DeskCycle Desk Exercise Bike Pedal Exerciser, White

Product Description:

If you want to burn calories, improve your health, mood and productivity while typing at your desk, then the DeskCycle is the bike for you. The DeskCycle was specifically designed to be used in the work environment. It has the same patented magnetic resistance mechanism as in the MagneTrainer. This insures smooth and quiet operation. Smooth pedal motion is healthy for your joints and won't distract you from your work. Quiet operation insures that you won't disturb your coworkers. Other bikes use friction resistance which is not smooth and can be noisy. The DeskCycle has a lower profile than the MagneTrainer. The pedals are 5 inches lower than the MagneTrainer
so that it will fit under desks better. It could be used at a 27 inch desk by a person as tall as 5'7". At this height you will need to push the cycle further under your desk and extend your legs. You may also need to lower your chair. If you are taller, you will need a taller desk. The highest resistance level is twice as high as the highest resistance setting of the Magneciser, and MagneCycle. At the lowest level it takes no effort to pedal it. The pedal motion is bidirectional, which means you can pedal it forward as well as in reverse. This lets you work opposite muscle groups. It comes with the Large pedals with adjustable Velcro straps. It has 8 calibrated resistance levels. We also provide an online calorie calculator on the desk-cycle website.

Improve your Health, Energy-Level and Productivity

Benefits of Exercising at Work

Aside from losing weight, improving their health, and extending their lifespan, people who exercise before or during work are happier, suffer less stress, and are more productive. This was discovered in a study performed by the University of Bristol.

Free up More Time in Your Day

With today's busy schedules it's difficult to find the time to get the exercise we need. The DeskCycle makes it easy to get safe and effective exercise while working at your desk, watching TV or any other time when you're sitting and your legs are free.

Benefits of Exercise

• Burn calories and lose weight
• Boost your energy level
• Increase your productivity
• Reduce your stress level

Double Your Energy Expenditure Without Working Up a Sweat

• Exercise Ball 6%
• Standing Desk 30%
• DeskCycle Level 1 50%
• DeskCycle Level 2 75%
• DeskCycle Level 3 100%
• Treadmill Desk 1.1 mph 100%
• Sweating Is Not Required

Pedaling the DeskCycle

Pedaling the DeskCycle at one rotation per second on the lowest resistance setting doesn't feel like exercise at all. Yet this will increase your energy expenditure 50% more than just sitting at your desk, and 20% higher than standing at your desk. The list to the right shows how much more your energy expenditure increases over just sitting at your desk for various desk exercise options.

Keep the Resistance Low at Your Desk

When using the DeskCycle at your desk you should set the resistance level to 3 or less. This low cardio zone increases your energy level and oxygen to your brain without distracting you from your work.

Perfect for the Workplace

Smooth Pedal Motion and Quiet Operation

Our patented magnetic resistance system is both smooth and quiet. The 39 lb effective flywheel weight keeps the pedals moving at a smooth pace. Smooth pedal motion makes pedaling the DeskCycle an unconscious activity so that you can focus your attention on your work. It's also very quiet, which allows you to pedal away without distracting your coworkers.

Low Profile and Wide Base

The low profile and wide base prevents the DeskCycle from rocking back and forth like the taller bikes. With the lowest pedal height of only 10 inches, the DeskCycle fits under desks as short as 27 inches. You may need to lower your chair, and if you are taller than 5 feet 8 inch you may need a taller desk.
