Schwinn 140 Upright Review

The Schwinn 140 upright is the higher end model in the Schwinn 2011 product line. The Schwinn 140 offers all of the latest stationary bike technology from Schwinn along with Schwinn quality and warranties. The Schwinn 140 is built well and has more features than the Schwinn 120 for slightly higher price (usually about $50)

The quiet magnetic ECB resistance (Eddy current brake) system, Multi-Color Backlit LCD, oversized seat and pedals, telemetry and contact heart rate monitors and compact size are just a few of the features that make this 2011 upright an excellent choice at a great price

One of the features that I particularly like (and that is often overlooked) is that the Schwinn 140 is powered by an AC power adapter and not just by batteries. If you are going to be using your bike enough to get some a real benefit from it, then the AC power supply is an important feature.

Upright exercise bikes are more similar to traditional bikes, give you a very good low impact, aerobic workout, are more compact and more affordable than most other aerobic home fitness equipment.

Schwinn 2011 Upright Exercise Bike Comparisons:

The Schwinn 140 Upright Bike has more options than the Schwinn 120 (the next model down in the Schwinn 2011 product line) and is a high quality, well built upright stationary bike. I can easily recommend the Schwinn 140 for the price, quality and warranty.

Aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular health and circulation and stationary bikes provide a safe, low impact aerobic exercise that has been used for fitness, weight loss, health and physical therapy for years.
