Whether old or young, we know that being too sedentary is not good for us and research suggests that long periods of sitting have been linked to cardiovascular disease, an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes<\/a>, obesity, high blood pressure and other conditions such as depression<\/a> and anxiety<\/a>. <\/p>\n

So, if your New Year<\/a>\u2019s resolution is to get a bit fitter or move a little bit more but you can\u2019t find the time to make it to the gym, or don\u2019t want to venture out into the cold, an under-desk bike could be a total lifesaver. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re not talking about super-expensive, technical equipment here. The Dhouse Mini Pedal Exerciser<\/a> is a compact, easy-to-use bike that slots neatly under your desk so you can pedal while answering emails, on Zoom calls, or even watching Netflix<\/a> – no extra time needed. <\/p>\n

Dhouse Mini Pedal Exerciser<\/h2>\n

The Dhouse Mini Pedal Exerciser is a compact and versatile fitness tool for both arms and legs, perfect for use at home or in the office. <\/p>\n

It features adjustable resistance, a non-slip base, and durable construction, letting you pedal safely while sitting at a desk, watching TV, or reading. <\/p>\n

Lightweight, foldable, and portable, it helps improve circulation, strengthen muscles, and boost overall fitness in just a few minutes a day.<\/p>\n

Small but effective, it works your legs and gets your blood pumping in just a few minutes – and it\u2019s only \u00a312.10 at Amazon<\/a> UK.<\/p>\n

What features does it have? Well, it\u2019s built to stay put, with a protective bottom pad and stabilising tubes that stop it sliding or vibrating, so you can focus on your workout without worrying about slipping. <\/p>\n

Plus, the tension knob lets you adjust the resistance for a tougher or easier session, and it works both clockwise and counterclockwise, so you can work different muscle groups.<\/p>\n

Whether you work from home, or the office – this small device is genius for keeping you active. (Picture: Metro\/Amazon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This mini pedal machine<\/a> isn\u2019t just for legs though. It can be used for both arm and hand training to boost flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and upper body strength. Regular use can even help improve muscle tone and overall energy levels.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a desk worker but experience health<\/a> issues making mobility difficult, this could be just the ticket too.  <\/p>\n

With this there\u2019s no waiting for machines at the gym (or paying for an extortionate membership), heading out into the cold weather<\/a> or faffing around with exercise classes, just a quick bit of movement while you work that actually makes a difference to your overall health and wellbeing. <\/p>\n

And users who\u2019ve already welcomed the mini pedal exerciser<\/a> into their life have been reaping the benefits already.<\/p>\n

\u2018Brilliant for the price. I used this after a knee replacement. It helps with the knee bend and building the muscle in your legs,\u2019 said one happy shopper. <\/p>\n

This shopper loved using it while watching telly: \u2018Lovely little bit of kit. I have been suffering with arthritis lately and just moving my legs whilst watching TV is helping.\u2019<\/p>\n

And one user was keen on its no-frills design: \u2018Great product, highly recommended. Also great price, there are loads similar with all added extras like calorie counter and revolution counters but that’s not needed here, this is a great basic model at a competitive price.\u2019<\/p>\n
