Randy Ross Hammer Stepper Bike
Available At: Mineola Bicycle
The elliptical machine is probably one of the most popular pieces of workout equipment made today. It produces a full-body exercise through a comfortable and natural movement that whittles away calories. But the machine’s sedentary nature means you’ll be getting pretty good at counting ceiling tiles and locating spots to dust. The Randy Ross Stepper Bike takes the fat-burning capabilities of an elliptical machine and adds a bike, giving your workout some fresh air and scenery. Stop gazing out a window while you workout; bring the outdoors to you.
