This review has been updated 11 times since it was first published in January of 2021. If you’re worried about the amount of time you spend sitting, but don’t feel comfortable standing for hours on end, there are other healthy options. Bike desks are a great way to sneak in a little cardio without having to stop at the gym on the way home from work. Our selection includes foldable and under-desk models for when space is an issue, as well as larger ones for comfortable home use.

10. Vive Cycle

Perfect for getting a little movement in at the office, the Vive Cycle is a simple and lightweight device that folds up to a compact size when not in use. It’s best for users with short legs, and though it does get hot with long-term use, it’s fine for modest workouts.
