Product Description:
With the EMR Conversion II Recumbent Bike/Rower, you get two cardiovascular workouts in one space-saving machine. The magnetic resistance gives you a quiet, smooth workout at any resistance level. Increase or decrease the workout intensity with a click of a knob without interrupting your workout. Because both are impact-free activities, stationery cycling and rowing can be lifelong forms of exercise. For effective aerobic exercise, work within your target heart rate zone (70 percent to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate).

Amazon.com Product Description:
Featuring a battery-operated monitor displaying speed, distance, time, calories burned, and heart rate, this two-in-one machine combines a recumbent bicycle and a rower for two types of low-impact strength and cardio workouts. Moving a pin switches from one mode to the other. In either bicycle or rower mode, magnetic resistance provides a quiet, smooth workout, whose intensity can be varied by turning an eight-position knob without interrupting a workout. A foam-padded seat glides on a ball-bearing roller system along an aluminum rail during rowing, and adjusts to fit different leg lengths for recumbent biking. For bicycling, oversized pedals and adjustable foot-straps hold feet securely to improve pulling motion, in addition to pushing motion. For rowing, a heavy-duty nylon strap and foam grips keep hands stable and comfortable. Assembled, the machine measures 74-1/4 inches long x 23-1/2 inches wide x 34 inches high and weighs 108 pounds. Folded for storage, it measures 34 inches long x 23-1/3 inches wide x 56-1/2 inches high.

About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.

The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Rating : - Disappointed
I ordered the Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower a while back. Shipment arrived fast, however the packaging looked beaten up and sure enough a piece of equipment was damaged beyond repair. Requested replacement and the second shipment not only had the same type of shipping damage, it also appeared to be a previously returned item from another customer. So I am returning the second shipment as well and requested a refund. Not sure if its related to the sipping company Amazon is using for this type of heavy equipment. Shipper is called CEVA and I have never heard of them before. Either way based on my experience I cannot recommend this item from Amazon, stay away, even though my feedback is really feedback on the suppliers ability to ship items and not the item itself. Happy Rowing ... with some other equipment ... purchased I don't know where yet.
