Home gym equipment has become very popular these days. Many people want the ability to get a solid workout, without having an extra monthly expense of a gym membership. Homeowners have decided to take a room in their home and turn it into a home gym. By doing this, you can save time and money. Once you have decided to dedicate a room of your home to your fitness, you have the very important decision of what type of fitness equipment you should purchase.
One of the most popular types of full body workout machines is the Schwinn recumbent bike. With this machine you can work out your lower body, upper body, and even your abs in one exercise. Schwinn has developed different models depending on the features you are looking for. Here is a review of a couple of those models:
Schwinn Active 20
This Schwinn recumbent bike is perfect for someone looking to set up their first home gym. This bike comes with 8 resistance levels and 6 different exercises programs. It weighs approximately 60 pounds and can absorb a weight limit of 275 pounds. Due to its light weight, this model is ideal for older individuals who will need to move the equipment around.
The Active 20 features a reading rack which provides hands-free reading while you work out, a water bottle holder, a fan, and transport wheels to make moving your bike done with ease. Because this is one of the lower level models produced by Schwinn, the warranty on the Active 20 isn't as long compared to other models. There is a 2 year warranty on the frame, and a 6 month warranty on parts and electronics. Overall, this is a great beginner's model for any home gym.
