Get fit while you sit: The Cubii Jr. 2 workout machine

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 new Cubii Jr. 2 Compact Seated Elliptical — on sale with mat and footstraps for just $230 at QVC (was $318, if purchased separately) — is a genius little machine. It 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 are stationary — under a desk, beneath a dining room table, and yes, even at the foot of your couch. The Cubii Jr. 2 is lighter than its predecessor and even easier to move around!

And if you’re new to QVC, the deal just got sweeter: Use code SURPRISE to get $10 off your first purchase!$230 $318 at QVC

In true QVC fashion, some great goodies are included: A nonslip mat keeps the base still even when you’re vigorously moving. And there’s a display monitor to track stats like calories burned and distance. It comes in five fun colors, too (though the black and silver combo is currently waitlist-only). Rather not pay $230 all at once? You can opt for five interest-free EasyPay installments of $46 each instead.

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. 

It acts as a virtual trainer, working to help you improve your posture and engage your core while you train. It has eight resistance levels, an ergonomic design, and it’s 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.$230 $318 at QVC
