The Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike builds on Schwinn’s wealth of expertise in cardio fitness equipment, and in particular on their extensive range of exercise bikes.
The result is a bike you can enjoy as you burn that fat and get toned up, and all at a level that suits you perfectly, at home and whenever you want.
Why Choose The Schwinn 230?
The Schwinn 230 Recumbent Bike is an ideal exercise bike that allows you to concentrate on staying in shape whilst it deals with the rest.
Using a bike is inherently a low impact form of exercise, which looks after your joints and muscles far more than running and many other forms of exercise.
A recumbent bike goes one step further, as much of the user’s weight is supported by the seat and backrest, away from the legs. The impact intensity is very low, making it suitable for those new to exercise programs or returning from injury or other absence.
Equally, the 16 resistance levels, multiple programs and LCD and heart rate monitoring system will ensure that the bike grows with your increasing fitness levels, and is also suitable right out of the box for the advanced user.
It’s easy to get on and off, with a well crafted walk-through design. The seat adjusts forwards and backwards, there are additional handle bars at the side to make for a more comfortable ride, and the adjustable angle LCD screen has been designed to be as easy to view as possible.
The resistance system is smooth and very very quiet, so perfect if you’re working out to your favorite TV program.
Oh, and it looks great!
