The Schwinn recumbent exercise bike you get could be something you would possible use and maybe even on a regular basis. After all hard and regular use of any exercise machine is the only reason it ever does any good after all. The Schwinn recumbents including the 230, 240 and Active 20 series are all moderate priced bikes long on features and short on disadvantages. Read on for more...

The recumbent design sells for one main reason and that's the comfort features. Upright bikes on the other hand work for many people but are just a pain for many people just the same. The recumbent spreads your weight over a larger saddle with the weight more or less evenly distributed. Uprights put all the pressure on a relatively small area and right over the pelvis at that. A recumbent bike often has a more comfortable saddle that centers the rider in a more reclining posture. Schwinn bikes all feature comfortable seats. The designs use low frames so most anybody fits the bike. To pedal in comfort means that you can spend more time in the saddle which translates to more gains in fitness and loss of fat or weight. 

Let's face it. Get a solid, fun to ride machine and you spend more time exercising and less time coming up with excuses. Especially with a home based exercise machine, you also get convenience and comfort. It's much easier to work in workouts if the equipment is right there and not a pain to use. Using it may be painful, but it's a pain that produces results not the pain of aggravation and frustration.

One consideration with any of these bikes is size. All the recumbents do take up more room than uprights and look out if that's a factor. Because of the footprint, likely more recumbents get moved into and out of a storage location. That means ease of use and ease of moving are factors to look at when looking at a bike. In most cases the more popular models put a premium on easy transport. It not owner reviews will point it out and show you the way.

Recumbent bikes do offer comfort. Key to that are the riding position and then the seat itself. Schwinn uses large seats with support to fit just about anybody. They also build in adjustments too so the seat moves into the right place for the rider. Getting a bike known for comfort really counts. Schwinn makes several models of recumbent bikes including the 220,230,240 and the Active series. Models differ in electronics, computer power and in size and especially weight. The more expensive models, like the 230 and 240, add features and weight. But in every case, the Schwinn reputation combines features with moderate price.

Schwinn recumbent bikes provide plenty of value in mid-priced machines. Not the cheapest or most expensive bikes, these are high quality with lots of powerful electronics and features. Burn fat in comfort and fight boredom while you ride...
