Ideal for the home gym for fitness enthusiasts of any skill level, the Schwinn 420 provides an effective cardiovascular workout by combining upper and lower body flexibility and coordination into one impact-free motion. Elliptical trainers emulate the natural motion of your foot while supporting your heel throughout the stride, making them much easier on your knees and joints. In addition to feeling more natural while working out, regular use on elliptical trainers will increase heart and lung capacity while improving your health (and burning calories at the same time).
The Schwinn 420 offers 16 computer-controlled resistance levels and 8 programs for workout variety, including six user-profile programs, one fitness test, and one custom workout. Its quick start functions allows you to easily change your resistance level while exercising to challenge yourself to the next level.
It 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. It also includes integrated speakers and an MP3 music input port in a console that holds magazines, ebooks, or other media in multiple locations.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
The bike came in a box. Took about 3 hours to assemble although the assembly was relatively easy. Only had to disassemble a couple of parts that I did wrong. I love the bike but the manual is terrible. It tells me what is available but not how to set up the electronics. It says it has 16 programs installed but I have only found one of them. I use it in manual (Quick Start) mode and love it. It keeps up with time, distance, calories, watts (a new one on me), and speed. This is more info than I need. Oh, it gives me heart rate too when I grab the handles. I look forward to using it often.
