Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer - Low-Impact Cardio Dream Machine

By Jennifer Testolini

Have you ever wished you could stay in the comfort of your own home and still get a great workout? Keep warm and dry on those cold or rainy days and never miss out on your exercise again. How? With the Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer!

The Schwinn 430 makes use of wonderful technology that easily allows you to receive a low-impact cardiovascular workout that won't stress sensitive joints, especially the knees. It is designed to be space efficient and capable of benefitting people of all fitness levels.

Along with the luxury of not having to leave your house to exercise, the Schwinn 430 has a lot of other features also. There are three different feedback displays, a heart rate monitor on the handlebars, eight different workout programs and levels of resistance, a magazine rack and also a water bottle holder.

The list of pros for the Schwinn 430 could go on and on. One lovely detail is that it is not only cheaper than a lot of exercise machines out there, but is also smaller! It is very well-built and certain to endure countless years of regular use.

If in the past loud machines were a concern, worry no more! The ECB system of the Schwinn 430 enables you to not disturb a soul while you exercise. Whether someone is asleep or working in quiet, they will not be bothered by your workout.

Just a couple negative things to point out are that for one, you must self-assemble the machine. For the average person, it might take a little extra time to put it together firmly. Also, although it is easy on your knees, the foot plates tend to be a little forceful on your feet.

Also, a squeaking noise has said to possibly develop after a short period of use, but is easily fixed with a small amount of lubricant. And lastly, some people may find that the display screen is hard to read, normally in the dark, because there is no backlight. - 15995
