Working remotely or in an office generally means sitting a lot — a doctor might even say too much — and so it's especially important to get up and move around if you're working at a computer during most of your workday. When you're at your busiest, that's easier said than done, but there are some worthwhile alternatives to taking a long walk in the middle of the day. Right now, for instance, Walmart has a Flash deal on a $160 EDX Under-Desk Elliptical Machine, which you can score for just $76.
EDX Under-Desk Elliptical Machine, $76 (was $160) at Walmart
Whatever your fitness goals or routine, this compact, portable elliptical machine is something anyone can make good use of. It's important to get your steps in, and we'd all love to take a long bike ride every day if we could, but sometimes you're so busy that it's tempting to make excuses and cut exercise out of your schedule. That's where something like this EDX machine comes in. It's a low-impact, joint-friendly cardio activity that you can use on and off all day long, with multiple speed and resistance levels. It's even got a remote control and an LED display to keep track of your time, distance, speed, and calories burned. And it's whisper-quiet, so you won't bother your coworkers if you carry it into the office a couple of days a week.
"This is a Godsent item for my occupational and physical therapy," said a reviewer. "Since my stroke six years ago, I was never able to turn in a right circle as I was pivoting to go to bed or into my chair. [After a week of using this], I was able to turn my body to the right for the first time in six years. I can't wait to see the full effects of what this elliptical machine is going to do for my journey to walk again."
"It's very effective for leg and foot exercises," one shopper wrote. "Put it under your desk and you can pedal this exerciser at any time. It's silent, and the pedal part is very comfortable, just like taking a walk." Another said, "It runs quietly and smoothly. After using it for a couple of days, I already feel a difference in my legs — stronger and better balance."
Whether you're looking to build up leg strength after an injury or just stay active during long days at the office, you can save $84 on the EDX Under-Desk Elliptical Machine at Walmart.
