Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike

Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape with the compact, comfortable Schwinn 230 recumbent exercise bike. The 230 boasts many of the high-quality features of the Schwinn 213, but adds several extras, including a nicer, easier-to-read instrument panel with a three-position angle adjustment, a slightly lower pedal height that produces a more comfortable riding position, and an easy step-through frame. And that doesn't even account for all the essentials, which range from 16 resistance levels to handlebars with an integrated heart rate monitor built into the grip.

The handiest feature, however, is unquestionably the anatomically designed recumbent seat, which not only offers a dual-position lumbar support for added comfort, but also a micro-adjustable fore/aft seat slider that accommodate a variety of body types and sizes. Other details include six preset programs (calorie goal, BMI measurement, recovery test, results mode, quick start, and manual mode), 10 profile courses, and transport wheels that both protect your floors and make the bike easy to store.

Track your time, interval time, RPM, watts, distance, pulse, speed, calories, and resistance on the 230's LCD console.

About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.

The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Customer Review: I love this bike!
I bought this bike about a month ago. It is very heavy and my exercise room is upstairs off the master bedroom, so we had quite a time getting it up there. We should have opened the box and carried it piecemeal up the stairs. It would have been much easier. I am a 55 year old woman, and I am NOT mechanically inclined, but am proud to say that I put this bike together by myself. The necessary tools were in the box - what a nice surprise! It took about 2 hours, but I was being careful and enjoying myself. The bike itself is so smooth and quiet. I have a very bad lower back and bad knees and I would recommend this to anyone who needs to exercise but can't use other exercise equipment because of physical challenges. I can watch the news at night and exercise at the same time and feel good about doing it. It's easy to get on the bike because the body is open. I don't have to climb over anything. Nice job, Scwinn...
