Here is what the Cardio Cruiser brings you:

• Quick to tone the whole body
• Gets you to your fat-burning zone quickly
• The designof the machine gives you a powerful workout sculpting the body at the same time
• comfortable workout(the recumbent bike)
• Upper body toning (elliptical machine)
• Lower body workout (stair stepper)

If you don't know what a Cardio Cruiser is, here's a photo:

You probably notice that you are sitting while using this, not standing up like most fat-burning machines. While you are in a recumbent position, it will vigorously workout the muscles in your thighs, calves and hips. How that happens is from the stepping motion of the foot pedals, almost like a stair stepper. Then, it works your arms, shoulders, back and chest using the handles. When you're done, simply fold up and store away.

The Cardio Cruiser is made from solid steel and offers up to 5 levels of resistance. You can adjust the seat in 7 different positions, that way you can get maximum comfort by readjusting to your workout. Using the power train technology, the machine gives you a smooth workout and can exercise up to 95% of your body. You get low-impact workouts that will target major muscle groups in your hamstrings, hips, glutes and thighs.

People who have used it are saying that in terms of use and functions, it delivers an exceptional cardio workout and tones muscles. Some reviewers didn't like the noise the machine makes, even though it claims to be a quiet workout. Some people have found it to be squeaky.

All in all, the Cardio Cruiser is easy to use, effective and affordable.

A Reader from an amazon.com site said that they've been looking for a low impact machine that still got their body moving and they thought the machine gives you a full body workout without the back pain. They liked the dvd that is included  and thought the set up was a breeze.

A Shopping.com user thought it is a great machine for people who want to constantly move around and work out their cardio system.

A comment that was made on mysears.com said that since they've been working out with the Cardio Cruiser, they've gone from a size 15 to 11. They said they liked that you can sit instead of stand and even watch tv while using it.
