Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.
The Schwinn® 431 elliptical features a compact design, perfect for your home. It's made with a built-in 3-speed adjustable fan, iPod®/MP3 player holder, removable water bottle holder, and towel hook, so your comfort will not be compromised. The computer-controlled drive system provides high inertia for smooth strides, and the 19 different workout programs make reaching your fitness goals a reality.

About Exercise Bikes

They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
The ProForm® 280 CSX upright bike has all the basics you need for an effective cardio workout. The EKG™ heart rate monitor gives you accurate pulse readings while you exercise, and digital magnetic resistance gives you full control over your workout intensity. 8 workout programs and a target pacer coach will help you get in shape in no time.

About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.
The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
The Stamina InTone Folding Cycle Pro gives you a low impact cardio workout yet fits almost any workout area. The InTone Folding Cycle Pro puts you in a semi-reclined position to tone your hips, thighs, and buttocks while you get a great low impact cardiovascular workout to increase your metabolism and burn calories and fat more efficiently.

Proform 290 CSR Recumbent Bike Review
It's the built-in sound system and iFit compatibility that really distinguish the 290 CSR, however. The sound system includes an Interplay music port that lets you plug your iPod or MP3 player into the console, along with an Intermix Acoustics 2.0 sound system. The system produces a broad range of frequencies and rich, equalized sound. The bike's iFit workout card technology, meanwhile, helps you lose weight, feel great, and improve performance in just eight weeks. Each card (sold separately) is designed by a certified personal trainer and plugs directly into the bike's console, where it automatically adjusts your resistance while the voice of Jillian Michaels, "America's toughest trainer," coaches you through each workout.
Comfort-wise, the 290 CSR boasts a recumbent-style frame that's easier to get on and off than a traditional bike. Other features include 16 digital resistance levels; dual-grip EKG heart rate monitors built into the handlebars; an adjustable, oversized seat with a lumbar support; a Grafixx touch dial and touchscreen display that tracks your time, distance, calories, and pulse; and a 300-pound capacity. The 290 CSR is protected by a five-year warranty on the frame and a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
About ProForm
When most people hear the name ProForm, they automatically think of treadmills. That's because in its early days ProForm revolutionized the treadmill industry with its now-world-famous SpaceSaver foldaway design. ProForm continues its tradition of quality and innovation today, with cutting-edge advances in cushioning, electronics, and reliability. Fortunately, ProForm wasn't satisfied with treadmills, unveiling a complete line of exercise bikes, elliptical machines, weight benches, and more--all geared to providing the most effective workout available.
