A lot of adults remember riding their Schwinn endlessly when they were a child. All that riding was good for them, too, burning up all those calories. But now that they're all grown up, they lack the time to ride for enjoyment or for health concerns. Schwinn has a solution that gives them something they can feel good about with the Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer.
The Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer is a medium level elliptical machine that can give anyone the ability to get in shape when they have some down time at home. A few minutes here, a few minutes there can really add up to strengthening muscles and losing weight. It's also a great for relieving stress.
Released between the 430 and 460 models, the Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer is a great solution for finding the middle of the road with features that won't break their budget. This solidly constructed machine can handle up 300 pounds, which is sufficient for most people who are overweight.
The BioFit console design has a place for an MP3 portable media player that's built right in. When you are working up a good sweat, your towel is conveniently within reach at the attached towel hook. As you ride this trainer, you'll no doubt enjoy the oversized cushioned footplates and the convenient fan to cool you down. Thirsty? No problem because the cup holder will be holding your favorite beverage. It even accepts oversized bottles. No more interruptions to keep you hydrated.
Monitor your progress during your workout with the easy-on-the-eye blue backlit LCD display can show you your BMI, recovery mode and results model. The onboard computer enables you to make your own personal profile by entering your personal statistics. This serves to measure your progress. The programs that are included will help you monitor all the calories you'll be burning while working out. Maintaining a healthy heart rate is convenient thanks to the included monitor. You can even have your friend or spouse create their own profile to monitor their progress.
Have you ever gone to the gym and heard other machines making those annoying squeaky, wobbly sounds? That won't be a problem with the Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer. It's designed for rock-solid steadiness thanks to the oversized stabilizer tubes and the linkage system that keeps things comfortable and smooth with every stroke.
The manufacturer's warranty gives you 15 years of protection on the frame itself, followed by 2 years on the electronic components.
