Why use a desk elliptical/mini-stepper?
Most people say that they do not have enough time to exercise. With most of our days spent working, looking after family members and completing household chores, it can be very difficult to find an extra 1-2 hours to go to a gym or a fitness class.
The desk elliptical can be used WHILE you work, read, use a computer or relaxing at home. It’s a real time-saver!
What are the benefits of active sitting?
Using a desk elliptical like this Cubii Pro has a number of health benefits:
- It helps improve the blood circulation in your legs helping reduce the risk of problems with varicose veins, blood clotting and fluid retention
- It activates fat burning enzymes. When you sit still for long periods of time, these enzymes are ‘switched off’ increasing your risk of weight gain and metabolic disorders
- It burns calories! With minimal effort, you can burn up to 200 calories an hour using a desk elliptical like the Cubii Pro

What do users say?
“I believe Cubii is good for those who are trying to incorporate more activity into their sedentary lifestyles. I also find the app enjoyable and informative. I discovered with a couple hours of peddling a day I can realistically burn about 200-300 calories. I am certain you can burn significantly more if you put more effort(and peddling time) into it.”
“I had never heard of the Cubii. My friend sent me one as a gift when I started my weight loss journey! It is the BEST gift I have ever received. From the first day, I started, I was able to pedal 50 minutes. Now 5 weeks later I am up to 300 minutes a day, while working. It is under my desk. My co-workers have a chart that shows my progress daily. At the end of the day we have a read-out of the data. I see a HUGE difference in my ability to walk distances; have lost weight; and my knees are no longer hurting. Not to mention I was #12 in the cubii world for use last month!!! Highly recommend to everyone!”
“It is a bit heavier than I thought it would be. STURDY and quiet though. There is a little hum and you “peddle” but most of us have computers louder than it is”
