Explaining to a visiting friend how it works, he couldn\'t understand how it adjusts to your stride without some sort of adjustment to the machine, so I simply stepped on and showed him. It\'s truly that simple, you stride longer and the elliptical keeps up, shorten your stride and it adjusts.

Schwinn 460 Variable Stride Elliptical Trainer Best Review
I read the reviews about this elliptical here as well as other sites. I will say that I was almost scared off by some of things that the detractors were saying. I 'll definitely say having a Schwinn Rep cruising the amazon boards and providing info and commenting on feedback made the difference. I hope and pray nothing goes wrong with my 460, but if it does I've been given the confidence that if I can't fix it, Schwinn will. I received this machine today and assembly went pretty smooth except for one or two rough spots in fitting some of front supports together with the bottom brace of the console because of the alignment of the holes plus the powdercoating.(It might pay to have a rat tail file handy just to take some of the powder coating off the inside edges of the holes if need be). The rest came together like a dream and only took about 85 minutes. I agree with the poster that said to use your own tools.Once I got it together, it ran pretty quietly and feels really solid. To my surprise, I didn't experience any wobble or feelings of instability at all.. which I was almost certain I would after looking at the narrow footprint of the 460's tail end. I'm fairly heavy and was able to stride with my arms swinging (as if I were jogging)and never felt the unit rock or tip or even rumble. I'm no elliptical specialist nor am I a gym rat, so I don't know what the units in the gyms are like... so I don't really have background to agree or disagree with the users that complain that they're not getting a workout. I felt a burn in my quads after being on the 460 for about 10 minutes.
The one thing I did notice about this unit is, that with the variable stride, its up to you to control the machine and not let it control you. If you want a bigger stride, you have to make one then get and keep your rhythm going (the swinging handles will help you a lot in this respect and keep the motion from getting jerky). If you don't consciously make an effort for a larger stride, you'll wind up not feeling anything and you'll look down to find yourself doing a tiny stride at double or triple the pace, out of desperation.
My 80 yr old grandmother was able to get on it (with a little help and support from me-- The unit is a little tall) and was able to get a little stride going without my assistance. I'm pretty happy with this purchase. I'll wait 3 weeks and see if I hear that squeak from the right side that people have been talking about...
