The Schwinn 460 elliptical trainer offers a great cardiovascular workout that will help you burn calories.  It features V-stride technology that boasts an easy and smooth stride length variation from 2 to 26 inches with no need for manual adjustments or machine modifications.  This variable stride feature offers a total lower body workout.  It is integrated in the cam/footplate where you can opt for a walk, step, or run that would target different muscle groups.  You can choose STEP to work on your calves and quads, WALK to work on your glutes and thighs, or RUN to work on all muscle groups by lengthening your stride.  This basically involves changing the pressure you exert on the foot pedals.  The more pressure you exert, the longer your stride; and the less pressure you exert, the shorter your stride.
