The Hideaway Elliptical Trainer

The Hideaway Elliptical Trainer is a compact elliptical trainer that provides the same lower leg motion as the full sized counterparts that you find in the fitness and workout clubs. But for many of us with limited space to keep a full sized workout machine permanently setup in our home, the small compact size of the Hideway Elliptical Trainer enables you to hide the machine in a closet or stow under a bed when not in use.

You can definitely get a great aerobic workout on a treadmill, stair climber or elliptical trainer, but these machines are very expensive and bulky in size to have in the home. The Hideaway Elliptical Trainer provides you the same great workout at a very affordable low cost compared to the full sized machines. And the ability to store and hide the elliptical trainer away when not in use solves the space problem many of us have in the home.

Unlike the full sized elliptical trainers, the Hideaway Elliptical Trainer doesn’t have hand rails enabling it to squeeze into tight spaces when not in use. The open foot pad design also forces you to keep your balance as you stride which simultaneously works your abdominal muscles. And that’s actually an extra workout benefit that even the full sized machines don’t provide.

The well constructed and sturdy steel frame supports up to 250 pounds. The elliptical trainer also has a tension dial that lets you adjust the intensity of your workout. You can keep track of your workout progress with the LCD screen as it scrolls through the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time and calories burned.

The Elliptical Machine Office Desk

Sitting down in an office can be boring, I know I’ve been there, however there are ways of making it more exciting. Let me introduce to you the Elliptical Machine Office Desk.

This office gadget is just a typical desk with an exercise feature built into it, an elliptical trainer. Simply adjust the height of the desk with a push of a button until comfortable and then start pedaling. The exercise machine has be tailored to be suitable for almost any stature whether your extremely tall or short.

The idea behind the Elliptical Machine Office Desk is that throughout the day you pedal slow speeds without losing concentration on your normal work.  Keeping a slow speed also prevents you from getting sweaty and smelly should you be called out for a meeting with your colleagues.

Ideal for people who work in an office all day as the Elliptical Machine Office Desk claims up to 4,000 calories can be burnt in a day. To adjust the difficultness of the pedaling users can alter the electronic resistance to make it harder or easier. The exercise desk also offers a performance monitor (4″ x 6″ LED screen) for up to 30 individuals providing details on rpm, distance, and calories burned.

Sounds really good so far, however the downside to this desk is the price. At $8,000 it is one of the more expensive computer chairs available, however if companies want to maintain the fitness and activity levels of their employees then it could be a wise investment.
