Schwinn 220 Recumbent Exercise Bike Review
The Schwinn 220 Recumbent Exercise Bike is an affordable recumbent exercise bike from the Schwinn 2009 product line. The Schwinn 220 exercise bike offers all of the latest exercise bike technology from Schwinn along with Schwinn quality and warranties.The Schwinn 220 is built well and has many of the same features as the more expensive Schwinn 240 recumbent.
The 12 preset programs, quiet magnetic ECB resistance (Eddy current brake) system, super quiet motor, and simple assembly are just a few of the many features that makes the Schwinn 220 recumbent exercise bike a great buy.
Exercise bikes, including the Schwinn 220 Recumbent provide an excellent low impact, aerobic exercise and are more compact and cheaper than other home fitness equipment.
You can watch TV, listen to music and your hands are free (for reading magazines or books, etc.). Recumbent Exercise Bikes are more popular mostly because most people consider them more comfortable.
Schwinn Recumbent Exercise Bike Comparisons:
The Schwinn 240 Recumbent Bike has more options (such as a reading rack, multicolor LCD, telemetry heart rate monitor and more preset programs) but you will usually pay about $100 more for that model. The Schwinn 220 is a high quality, well built recumbent exercise bike with Schwinn quality and warranties. If you need to keep your costs down I would recommend the Schwinn 220 but if you can afford the extra $100 (approximately) then I would recommend the Schwinn 240.
