'I Had A Walking Pad' — But Traded It In For This 'Smaller Footprint' Fitness Solution

This “space saver” stationary bike lets you do all sorts of movements — then folds for easy storage.

With 16 levels of resistance and included bungee bands for your arms and legs, this slender bike offers a full-body workout. Use the petals for low-impact, gentle movement that, according to doctors, puts less strain on your knees than jogging, then add in the arm bands for upper-body resistance, targeting your arms and shoulders.

If you’re really looking for a challenge, you can add in the leg bands for more lower-body strengthening. It also has a stand for holding an e-reader or phone, just in case you prefer to get tasks done or have some entertainment while pedaling away. This handy machine is designed for riders from 4-foot-11 to 6-foot-6 with a 300-pound weight capacity.

It’s so compact that when you’re not actively riding on it, you may forget it’s there.

Weighing just 38 pounds with two front wheel rollers, the machine is easy to move around your space and to store when not in use. Folded up, one reviewer says it’s about the size of standard golf clubs. A reviewer who had a walking pad swapped to this bike because of its “smaller footprint.”
