Schwinn 213 Recumbent Exercise Bike For Lung And Leg Strengthening Exercises

According to reviews, the Schwinn 213 Recumbent Exercise Bike volunteers to be your training partner if you don’t want to opt for strength training with something like a Weider or Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym. This is pure cardio conditioning in as comfortable a position as you can imagine. Time to finish that juicy novel… (Note that this cycle has now been replaced with the Schwinn 231 Recumbent Exercise Bike).

While a Bowflex or Weider home gym may offer more in terms of fast-paced muscle development, the 16 resistance levels facilitate leg toning and strengthening exercises. You can also combat the almost inevitable boredom of repetitive aerobic training. How? Tap into the 11 different workouts in the repertoire of the 213 Schwinn Recumbent Exercise Bike.

Feedback Fun

If you are famished for feedback about your condition and your progress, you can dine on a dishy display from the backlit LCD computer. Get your fill of details about your time, RPM’s, distance, calories burned, resistance level, pulse, speed and more.

Weight Capacity

The maximum user weight of the Schwinn 213 Recumbent Exercise Bike is 300 pounds. However, as with all fitness equipment, be on the safe side. If your weight is around 300 pounds, rather choose a model with a higher upper limit.

Program Parameters

You can have loads of fitness fun as you track your progress through the different programs. These include a fitness test, quick start workout, a time trial with pacer, a calorie goal program, three heart rate workouts and two custom user-defined options.

Heart Rate Monitor

The recumbent-style handlebars come with integrated handgrip sensors to keep track of your pulse rate.

Warranty

You get 10 years of coverage on the frame, while the mechanical and electrical sides are covered for a year. The warranty on wear items is just 6 months and labor is covered for 90 days. Check the operating manual for details about replacement parts and general trouble shooting. The book also has details about the programs.

Frame And General Feel

Your backside will be quite happy nestled in the Bio-Fit Comfort wide seat. The seat comes with a dual-position lumbar support back, as well as side bolsters. Also included is a workout fan to help you to retain that cool cat image while training.

The reading rack is just right for the novel you have been trying to finish – where can you get a better excuse for some undisturbed reading time… Also provided are water bottle holders within easy reach.

The wide Bio-Fit foot pedals are comfortable to use. When you are done with your Schwinn 213 bike workout, you can easily move the cycle to a storage area with the help of the transport wheels and integrated seat rail transport handles.

The dimensions of the Schwinn 213 Recumbent Exercise Bike is 58″ (L) x 26″ (W) x 52″ (H) and it weighs around 108 pounds.

That covers the basic features. Exercise bikes, recumbent or upright, remain as popular as folding treadmills. This is in spite of innovative home gym equipment developments such as elliptical trainers. The demand has to do with familiarity and the fact that there is no learning curve before you can get going with a workout.

As with the Schwinn SRB-1700 Recumbent Exercise Bike, a cycle such as the Schwinn 213 Recumbent Exercise Bike doesn’t take up that much space and it is suitable for folks of all fitness levels.
