Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainers | Discounts on
My father is in his 70s and has begun to slow down with age, and one of the great pleasures that he always enjoyed was that of riding his bike or walking. As a youngster, he grew up in Minnesota and was at home in the outdoors no matter what the season or weather. My family decided that he would enjoy having a lightweight exercise machine and we chose the Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainer. In fact, the prime consideration in our choice was the light weight of this model and how easily it could be moved about.

We took the box to the garage when it arrived, and had a great time putting our surprise together. We wanted to have it ready to use when Dad got up in the morning. Having the opportunity to connect the parts also gave us all a closer look at how the Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainer was manufactured. My brother pointed out to us features that he liked including the oversize flywheel. He even made sure that we knew the smooth and trouble free movement comes from the magnetic resistance and Eddy Brake system that are at the core of these Schwinn products.
Well, you know that we had to be the first ones to hop on and try the Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainer for ourselves , and I was delighted to discover that it behaved just like the larger elliptical models. The LCD screen gives a readout showing what the program and how well you are doing. The handlebars move rhythmically for an upper body workout, and even the stride length is a perfect length of 18 inches, and very comfortable. I like to move my feet around on the pads, and even then, the gliding mechanism never faltered or skipped. There are 8 levels of resistance included for different workout intensities, which is another added feature.
Our dad’s physician lives next door and we even asked him to inspect our purchase and give his opinion. He quickly proclaimed the Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainer to be a good choice for our father. He pointed out that this type of low impact exercise is perfect for older individuals or others with joint concerns. Our dad has some mild arthritis, and this exercise product will help him stay active without adding the stress of high impact activity. Another impressive bonus is the pulse monitor that is integrated into the handgrips. This gives an easy way of checking the heart rate at any time during a workout program.
The morning when our dad found our gift was certainly one of the best days of our lives, and his grin lit up the room. This trainer can deliver the cardiovascular routine that keeps a heart strong heart and gives a fun workout at the same time. Dad was thrilled to discover there were so many different workout programs and insisted that we all try out the fitness test routine before we left. Both our mom and dad have promised to work out daily and we are absolutely delighted to know that the Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainer will keep them healthy and active.
