It has a wind resistance that works smoothly and quietly. The molded seat is comfortable, it has a multi function monitor that racks distance, calories used, speed, time, number of strokes and strokes per minute. The wheels and the fact that it folds helps the storage and moving it around.

Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower Review

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:02:09 +0000

The Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower is built with a sturdy steel frame and an extruded aluminum rowing beam with a smooth and quiet magnetic resistance. Since it is a recumbent type of bike machine it supports your lower back while giving you a better posture.

It also features a comfortable seat, with foam injected and lower lumbar support, for more comfort and allows extended time of exercise. Your heart rate is monitored with convenient hand grip pulse sensors. And the LCD monitor displays speed, distance and your heart rate.

Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower Specifications

Magnetic Resistance
LCD Display
Foam Injected with lower lumbar support Seat
Dual Action
Steel Frame
70’’ L x 10’’ W x 25.5 H
105 Pounds Weight
250 Pounds Max User Weight
Warranty: 5 years on Frame, 90 days on Parts

Pay one, take two

The Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower is two machines in one, a rowing machine and a recumbent bike, all within a unique design. It allows you to chose which type of exercise you want to do, adding motivation, since you won’t always be in the mood for the same type of exercise sessions.

You can have two types of power impact strength exercises plus cardio workouts, and all you need to do is just change a pin and you go from biking to rowing. The foam padded seat glides on a ball bearing system, and can be adjusted to different users’ leg length when in the rowing mode.

The magnetic resistance is very quiet and can be adjusted manually with a dial, it has eight resistance levels, so that it should be challenging enough for anyone. The display is battery operated and displays all the important info for you to track your exercises.

The Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower has two major faults, the resistance could have more levels than just eight, and there are no preset programs. Even so, it isn’t a machine that you should just put out of question, it still has the great advantage of a two in one machine and it saves space and money, either that buying a recumbent bike and a rowing machine.

It saves space with its dimensions of 70’’ L x 10’’ W x 25.5 H, and it isn’t that heavy with only 150 pounds, so it is easier than other machines to move around the house to change rooms or store it away after working out, and it can be folded.

Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower at a Glance…

Pros:

Two machines in one
Space saver
Magnetic resistance

Cons:

No preset programs
Manual 8 levels of resistance

The Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower is an affordable option if you won’t go for separate rowing and recumbent bike machines. But the construction is a bit cheap and it lacks features like the preset programs.

Stamina 15-9003 Deluxe Conversion II Rower Review

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:10:17 +0000

If you are one of those fitness enthusiasts that dread running or those that are having problems with joint pains, then this is for you. The Stamina 15-9003 Deluxe Conversion II Recumbent / Rower combines two of the most widely accepted, virtually impact-free, cardiovascular exercises – rowing and cycling.

That is two great workout machines in one outstanding fitness equipment.

Stamina 15-9003 Deluxe Conversion II Recumbent Rower Specifications

Extruded aluminum rowing beam
Multi-function monitor displays speed, distance, time, odometer, heart rate, and calories burned
Smooth, quiet magnetic resistance
Grip-edged, 8-position dial knob increases or decreases the workout intensity
Oversized, molded, foam-padded seat and seatback
Oversized foot pedals and adjustable foot straps
Heart rate sensors are built into the seat handles. Heart rate is displayed on the monitor
Sturdy, steel frame construction with aluminum rowing beam
Folds for easy storage

The extruded aluminium rowing beam allows for smooth and sturdy gliding of the ball-bearing guide wheels. The extrusion itself provides for the architectural strength of the whole beam. This not only makes it light, but it also serves as a rail of the guide wheels of the padded seat, also. This helps you stay in the proper alignment position as you row. And as for the beam being made out of aluminium, it helps in cooling the beam itself.

Ever wondered why aluminium is the most widely used metal for heat-sinks? I rest my case.

A Multi-function monitor display keeps your workout in check. Whether your workout is based on how much calories you need to burn or how high you need to keep your heart rate up in a period of time, this multi-function monitor display will tell you what you need to know and when you need to know.

It’s actually like a personal trainer that will never shout at your ear yet reminds you how much more you need to go. Remember, only you are in control.

Smooth, quiet magnetic resistance means there is always resistance. Couple that with the grip-edged dial knob that lets you increase your workout intensity even with sweaty palms, then your workout will not be like rowing or cycling in the air. And that is how a real workout should be.

The Stamina 15-9003 Deluxe Conversion II Recumbent / Rower has oversized, moulded, foam seats, back, and handles mean comfort in a long and demanding workout while oversized foot pedals means extra grip and a sturdy base of support.

Properly positioned heart rate sensors are built into the seat handles to give you a safe, wrist pain-free and disturbance-free workout as you keep your heart rate in check.

A steel frame construction means a strong fitness equipment that will take on the beating of your intense workouts for years to come.

Aside from having to buy two fitness equipment, this one sturdy equipment actually folds up to save you more space. With a folded space dimension of 34 inches long, 23.5 inches wide, and 56.5 inches high, this is a space-saver’s dream.

Stamina Deluxe Coversion II Rower at a glance…

Pros:

Two fitness equipment in one
Smooth and quiet resistance
Foam padded handles
Oversized , moulded, foam seats
Oversized foot pedals with straps
Rowing to cycling and vice versa in an instant

The Stamina 15-9003 Deluxe Conversion II Recumbent / Rower is a good buy especially if you are a fitness enthusiast with a limited budget and space.
