Schwinn 420 Elliptical Trainer (2012 Model) by Schwinn 
Schwinn Elliptical Machines are designed to deliver a comfortable workout and maximum results. With easy to use features, simple assembly, and a unique console designed for a customized workout program, the award-winning Schwinn 420 Model is no exception. As an added bonus, the Schwinn 420 is a more affordable than most ellipticals with the same or comparable features.
Features that distinguish the Schwinn 420 include BioFit comfort design for a more natural elliptical path with multiple position handles that provide the option of engaging or resting the upper body. The bi-directional pedals can be moved forward or backwards to engage more muscles in the legs as you exercise. Meanwhile, the perimeter weighted flywheel delivers smooth, consistent workouts and the over-sized stabilizers and levelers provide a solid workout platform, even on uneven floor surfaces.
Thanks to an integrated heart rate monitor you can maximize your workout and stay within your appropriate training zone. Meanwhile the multi-function computer provides eight workout programs, six course programs, and a custom workout option allowing for a highly varied and individualized program. Finally, built in speakers keep your music flowing.
