Schwinn Elliptical Trainer, Model 430


List Price: $799.00
Sale Price: $599.00

Okay, it's not a bicycle, but I think you will forgive us when you discover what this machine can do. We couldn't resist, and we think you won't be able to either. Schwinn continues to amaze us at Stationary Bicycle. As we look over what is offered for exercise options, we constantly look at the number of reviews, and then the overall average rating. A piece of machinery that pulls a 5 star ratine (out of 5), but has only 3 or 4 ratings, doesn't pull much weight with us usually. If a piece of equipment has 150 or so ratings and pulls a 4, that is one we go after. But this Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer had over 430 reviews. That tells us people are buying this machine. And it pulled a 4.5 star rating. We rarely see that high a rating when anything gets over 50 reviews. So, Folks, if you are looking for a solid piece of equipment to help tone up that body of yours consider this one. The Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer offers eight computer-controlled resistance levels and eight workout programs for workout variety, including six user-profile programs, one manual, and one calorie goal program. Its quick start functions allows you to easily change your resistance level while exercising to challenge yourself to the next level. Three feedback programs--recovery mode, results mode, and body mass index (BMI)--allow you to track the progress of your workout routine. BioGlide motion technology offers a natural-feeling 18-inch stride while the trainer's BioFit design will provide a comfortable feel on the footpads and handlebars. The handlebars also feature grip heart rate monitoring which allows you to track your heart rate while you're exercising. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips. This elliptical trainer has a compact footprint 59 inches long by 26 inches wide by 68 inches tall.

2 in 1 Exercise Bike & Elliptical Cross Trainer


List Price: $239.99
Sale Price: $200.00

We at Stationary Bicycle like options. This Confidence 2 in 1 Elliptical Cross Trainer & Exercise Bike certainly gives that, and its smooth action seems to be a favorite among some of the reviewers (one included at the end of this review). At first glance, the unit resembles a standard elliptical trainer, with a pair of footpads that move in a natural elliptical motion, along with a set of arm poles that move in conjunction with your legs. The smooth, fluid movement will tone your arms, chest, back, hips, legs, and glutes while providing a low-impact workout that's five times as efficient as walking. The trainer's a step above most units, however, thanks to the addition of an adjustable seat, which adds more variety to your workouts. As a result, you can turn your trainer into an upright exercise bike and exercise while standing or sitting. The trainer also strides in both forward and reverse to add even more variety. The Confidence trainer includes an adjustable resistance dial, along with a four-function onboard computer that tracks your time, speed, distance, and calories. It measures 34" x 60" x 24" (W x H x D), and offers a maximum capacity of 250 pounds. It weighs 65 pounds itself. Customer comment: I just wanted to let [you] know that I love my elliptical bike. This particular bike is really a smooth ride and easy on the ankles, knees, hips and back. I've attached some before and after pictures so you can see what this machine did for me!!! A colleague of mine was so impressed at how fast i lost the weight he came over my house to see this machine that I'd been talking about, it took him all of 30 seconds of riding it before he asked me where he could purchase one!

List Price: $699.99
Sale Price: $899.99

We at Stationary Bicycle like multifunctional tools and equipment. If you are going to spend the money for a good exercise bike, why not get one that can also do other non-bike exercises? The Stamina Conversion II Recumbent Bike / Rower is just such a machine! Featuring a battery-operated monitor displaying speed, distance, time, calories burned, and heart rate, this two-in-one machine combines a recumbent bicycle and a rower for two types of low-impact strength and cardio workouts. Moving a pin switches from one mode to the other. In either bicycle or rower mode, magnetic resistance provides a quiet, smooth workout, whose intensity can be varied by turning an eight-position knob without interrupting a workout. A foam-padded seat glides on a ball-bearing roller system along an aluminum rail during rowing, and adjusts to fit different leg lengths for recumbent biking. For bicycling, oversized pedals and adjustable foot-straps hold feet securely to improve pulling motion, in addition to pushing motion. For rowing, a heavy-duty nylon strap and foam grips keep hands stable and comfortable. Assembled, the machine measures 74-1/4 inches long x 23-1/2 inches wide x 34 inches high and weighs 108 pounds. Folded for storage, it measures 34 inches long x 23-1/3 inches wide x 56-1/2 inches high. This 2-4-1 price is hard to beat!
