Product Description
Elliptical trainers provide an effective cardiovascular workout that combines upper and lower body flexibility and coordination into one impact-free motion. By emulating the natural motion of your foot while supporting your heel throughout the stride, elliptical trainers are much easier on your knees and joints. In addition to feeling more natural while working out, regular use on ellipticals will increase heart and lung capacity while improving your health (and burning calories at the same time). In addition to accommodating a wide variety of users with its lengthened 18 inch/46 centimeter stride, the Schwinn 418 Elliptical Trainer also incorporates an articulating footplate, which follows the natural motion of your foot and supports your heel throughout the entire stride motion.
Additional features of Schwinn's 418 Elliptical Trainer include a grip heart-rate monitoring and a high-inertia drive system using an oversized flywheel and Poly V-belt. The quiet magnetic resistance Eddy Current Brake provides a smooth ride. The more than ten workout programs include: rolling, valley, fat burn, ramp, plateau, intervals, mountain, heart rate, and manual mode.

About Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

This review is from: Schwinn 418 Elliptical (2005 Model) (Sports)
I bought this elliptical to work off the baby weight I gained after the birth of my son. I tried a gym membership first, but who wants to waste time at a gym when I've got my new pride and joy at home? Consumer Reports recommended the elliptical as a best buy, so I decided to give it a try. First, it comes unassebled. The directions are a bit scanty, but easy to figure out. I was able to put 95% of it together by myself while my son slept in about 2.5 hours. I did need a bit of hubby brawn for the last couple of steps. All in all, it looked fantastic put together. Advice: don't rush putting the parts together. The brawn part involved the sheet metal screws and the glider covers. As for the ride...Fantastic! It is sooooo quiet. I can excercise at night when the little one is sleeping without a sound heard in the room next door... and I can hear his baby monitor without difficulty. Sometimes I exercise with the baby looking on in his intelletrainer. We exercise together, grooving to ABC's. All in all, a great purchase!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Schwinn 418 Elliptical (2005 Model) (Sports)
I checked around for elliptical trainers before I bought this from Amazon. It was difficult to know what to believe. I found the Schwinn in four different places, and based on the positive reviews and the purchase price, I decided to go for it. I'm glad I did. Size wise and noise wise, the Schwinn is pretty compact and very quiet, compared to some that my friends have purchased. I've also found it very sturdy, although I'm not a really large person. Amazon's vendor used a superlative local shipper to get my order to me on time, with little fuss and muss, and in good shape. It was challenging to put together (I had help!) but worth it. The settings and features are professional, and while I haven't explored all of the 10+ workout programs, I think I bought a winner!

Look out god bod 2005,
I purchased this machine at costco ($699), thinkling it wouldn't be as good as the precor at the gym, but it would have to do as my scheule for working out is never the same.
I absolutely love it. It's a real heavy box ( nearly 200 lbs) so you may want a friend around to help move the bloody thing. It requires assembly. My 14 year old daughter put it together so I imagine most people will manage. This is just as nice and effective as the precor we used at the gym; we have it at home in the living room as a reminder to take 30 minutes, watch a sit come and get our work out done. The stride is nice ( even for people with longer legs) and the programs have a variety of workouts for all levels of fitness. I would definately recommend this machine to anyone who is in love with the much more costly precor machine- or for anyone who wants to burn burn burn those calories
