There is probably a Schwinn exercise bike that you will enjoy using. Exercise bikes have been used for years while other exercise machine have come and gone. People buy exercise bikes because they work.

Why do they work?

1. Exercise bikes help you strengthen the major muscle groups in your hips and legs.
2. Exercise with a bike is low impact and easy on joints.
3. Work your cardiovascular system any time day or night, summer or winter.
4. Using an exercise bike is safe. You can do it at home and there's little chance of falling or injury of any kind.
5. With many bikes you can read or listen to music or even watch TV while you pedal.

Schwinn bikes are noted for value. They don't make extremely expensive bikes. Many Schwinn bikes are mid-price bikes that have the most wanted features combined with quality construction and design.

Here are three examples of different types of Schwinn bikes and a model of each type.

Upright Exercise Bike

The Schwinn 131 Upright Exercise bike is selected by many. The upright bike is configured much like a regular bicycle. These bikes have a small footprint and are relatively inexpensive and easy to store. You can get a magnetic drive systems and plenty of programming options. Some people find the design more uncomfortable than other designs.

Recumbent Exercise Bike

The Schwinn 230 Recumbent Exercise Bike is a mid-price machine that has many of the features of much more expensive machines. You get magnetic resistance which can be varied from nearly nothing to very difficult to pedal. Plus you get several built-in programs to keep your workouts interesting.

The pedaling position is more comfortable to many than the upright bike's plus the seat is extra comfortable. Pedaling is almost silent so it's easy to listen to music or watch TV or even read a book.

Dual Action

The Schwinn Airdyne is unique because the resistance to pedaling is produced by turning a fan. Also handles are attached to the pedal cranks so you can pump the fan with your arms as well as your legs. These bikes have been made for years with few changes because they work so well. Plus they're rugged enough that many gyms and rehab clinics still use them.

You can choose a Schwinn exercise bike that is affordable plus has the quality to be fun to use and still work for a long time.
