A Schwinn exercise bike is expected to be both durable and effective in burning calories. This is all due to the people behind Schwinn using their expertise in exercise machinery and setting the bar quite high. This same level of quality can be anticipated from one of this company's exercise bike model, the Schwinn 220 bike.

The features of the Schwinn 220 bike are as follows. First, it has 16 levels of resistance that one can choose from. It has 12 different programs that one can choose from as well, and one has the ability to customize a program. For those closely monitoring their workout, this Schwinn exercise bike has a heart rate monitor that will read your heart rate through the bike's grip system. It also has a display that will give you the distance, time, resistance and calories burned as you pedal continuously. Aside from these features, the bike also has a book rack, a port where you can insert your music in and speakers that will keep you entertained as you are spinning. If one plans to watch TV while on this stationary bike, that will not be a problem thanks to the machine's noiseless resistance which utilizes a magnetic Eddy Current Brake, also known as ECB.

One of the things that make people hesitate in buying exercise machines is the hard assembly process. Usually, stationary bikes are very difficult to assemble and you will need some prior knowledge of machine assembly to complete the build with no problems. The good thing with this bike is that as long as one studies the assembly manual beforehand, identifies the parts to be used and as long as one familiarizes on the assembly process before starting, this will not be a problem at all. The makers at Schwinn have even made assembly easier by making sure all of the tools you need to set up this machine are inside the manufacturer's box.

The usual problem that buyers of this exercise bike encounter is that they hear a clunky sound when using the bike for almost a year. This is resolved simply by using a wrench and tightening the pedals on the bike or by tightening the seat on its base. Some buyers on the other hand, complain about the very far handle that cannot be reached while cycling. The fact is, these are not a handle bars to be used when pedalling, these are handles that assist the biker when he or she is standing up.

As a summary, the Schwinn 220 is a well-made stationary bike that is chock-full of great features, simple to assemble and durable even after prolonged use. Coupled with its state of the art design, this machine allows for a very comfortable exercise experience.

Definitely a stationary bike for consideration, this Schwinn exercise bike is a great steal at its retail price of $330.00. And at no additional cost, the Schwinn 220 bike also comes with a 5 year warranty for its frame.
