The grip heart rate sensors also enable you to monitor your fitness level. Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike includes integrated leveling feet to keep everything balanced and help protect your floor. Other features include a 9-position padded saddle and transport wheels for easy storage after your workout.
I've had Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike for about three weeks and I really like it. The bike is sturdy and assembly is easy. There are six preset hill programs to choose from, or you can use one of the six manually levels. Instructions and use of the computer are easy as well. One of the things I like about this bike is the fitness rating option, using the "recovery" button. It monitors your heart rate for 1 minute after you stop exercising, using the pulse sensors in the handles. It monitors the rate your heart slows then gives you a fitness rating from F1 (best) to F6 (worst). I get my heart rate up as high as I can on level 2 just before I stop exercising, and then I hit the recovery button. After exercising for three weeks I've have dropped from F5 to F4. My resting pulse rate has dropped from 80/minute to 65. I have bad knees and hips, but Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike does not aggravate them at all. If you want to strengthen and tone your legs, just put it up to level 6 and do about 20 reps. Level 6 can't be maintained for long, unless your a body builder. You may choose to get a more expensive bike, but I think Schwinn Active 20 Series Recumbent Exercise Bike will give you all you need for a good cardio workout.
