If there ever was an exercise bike that was considered a classic, it would be the Schwinn Airdyne Upright Exercise Bike. This bike has been made and sold since the 1970’s and introduced the fan resistance exercise. This concept is unique but simple, when you pedal the bike it turns a large fan and the faster you pedal, the faster the fan turns and the harder it is to turn, because the resistance increases as you pedal faster. The handle bars are linked to the pedals so the handlebars move as you pedal.
You have a choice, you can pedal just with your arms, or just with your legs, or with your arms and legs together. When you push the handlebars and the pedals, you get a total workout, because the handlebars can engage your entire upper body for a vigorous workout and your lower body is worked on by the foot pedals. If you want a workout for your heart and lungs along with a muscle workout this is the machine for you.
