About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. 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. Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

This machine was the best health purchase in a long time. I am really happy with this. My husband and I put it together. It definitely takes two people and a couple of hours. The tool kit it comes with is complete so you really don't need anything else to put it together. The guide was self explanitory and easy to follow. Its sturdy and great because my husband is a bigger guy and he can use it without squeaking and without feeling like he is going to break it. He also has bad knees and doesn't find that this has any impact on them at all. He's really into using it and it will save us a lot of money in a gym memberships. By using this machine everyday it could easily pay for itself in a couple of years, in place of going to the gym, and its so much easier to use at home. The style and color of the Schwinn is really nice and a great addition to any home. It isn't super huge so it isn't a bulky piece of equipment taking up a lot of space. But its also not in the class of $2000 pieces of gym equipment. But like I said, it is still a great machine for the price we paid.

We love our Schwinn 420 Elliptical! For the money it is excellent. Better than other brands at the same price. It's heavy duty, smooth and quiet. Would have appreciated better user instructions for programming it, but we figured it out eventually.
