We don't have room for a full elliptical trainer and my job means I'm sat for most of the day so I'm able to keep active whilst working. So while arriving home from my New Year's break to find an under-desk elliptical machine waiting for me was a little more "get your shit together" realness than I strictly needed on the third day of January, I'll take my fitness interventions where I can get them.

Cubii Total Body+ is compact, lightweight, and added upper-body pulley system for full-body workouts. Additionally, the Cubii is a good option if you like to fidget while sitting or want to move while you work. Therefore, if you’re looking to gain muscle, improve your aerobic conditioning, or burn a significant number of calories, you’re better off purchasing a traditional elliptical machine. However, as the primary motion involves pushing with your feet and ankles, pedaling requires a much smaller range of motion at your knees and hip joints. I recently graduated college, and I am finding it hard to fit in exercise to my daily routine working 8am-5pm, M-F.

As the company’s flagship product, the Cubii under-desk elliptical is designed to make exercise more accessible, regardless of your physical ability, age, or lifestyle. It's very heavy, so if you want a lightweight option that can move around the house with you, this might not be it. Similarly, if you tend to fidget or get restless, the Cubii could help you get the wiggles out while working or watching a movie. It differs from the Cubii Pro in that it isn't Bluetooth-enabled, so your progress has to be tracked manually, and is the most readily available Cubii in the UK.I found it impossible to idly pedal at any resistance, but especially if I wanted to get some exercise out of it.

HOMCOM Fitness Exercise Training Bike at home or office, listen to your favorite music while exercising. My only complaint on the tech side is that you have to manually input your resistance level on the app, which is rage-inducing if you forget and spend ten minutes pedaling at level eight but only get the credit for level two. At 27 pounds, it's totally manageable to carry back and forth if you commute in a car, but if you're planning to carry it far (say, on a journey through the New York City subway system), you're going to get your workout in before you make it to the office. First, I just worked at my computer for 10 minutes, to determine my resting heart rate while doing usual tasks.The big bold-faced claim is that this device allows you to “get fit while you sit,” helping you “burn calories from your couch” and “lose weight and get in shape” while toning your abs, core, hip flexors, glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves in the process. However, the attachable ChairLock included in the JR2 is a slight upgrade from the wheel stoppers provided with the JR1, making it even easier to stop your office chair from rolling. If you think Cubii workouts may be a good fit for your goals and needs, you should still consult your healthcare professional before beginning an exercise program. The ergonomic design is 10% smaller than previous generations, but still offers the same low-impact motion that allows you to burn calories and increase muscle strength.

The DeskCycle 2 offers a similarly small, lightweight profile that fits right under your desk like the Cubii ellipticals, but the range of motion on the pedals is wider, and you can pedal both forward and backward. Which is all well and good, but the distance between many things that sound good and things that actually work could be measured in miles. The JR1 offers eight resistance levels, allowing you to match the intensity to your current fitness level and phase of your workout, such as a warmup or a more intense portion of your training session. As promised, the Cubii easily fit under my desk, and the chair stopper prevented my chair from rolling away.

That said, I don’t feel the results pay for it, when you could get more physical (and psychological) benefits from taking brief work breaks to go for a walk.
