Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer | Increase Strength and Shed Weight

The Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer brings you a smooth, comfortable workout experience that increases cardio and muscle strength while shedding unwanted pounds. The 430 utilizes a high-speed, high-inertia perimeter-weighted flywheel and ECB resistance (20 levels), providing smooth, quiet, and consistent momentum.

The Schwinn 430 Elliptical offers a 20″ stride length combined with Precision Path Foot Motion Technology that simulates a natural running motion. Simultaneously, the large cushioned articulating footplates provide additional comfort to give you an effective yet low-impact workout.

There are many workout variety 22 preset programs, including nine profiles, eight heart rates, two custom, two fitness tests, and 1 Quickstart program. In addition, there are 20 levels of computer-controlled resistance (with 10 Quick Keys for easy adjustments), so you can adjust the intensity of your workout. For example, you can change the incline to 10 degrees (manual ramp with six positions).

The Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer features dual-action handlebars – manual and static. To work your upper and lower body together for a more effective workout, hold the manual handlebars (moving) or hold onto the static handlebars (stationary) to work your lower body in isolation.

Concept2 BikeErg Stationary Exercise Bike | High Intensity Cardio

The Concept2 BikeErg Stationary Exercise Bike brings enough features to easily justify its price tag at around $1,200. In addition, this bike provides one of the smoothest rides and supports all skill levels. Furthermore, it has an adjustable and dynamic air resistance system, an impressive 300-pound user weight capacity, fully adjustable handlebars, and a freewheel drivetrain for a road bike feel.

The Concept2 BikeErg uses the same air resistance system as the Concept2 Model D rower, featuring an air turbine with a damper system for overall adjustment. It’s an exercise bike that isn’t a spin or upright bike. Most users have also stated that it provides a different workout and pedaling feel than other air resistance bikes.

The Concept2 BikeErg also features a battery-operated backlit fitness monitor with built-in programs. Additionally, it features a USB port, Bluetooth, and ANT+ wireless connectivity to connect the bike to your smart devices, download/upload, track, and save your workouts. Designed and targeted for elite cyclists, the PM5 monitor accurately measures the Watts, RPM, Distance, Time, and other superior performance results.

Concept2 has applied its intuitive and straightforward touch to the handlebar and seat height adjusters. Just pull the seat to raise it, and it will remain locked at the required height; a lever flick lowers it — no fiddly pulling of pins or twisting of knobs here. In addition, the platform pedals are replaceable with cycling-specific SPD clip-in pedals.
