Schwinn has not only been behind elliptical
machines but its models are associated with treadmills, various exercise bikes
and other fitness equipment.
With the Schwinn 420 you will get 12 pre programmed exercises that are generous enough to provide all the training possible. Other than that you get 16 levels of resistance which upon proper adjustment can make the exercise very strenuous for you if you so wish. The
Schwinn 420 also allows you to cycle backwards, if you have ever used any elliptical machine you will realise that such a motion will greatly strengthen your calves.
One thing that I did not like about is that the stride length is not adjustable and is kept fixed at 18 inches. While this may do ok for lot of people what about the persons who are taller. Remember that the length of the stride depends on the height.
So people who are tall/people with a longer stride may not enjoy this machine as they would feel that their motions are being constricted.
Second thing is that the incline cannot be adjusted. While the incline does not play a very big role in determining exercise difficulty the lower muscle groups could have been targeted with more incline.
There is heart pulse scanner which you can touch and it will tell you the pulse. It comes with a magazine rack and a holder to place the water bottle.
The LCD displays various values like the RPM,watts,distance,speed etc but is not backlit.
