Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape at the same time with the compact, comfortable Schwinn 131 upright exercise bike. The 131 boasts a full complement of workout programs, with eight preset courses (calorie goal, time trial, fitness test, BMI measurement, recovery test, results mode, quick start, and manual mode), 10 profile courses, and 16 resistance levels. The backlit LCD computer display, meanwhile, shows all the relevant workout statistics, including time, interval time, RPM, watts, distance, pulse, speed, calories, and resistance.

Riders will love the variety of comfort features, which range from wide Schwinn Bio-Fit pedals to a Bio-Fit Comfort saddle with a micro-adjustable fore/aft seat slider. Other features include adjustable handlebars with integrated heart-rate grip sensors, an adjustable fan that cools the user during the workout, and bottom transport wheels that both protect your floors and make the bike easy to store.

About 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. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

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.

Product Description

Boasting a smooth, ultra-quiet magnetic resistance system and a tough tubular steel frame that holds up to use and abuse, the bike is a great choice for beginners and intermediate riders who want to work themselves into shape. The bike also offers eight resistance levels that are manually controlled using a straightforward hand dial, along with secure foot straps attached to the pedals for stability. And thanks to the large, easy-to-read electronic monitor–which gauges your workout time, speed, distance, and calories burned–it’s a breeze to design a custom workout for your fitness level. Other details include an adjustable frame for users with different heights, a comfortable step-through recumbent design, and a maximum weight limit of 250 pounds.
