So REFRESHING to see a review like this. This young lady gets right to the point and explains everything I wanted to know about this device without a bunch of silly production distractions. So annoying to see so many "instructional" videos that spend 50% or more of their time with "cutsie" time-wasting jibber-jabber that contains ABSOLUTELY NOTHING USEFUL ABOUT THE ITEM. People who create "How-To" videos should watch this one and learn how to review a product. VERY GOOD! VERY HELPFUL! THANK YOU!

I just started. Mine came in last week and it was really cool of them to include a screw driver for convenience. I'm 5'3" and 240lbs. As a bigger woman, I'm really embarrassed to go to the gym and jogging/jumping jacks kinda stuff when you are top heavy cup size is also embarrassing. I love that their KZfaq channel has some great info and workout videos to follow along to as well. I can feel great working out at home and it's much easier to stick to. Love seeing all the comments from folks of all ages. I'm in my early 30s trying to lose weight. It's great seeing how it's helped those who are in therapy or limited mobility as well. :) thank you for an honest and to the point review!

I have a lot of chronic pain and chronic fatigue. Sometimes I’m able to be very active and I get quite fit and other times I really struggle. Lately I’ve been struggling and have had to majorly adapt my workouts to compensate. So I just bought a peddle exerciser and got one barely used for only $45! It’s already so helpful to have something low impact to do on high pain days

I'm using this with an exercise ball right now because my office chair was a little bit too tall. I have to keep it on 5-6 because the higher tension causes too much rocking. In addition to working my legs and core, it also engages my lats because I have to press down with my elbows to get extra stability. I'm gonna see about raising my desk about 3 inches so I can use my office chair and go ham on it. I should easily be able to get 10 miles a day that way and hopefully I can be on top of the leaderboard in the app.

Hey Doctor Jo. Thanks for the review. I am looking at having a knee replacement this fall (Covid might delay that) and want to keep my knee flexible now that we are under orders to stay at home and my gym is closed. I enjoy using a seated elliptical at the gym, but my gym is closed. The cubii seems like a good alternative until things go back to something closer to normal. Any thoughts? Thanks very much!

Question: Is this Cubi Pro more effective to burn calories than the stair steppers from Sunny brand for example? If this mean anything, I'm 6.3 ft tall 270 lbs looking to lose alot of weight in no time. I unfortunately work 9 hours on my desk full time and barely have time to go for a 60-30 mins walk per day. The stairstepper in general is bulky and low impact. I understand I need to eat well by incorporating vegetables in every meals and have snacks plus minimize sugar intake next to nothing as much as possible but the bottom line is that I need something to help me exercise effectively while sitting. what do you think? Yay for Cubi Pro? Or nay? Hope this makes sense?

Hey Dr. Jo- I am seriously thinking about getting a cubii - I have arthritis in my knees and some instability at times. I wonder a few things: 1. How bout knee hip alignment? Does the cubii stay in place? One thing I noticed about the similar cycle product is that it slowly moves and then you are in bad alignment > an injury waiting to happen. 2. Noise? Will my co-workers complain? 3. How bout core/ab work? Does it work any of those muscles? Thanks!

I really like it!! It has some weight to it, so it doesn't slide on the surfaces I have used, which is carpeting and rugs. I haven't tried it on hard wood flooring, but I still don't think it would slide. It has pretty good grip on the bottom. It's also really quiet. One of the things I love about it is that it's smooth and quiet. If you really listen in the video, you can hear it, but barely. What you hear on the video is what you hear in person too. As far as core work, unfortunately, probably not much. It does work your hip flexors which are a part of the core, but for the abs themselves, probably not unless you sit up without any back support, and that would work the core some. I hope that helps!! Good luck.

You can definitely use it without the app. You only need the app if you want to track the calories you've burned or participate in any of their games or challenges. And you only need to charge it if you want to use the app. The charging is only for the Cubii's "brains," not its basic functionality :-) It does weigh about 25-30 pounds, though, so if you can't lift something that heavy, you'd need someone to help you move it around, or have someone help you put it in a place where you can use it without having to move it.

Hello Dr. Jo, I need a knee replacement due to bone on bone and I"m trying to loose weight first. In the interim, I need to exercise from sitting at my desk all day. With that being said, I cannot walk far due to asthma and knee pain so the treadmill works better than a bike, but I am a couch potato so I think this would benefit for exercise, but I'm afraid this may cause pain and wind up in the exercise museum in my house with other equipment that I cannot use . Will Cubii hurt my knee joints, or should stick to the treadmill. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi Dr.Jo. I'm somebody who works in an office like environment that requires me to be at a desk for about 8 to 12 hours depending on the work flow. I walk on my two 15 minute breaks and once for 10 minutes at lunch. I also study a lot when I'm home as well. My diet is pretty healthy, but I'm really concerned at how sedentary I am. I'm concerned about heart disease later in life and I can't really change my routine too much. Will this really help get the blood flowing and contribute towards a healthier heart or should I be looking for something else?

For your specific situation, I think it is really great to have. The best part is once you get going, it's such a smooth movement, that you hardly know you are working out while you are doing your work. I really think it's worth considering, or at least something similar. Good luck.

I'm considering buying one of these but don't have a smart phone and don't want to have one given that I already have two laptops at home. So can one use this with an app on one's laptop of without the app and still benefit from using it?

My husband is 83. He has neuropathy and cannot really point his toes well. I am looking for something he can do when he can’t walk around the block with his rollator. He has poor balance. He went to therapy and struggled with the exercise bike. His legs are so long his arms almost don’t reach the handles. Do you think this would be beneficial for him? I like the large peddles. I think is size 13 would fit without falling off the peddles like a regular bike.

It might be. The nice part is if he has long legs, you can move it to different height chairs/couches to get the best fit.

Would this be a good option for someone dealing with edema? For some reason my lymphedema is the absolute worst when I’m at my desk/in my office chair, and that’s precisely where I need to be basically all day every day. PT told me my legs need more circulation/activity. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It might help. Definitely worth discussing with your doctor/PT to see if it's a good fit for you.

I've not been able to make in-app resistance adjustments although its relative control on dashboard seems to be graphically working since I purchased the cubii pro a week ago. Is there anyone who has tackled this issue and is able to digitally adjust the resistance without making use of the mechanical knob? Thanks so much for your help.
@AskDoctorJo
@AskDoctorJo 5 жыл бұрын
I don't think it controls it. I think you just put the resistance you are using in the app so it can track correctly what you are doing. But I don't know that for sure, so it might be best to contact Cubii directly to find out for sure.
