WHAT BENEFIT DO I GET FROM A RECUMBENT BIKE?
- you get the same aerobic benefits of riding a bike outdoors, all from the comfort and convenience of your own home. An effective workout is given, whatever your fitness level – from beginner to professional
- an ideal way to exercise if you have knee or leg problems, or are recovering from an injury. Very low stress on your body’s joints, as compared to jogging or walking
- recumbents are surprisingly compact and don’t take up that much room. Plus they can easily be stored away after exercising, thanks to their transport wheels
- If you tend to get bored quickly whilst exercising, Schwinn bikes are designed to let you comfortably watch TV, or read a magazine, as you pedal
HOW DOES THE 220 PERFORM?
- you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how comfortable this bike is. It has well-designed ergonomic pedals. Plus the console and seat are simple to adjust to your liking. The step-through frame gives you maximum convenience
- it feels very close to the experience of pedalling a road bike, due to its perimeter-weighted flywheel. The wheel is also surprisingly quiet, and gives a smooth ride
- the oversized stabilizers and levellers stop the bike from wobbling as you pedal. It feels very stable, even during tough workouts
- a 300 pound maximum user weight is recommended by Schwinn
WHAT ARE THE 220’s DESIGN FEATURES?
- 16 resistance levels cater for a wide range of fitness levels, as do the 12 workout programs that come with the machine
- built in to the handlebar’s grips is a heart rate monitoring system. This lets you know how you are getting fitter as you make progress with the bike
WHAT DO CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT IT?
“We just recieved the exercise bike today. My 2 son’s put it together in about 1 hour. We are enjoying the product so far. It is very quiet! I’m 4 ft, 11 inches and I can reach the pedals. I have knee problems and so far have been able to exercise without any aches or pains. It seems to be less stressful on my knees than walking”.
