We are so luckly that Barack Obama cares enough about this country to run for President. After reading this book it is easy to see why he is so popular today. To me, his message is simple. America should be the envy of the world and lead by example. It's time to practice what we preach.

Loved the first two records but even 'Because Of the Times' was beginning to show signs of 'rockstars for Pepsi' tendencies (as Bill Hicks would have put it).

I'm one of those Metallica fans who digs segments of Load. Everyone knows St. Anger bit the big one. The band had six years to "make up" for Load/ReLoad and wound up releasing a disc full of half-baked songs, sloppy production, lousy singing, weird drum sounds and, of course, no feckin' solos. Five

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.

Ideal Home Machine!
10/1/2008
My husband and I were looking for an inexpensive elliptical machine so we could both work out without spending tons of money on a gym membership we wouldn't use. After going to different stores and trying all their machines, we settled on this one.

Assembly:It took us a leisurely 3 hrs, with breaks and watching a football game, to assemble this machine. Everything was clearly labeled and the provided tools were adequate. Directions were clear and logical, parts clearly labeled and wonderfully packaged. We had to take it out of the box to put it in our car, but everything survived just fine.

Use:We love the way that this machine has a stride that doesn't incorporate lots of height. It's a wonderfully smooth lateral motion which we both appreciate. The different workout programs are wonderful, and although the onboard fan doesn't do a whole lot, we're not counting that against it. After some initial squeaks and creaks, we loosened one or two bolts a hair and the machine has been running whisper-quiet ever since. My two cats, who are very sound-sensitive, will curl up right next to the machine while we use it. In an apartment complex, silence was important so our neighbors wouldn't complain; if our cats aren't bothered, our neighbors won't even know we're working out if we use it at 3 in the morning!

Size/Stability: My husband is 6', I'm 5'8" so this machine fits wonderfully. It doesn't take up a lot of space in our bedroom, and for our small apartment that's crucial for us. Even on soft carpet, it only lightly sways when one is running on high speed; it's not noticeable to the user at all. It's so quiet that I'm able to watch tv or use my ipod, and not damage my ears or bother the neighbors by having to turn the volume up super-high.

All in all, we have been extremely impressed with this machine in terms of assembly, price, and performance. Even the machines I've used in gyms weren't as smooth and as comfortable a stride as this one, and we both consider it a very good investment.

Wonderful and stable piece of equiptment
9/28/2008
I read probably 100 reviews before purchasing an elliptical machine. I went to a variety of stores to try out various models and manufacturers. I finally decided on this model based solely on reviews and the price. I quickly learned that if you bought too cheap of a model the quality really suffered. On the other hand, it was also easy to over pay. This is a great easy to use piece of equipment. It did take me several hours to put together by myself, but it was well worth it. When I first started using the machine there was a loud squeaking noise. I listened and determined the location. It was the bar that both arms are connected to. I tried tightening it, but the squeak persisted. The second time I loosened it and the squeak has not returned! So the lesson leaned from that is that after putting it together you may need to tweak some of the screws. I've owned this for several weeks now and use it almost every other day.

Love the elliptical but the shipping was quite the ordeal
9/11/2008
I'm loving my Schwinn 431 Elliptical Trainer and using it almost every day.

The shipping was a nightmare though since about 2 1/2 weeks after the time I was told it would arrive, a Bow Flex arrived instead. Then it was a major hassle trying to reach the right people in Amazon to get the problem resolved since the shipping company claimed it was Amazon's fault. Once I reached the right folks, they started a new shipment. In the meantime, the shipping company called and told me they found my elliptical and said it was their fault. I'm thinking Amazon should go with a different company for the shipments on the product.

LOVE this elliptical! Easy to put together, Great price!
8/26/2008
Wow, Thanks to all the reviewers before me I was able to put this together in a flash. Once together, I had a squeak almost instantly but, again from the reviews, I knew that I had to loosen some of the bolts that I had made too tight! Thats all it was!! I have used it twice daily so far (1 week) and still no squeaks or problems. Thanks Schwinn!!

Originally, I had wanted a Life Fitness but couldn't bring myself to spending over 3,000.00 on an elliptical while I still have my health club membership. So, I went to the local sporting goods stores, fitness stores and anywhere else they sold ellipticals to try other brands. I was quite surprised and very pleased with the Schwinn 431.

Then, time for research, I check the web for all comments, reviews, etc. and found this one to be well liked for the money.

Next step, price comparison! Wow, Amazon.com had a deal I couldn't pass up! Free Shipping, AND an additional 100.00 Off the price. I ordered immediately and within a week I was working out at home! Thanks for the Great Deal Amazon!

So, if your looking for an afforadable, sturdy and easy to put together elliptical ....... look no farther .......... The Schwinn 431 is the one for you! (I can't believe I sound like a commercial :)

Of course, I'll continue using this and give you a review in a few months to see if my opinion has changed.

Good luck shopping and have a great day!!

my elliptical doesn't "thunk" anymore
8/25/2008

We ordered our Schwinn 431 Elliptical trainer at the end of January,'08.
My husband assembled the trainer and despite lubricating, adjusting
and fiddling with screws, it still made an annoying clunk/thunk sound
on the downstroke of the left pedal.

Contacted Nautilus/Schwinn and after eight weeks they finally sent
a repair tech out to our house. Inside the flywheel were defective/worn
bearings. The machine was new so unsure how worn bearings were
put there in the first place. This particular elliptical slipped through
quality control in their Chinese Factory as someone used old parts to
assemble the flywheel.

The sound is now gone(and believe me it was SO loud). Nice and quiet,
and a very smooth machine. Love it. We were just unfortunate to have
received a defective one, but the company did stand behind their product.
