Staying home is still the safest thing you can do for yourself and others. But staying active is critical to good health. If you’ve been feeling lethargic and achy, you’re not alone. It’s hard to get your steps in when you’re only going from the living room to the bedroom! So what is there to do?

We’ve got the answer—and it’s on sale today only, at Amazon, just in time to support your New Year’s resolution to exercise more. The Cubii Pro Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machine is—as the name and photo implies—a compact home workout option that lets you keep your body moving while seated. It’s $100 off today only, and it just might change your life.

Set up this cool gadget anywhere you’re seated—under a desk, beneath a dining room table, even at the foot of the couch—and multitask your way to toned hamstrings, powerful quads, and tight glutes while answering emails, catching up on the news, chatting on the phone or even chopping veggies. The Cubii Pro is quiet, so you might even be able to get away with using it during a long Zoom meeting.

Thanks to ultra-smooth, stable non-impact gears, the machine is gentle on joints. This makes it perfect for anyone trying to ease back into exercise, or ramping back up after an injury. But you can control the resistance—there are eight levels—so the Cubii Pro can also be made more challenging when you’re ready. At $100 off, it’s a steal.

The Cubii Pro can connect to your iPhone, Android phone, Fitbit or Apple Watch via Bluetooth to let you see calories burned, strides, miles and minutes. Your smart device not only tracks your progress but acts as a virtual trainer, working to help you improve your posture and engage your core.

“It was easy to assemble, easy to connect to Bluetooth and really fun seeing my stats at the end of the day,” wrote a happy five-star reviewer, “especially realizing I pedaled six miles mindlessly!”

With more than 1,500 five-star reviews, the Cubii Pro is a winner.

“The Cubii is GREAT!” says one shopper. “It's easy to put together, easy to use (and pair with the free Cubii app) and very quiet. I've tried other under-desk exercise equipment that require more leg height. The Cubii requires very little under desk height and low risk of banging your knees against the desk. It feels sturdy and well built. It feels like a natural, less cumbersome movement than other under-desk exercisers, and it's easy to use (not distracting) while working. Next thing you know, you've easily logged 10,000 steps!”

Maximize this time at home—and later at the office—with this small under-desk workout machine. This amazing price drop is only in effect for one day, though. So grab the Cubii Pro while you can, save $100, and turn this long winter into a great workout.
