Schwinn 231 Recumbent Exercise Bike

Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape with the compact, comfortable Schwinn 231 recumbent exercise bike. The 231 boasts all 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 better cooling fan, 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 padded base that adjusts in the for/aft positions to accommodate a variety of body types and sizes. Specifications: 16 resistance levels 10 preset programs and 10 profile courses Programs include calorie goal, time trial, fitness test, BMI measurement, recovery test, results mode, quick start, and manual mode Backlit LCD monitor with BioConnect feedback display Workout stats include time, interval time, RPM, watts, distance, pulse, speed, calories, and resistance Extra-wide comfort seat with dual-position lumbar support and slide bolsters Premium BioFit pedals Handlebars with integrated heart rate grips Onboard storage behind seat for easy access to magazines, towels, and other accessories Adjustable cooling fan Transport wheels for easy movement 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.  more

Excellent Choice

I did my research, and the toughest choice once I narrowed it down was upright or recumbent. Next was Schwinn 231 or Schwinn 230. I went recumbent because of a bad back. I have been a runner for years, and all that pounding has taken...

Should have put together sooner. Damaged with flywheel scraping side of encloser. Hope can get fixed for less than bargain price I paid.
