Editorial Review:

Item Description:
Only Schwinn® can leverage more than 100 years of cycling expertise into better-engineered fitness products, and the Schwinn® 230 Recumbent Bike, with its walk-through design and scores of innovative features, is no exception.

Amazon.com Item Description:
Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape with the compact, comfortable Schwinn 230 recumbent exercise bike. The 230 boasts many of the high-quality features of the Schwinn 213, but adds several extras, including a nicer, easier-to-read instrument panel with a three-position angle adjustment, a slightly lower pedal height that produces a more comfortable riding position, and an easy step-through frame. And that doesn't even account for all the essentials, which range from 16 resistance levels to handlebars with an integrated heart rate monitor built into the grip.

The handiest feature, however, is unquestionably the anatomically designed recumbent seat, which not only offers a dual-position lumbar support for added comfort, but also a micro-adjustable fore/aft seat slider that accommodate a variety of body types and sizes. Other details include six preset programs (calorie goal, BMI measurement, recovery test, results mode, quick start, and manual mode), 10 profile courses, and transport wheels that both protect your floors and make the bike easy to store.



Track your time, interval time, RPM, watts, distance, pulse, speed, calories, and resistance on the 230's LCD console.

About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.

The term recumbent literally means 'lying down.' Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike

I went online and looked at consumer reviews of several exercise bikes. The Schwinn 230 reviewers were largely highly positive to laudatory. The one theme that stood out in my mind after reading all reviews was -- "solid machine; excellent value for the money."

I bought the machine "sight unseen" a month ago. I can honestly state that it indeed is a "solid machine" and "excellent value for the money." [One thing I did not know beforehand -- Schwinn is a product made by Nautilus, the famous exercise equipment maker that's been around for ages.] I like it very very much and hop on about 3-4 times a week for a 30-minute workout. The rest of the family does too.

One other important observation -- I have never, repeat never, in all my years come across a product with such crystal clear assembly instructions and logical parts and tools arrangement in labeled packaging. Someone has given a lot of thought to making the process as friendly and foul-proof as possible. I put this together, leisurely, within an hour whilst watching TV on the side.

I highly recommend it, especially to those with bad backs, those who are bothered by the up-and-down motion of elipticals, or those who can't risk damage to the knees by treadmills.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - * not here yet! ...
Today is November 25th. I purchased this bike on October 24th. It is not here yet. I have traced item's delivery. It is sitting about 40 miles from my home. I have contacted Amazon 4 days ago and have had no response from them. They want me to review the product??



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - * close to perfect ...
Works very well, but seat adjustment spacing could be better. Spacing and ease are both frustrating.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - * A great vailue ...
My first use of a recumbent exercise bike was in a hotel. It was a Nautilus and I was so impressed I thought I would buy one for home. However, when I started to research the Nautilus bikes I just couldn't justify the $1000+ price. Finally I broke down and purchased the Schwinn 230 as it seemed to offer enough of what I was looking for and at a great price.

When I received the bike (faster then expected) I was amazed at how simple assembly was. All tools were provided and the instructions were simple. The bike is stable and quiet and joy to use.

The biggest surprise in all off this? The Schwinn 230 is made by Nautilus!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - * Schwinn Recumbant ...
Overall this is a great bike. It is smooth, comfortable, and has many different degrees of difficulty which match differences between my wife and I. Also, the programs that come with the bike are varied and fun to use. The pulse moniter works great and is easy, just hang onto the grip. My only complaints are minor. One, it takes well over an hour to assemble. Two the screen is mounted high which makes it difficult to watch TV while riding. I have to look to one side to view the TV aroung the monitor.

The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds that his ability to run fast takes him places. As an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as a soldier in Vietnam he's a war hero; and as a world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard Nixon. Becoming a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for the love of his life, who takes a quite different and much sadder path in life. The visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming soul who savors the most from his life and times. --Robert Lane

Gina Prince-Bythewood, a former college athlete, puts a spin on this one-on-one tale of Love and Basketball. Sanaa Lathan (The Best Man) is the fiercely driven, hot-tempered Monica, a tomboy who gives her all for basketball. Omar Epps (The Mod Squad) is Quincy, an NBA player's son who has pro dreams of his own. Next-door neighbors since first grade, they start as rivals (she flabbergasts the boy by outplaying him in a game of driveway pickup) and age into best friends and lovers. The romantic complications follow a familiar game plan, but the film throws a fascinating spotlight onto the contrast between men's and women's basketball. While Quincy plays college ball on huge courts to cheering, sold-out crowds, we see Monica's sweat, tears, and sheer physical dedication in front of tiny audiences in small gyms and second-rate auditoriums.

The story is pointedly set in the late 1980s, years before the establishment of the WNBA, so Monica's prospects for pro ball lie exclusively in Europe, while Quincy steps into the pros at home. It's a pleasure to see a character as passionate and fully developed as Monica, and Lathan gives a fiery portrayal (she had never played ball before the film, but you'd never tell from her performance). Prince-Bythewood favors her struggle over Quincy's and opens our eyes to her unique challenges with a sharp, savvy contrast. Alfre Woodard costars as Monica's harping mom (always trying to get her to be more ladylike) and Dennis Haysbert is Quincy's philandering father. Hoops fan Spike Lee produced. --Sean Axmaker

The Omron HJ-112 Pocket Pedometer is an advanced, high-tech pedometer that--thanks to unique dual sensor technology--can be carried in your pocket or bag. Now you can just drop your pedometer in your purse to find out how much exercise you get in a typical day of work, errands, and other tasks. Of course, you can also attach it to your belt like a traditional pedometer.



A large, easy-to-read display helps you keep tabs on your workout. View larger.
The HJ-112 accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes. You can also use it to measure calorie consumption during your workout, as well as the distance you've traveled.

The device's large, easy-to-read LCD display can separately display aerobic steps and minutes walked more than 10 minutes continuously, so you always have the information you need right in front of you. Meanwhile, a seven day history lets you review a full week of exercise. The device also resets at midnight automatically so it's ready to go every morning. Of course, the device can also function as a handy and highly accurate clock. It also comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap so it's always close at hand.

The HJ-112 is powered by a replaceable lithium battery (CR2032) that will last six months when used for walking 10,000 steps a day. The device measures approximately 2.8 x 2.1 x .6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1.1 ounces (not including battery).
