After giving it some thought, I picked my favorite personally used and reviewed product over the past year.
While pondering and pedaling, I realized my favorite purchase (actually, it was a gift) out of all the reviews I've written and recommended is ... drumroll ..... "The Cubii."
This Personally Reviewed Product Still Rates 5 Stars After Nearly One Year of Use
I'd give The Cubii ten stars if I could. My mother purchased it last year for me as an early birthday gift, and it's been sitting under my desk since then.
I use it every day. In fact, I'm using it right now as I'm typing this article.
What's So Great About This Product?
Here's the list, based on my personal experience:
- It's top quality
- It's not cheap feeling or cheap looking
- It's completely quiet! It doesn't make a sound! No squeaks whatsoever!
- It fits nicely under my desk
- It's always there, so the possibility of exercise is always there
- It has a grip mat, so it doesn't slide around
- As soon as I sit at my desk, I can pedal
- When stressed or frustrated, I pedal faster
- If you're desk-bound for the entire day, you can pedal all-day
- Stop and start pedaling whenever you want
- It's addictive in a good way!
- Your glutes and thighs get a workout
- I feel less guilty sitting for an extended period when I'm pedaling!
- It helps me to think of new ideas when I'm creatively stuck

That is probably the best recommendation of all ~ that after a year a product holds up well to continuous use and still pleases the consumer. Thanks for the 5-Star reminder, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteMs. Elf, thank you - pedaling right now while on my computer :)
DeleteVery interesting. I have seen the photos on TV and always wondered about this product. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it <3
DeleteIf I had a desk, I know I would want a cubii. I'm no crazy about taking time to just exercise and it would be a great way to exercise without concentrating on "exercise". If I ever do have a desk again, my second purchase will be a Cubii.
ReplyDeleteYou put that exactly right, it's a way to exercise without thinking about it - I just sat down in front of my laptop for a bit, and the first thing I did was start to pedal, I'm pedaling again right now <3
DeleteWhen I have a desk again, I, too, will seriously consider buying a Cubii. Building exercise into one’s routine automatically is the key to consistency - something I lack and really need!
ReplyDeleteyou said it, "automatically" - it's just there so you do it :)
DeleteBarbara, I would have guessed that you still love the Cubii! I have an under desk exercise unit as well. Not a Cubii, but similar and I agree they are wonderful to have and great for keeping your body in motion. Good exercise while doing other tasks is a bonus for sure. Glad you are still in love with it!
ReplyDeleteawesome that you do under desk exercises too - they're such a terrific way to fit in movement when you're working
