Wish you could keep your blood pumping while you’re busy doing paperwork? Struggling with achy joints that are making you lose your motivation to even get off the couch? Well, guess what? You still have no excuse to remain out of shape, because it’s totally possible—in fact, it’s easy—to squeeze in a workout without even getting out of your seat.

The Cubii Jr. 2 Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machine is a genius little machine that lets you stick to your fitness goals while watching TV, answering emails, or even rehabilitating from an injury. Set up this cool gadget anywhere you’re stationary—under a desk, beneath a dining room table, and yes, even at the foot of your couch.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

Thanks to ultra-smooth and stable non-impact gears, the machines are gentle on joints and perfect for anyone trying to ease back into an exercise routine or hoping to supplement gym workouts in their downtime. The Cubii Jr. 2 Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machine has a built-in LCD display so you can keep track of your progress. It displays calories burned, strides pedaled and your distance traveled, to give you solid feedback on how you're doing.

The Cubii features eight resistance levels and an ergonomic design. This kit even comes with a three-pound dumbbell set and a non-slip mat. The whole thing is so quiet you won’t lose focus or risk distracting others in the room. In other words, family movie night is no sweat with this covert workout buddy.

You can’t add more hours to the day but you can maximize the ones you’ve got with a tiny, hands-free home gym. Pretty genius if you ask me—or any of the thousands of Amazon reviewers raving over the Cubii Jr. 2 Seated Under-Desk Elliptical Machine.

"I use this machine every day when working, for a minimum of six hours," one fan wrote . "Today is the first day that I have said hello to the scale since I started using this machine, and to my surprise, I have lost six pounds. I also notice that I have less plantar and achilles stiffness which makes me very happy. The Cubii is whisper quiet and has helped up well so far."

"It doesn't take up much space and can be easily moved. If I want it in my office, under my desk, or in the living room so that I can use it while watching TV, it's easily moved and doesn't get in the way," a fellow satisfied customer said. "It has a great range of resistance and I can definitely feel it in my legs, plus it gives me a solid aerobic workout."

Again, this sale is only for today—save $70 and rescue your health, too.
