapted to people with different intensity needs. Unlike road bikes, the flywheel does not continue to spin if the rider stops pedaling. The rider slows the flywheel and controls the tension with a tension knob. A two-way adjustable seat post allows for a more complete and versatile exercise routine. This seat system was specifically designed for easy movement horizontally and vertically while mounted on the bike during the workout. Adjustable forward positioned handlebars and racing style pedals give the Revolution Cycle Pro II a road bike feel.
