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.

Product Reviews

(4 stars) - Good variable stride
I purchased the Nordic Track 990 from Sears and loved it, but my husband was too tall for it. After alot of research, we discovered that we needed a variable stride machine. I had to return the Nordic Track. My husband is 5'11" and I'm 5'5". The Schwinn 460 was the best value for under $1,000. It's a very well built, sturdy piece of equipment. The only problem I have is that it takes up alot of room and I can't move it by myself. I've been working out on it for a few months now and it gives me a good workout. I wish I could have tried it out a store, but it's only available online. Amazon has the best value.

(4 stars) - great elliptical for your money
This is a great machine. I have been working out at a club for three years. Switching from a professional elliptical to a store brand was a very difficult decision. I did a lot of research on ellipticals. I was happy with the free delivery and how quickly it got here. It took my husband several hours to put it together. He sent me out shopping while he put it together. The directions indicated you need two people to put it together but he managed to do it by himself.(I think he said a few bad words). The machine has some challenging work outs,and I am satisfied that I got a good work out when I am done. I also like the motivational sayings. There is an annoying squeak that needs to be looked at. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this product anyone that would like to work out in their home. I will mention that I don't think this product would be good for a big person. My husband who is twice my size would need a heavier machine if he wanted to work out.

(5 stars) - Excellent Elliptical Machine !!!
On Sep 28, 2009, after careful thought and consideration of other machines/brands that I have seen at sporting good stores, fitness centers and studied via the web online, I went ahead and made the purchase for the Schwinn 460 Variable Stride Elliptical Trainer. What sold me was the many positive reviews, the variable stride feature, the 2"-26" stride capability, price and reputation. This is a very well constructed and well thought out, engineered machine. I am a 45 year old male, in excellent physical fitness, weigh 155 lbs. @ 5' 8". Recently I have been having pain in my hips from street running. Not wanting to hinder my fitness routine, I decided that an elliptical machine may be the remedy. I received my Amazon order via lift truck and had it placed in my garage. The machine is WELL packed in its box. In fact, it took nearly 30 minuets to unpack it as the machine is very well protected inside. I brought the pieces inside one by one which was not much of a hassle as each piece was light enough to carry with the exception of the body. My daughter, 5'2" 95 lbs was able to help me lift one end of it to get it in. The instructions were very easy to read and understand. With the exception of needing a 17mm socket and ratchet, you will not need any other tools. It took me 1 1/2 hour to get this machine fired up (it may take others longer who are not as equipped mechanically). Oh boy, was I pleased. After 4 days of using this machine, I am soooo happy that I made this choice. My hip pain has subsided and I am loving this new fitness machine. The LED touch screen display rocks and the programming is top notch. My daughter who attends a major university said that this machine is better than the elliptical machines they have in their fitness centers on campus! I highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about an elliptical and cannot make up their minds. This is a great machine and an excellent buy! BTW: Schwinn Fitness is a brand of Nautilus who's other brands include Bowflex, Stairmaster and others!

(5 stars) - Well built machine
This is my second elliptical machine. I basically wore out a standard pro-form elliptical machine and researched many of the new machines on the market. This Schwinn 460 with the variable stride looked to be one of the best. After purchasing and receiving the package.Which is over 200 lbs. Assembly was straightforward and only took about an hour. I am a technician by trade so it may have been easier for me than for some. I have been using the machine for about two weeks now and I am impressed by how well built it is. The variable stride feature adapts to your individual stride length automatically. My wife and I both are using it and would recommend this machine to anyone. It keeps track of two individuals workout history and has different workout programs to keep it interesting. All around a good machine and worth the price.

(5 stars) - Schwinn 460 elliptical
So far this product has met or exceeded my expectation. Item arrived intact, no damage. Instructions made it easy to assemble. Took about two hours. Using the elliptical it works as described as well as the electronics. It seems to have been well built and I anticipate getting several years of use from it.
