Schwinn Active Series 20 Recumbent Review
The Schwinn Active 20 Series exercise bike is a comfortable and affordable recumbent exercise bike. The Schwinn Active series (10 for upright and 20 for recumbent) bikes are less expensive than the newer models but still offer Schwinn quality and warranties. The Active 20 is easy to assemble as well as quiet and very comfortable.
Note: The Active 20 series has been replaced by the "Schwinn A20" for 2011. 
The11 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 Active Series 20 recumbent exercise bike a great buy.
Exercise bikes, including the Schwinn Active 20 Series 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 Active Series 20 Exercise Bikes have less resistence levels and number of programs than the Schwinn 220 and Schwinn 240 and is rated for a max user weight of 275 pounds compared to 300 pounds (for the 220 and 240) but you will usually pay $100 to $200 less for the Active Series 20.
The Schwinn 220 and Schwinn 240 have a better warranty and some additional features but if you need to keep your costs down and do not need the additional features, I can easily recommend this recumbent exercise bike for the price, quality and Schwinn warranty.
Note: The Active Series 20 is no longer available. Please refer to the Schwinn A20 Review.
Aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular health and circulation and exercise bikes provide a safe, low impact aerobic exercise that has been used for fitness, health and physical therapy for years.
