Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike - Review

The Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike is a compact stationary bike designed to offer dual-position lumbar support with Bio-Fit Comfort wide seat.  Unlike some of the traditional upright exercise bikes which sometimes cause strain on the upper part of the body, this Schwinn exercise bike was designed with the comfort of its users in mind. 

This stationary exercise bicycle provides a comfortable workout as it has a recumbent seat with a micro-adjustable fore/aft seat slider. This guarantees back support that can comfortably accommodate a range of body types. 

This is basically one of the main reasons why consumers love the Schwinn 230 Recumbent. It eliminates the back strain that you typically experience with upright exercise bike models.

This unit also includes handle bars with heart-rate sensor grips, to enable you to monitor the effect of your workout on your heart.  It also has oversized deluxe Bio-Fit pedals. The pedals are slightly lowered, for a more comfortable riding position during exercise.

Who says exercising is boring?  With the Schwinn 230, you can get an easy and relaxing workout while watching your favorite TV show as it does not create “noise” while you pedal.  This is made possible by the quiet magnetic resistance system feature of this bike. 

It is also designed in such a way that reading your favorite magazine or book will be convenient as it comes equipped with a reading rack.  And the water bottle holder is is easy to reach under the seat whenever you need to replenish your fluids.

For those who want a challenging workout, this recumbent bike also has 6 preset programs. These programs include quick start, manual mode, calorie goal, BMI measurement, recovery test, and results mode. 

There are also 16 levels of resistance to choose from, guaranteeing an invigorating workout for users at any fitness level. 

Monitoring your progress is a snap. The LCD console is adjustable in three viewing angles, and provides feedback on metrics such as time, interval time, watts, distance, RPM, pulse, and more.

This exercise bike measures 63 x 25 x 46 inches (L x W X H) and has a capacity of 300 pounds.  Transport wheels provide for easy maneuvering, though the cycle does weigh in at slightly over 100 lbs.
