Walmart features pre-Black Friday deals on Schwinn exercise bikes

Exercise bikes are a great way to get high-quality cardio workouts without the damaging impact on joints from running or jogging. Stationary bikes are also a great addition to your home gym because you can use them any time, regardless of the weather outside. Many stationary bikes feature LCD screens or tracking devices that allow you to monitor your progress and, thus, set goals for yourself. Since the added excess of the holiday parties and events are right around the corner, it may not be a bad idea to add an exercise bike to your home gym. Walmart has some great deals on Schwinn exercise bikes right now, and we’ve rounded them up for you below.

Schwinn is one of the best-known names when it comes to bikes, both stationary and otherwise. The Schwinn Bicycle Company was founded in Chicago in 1895 and has been  one of the dominant bicycle companies ever since. Schwinn manufactures both recumbent and upright stationary bikes, so anyone should be able to find a Schwinn bike that fits their workout style.

Recumbent exercise bikes are easier on the lower back due to the way you sit on the bike. Upright bikes position the rider in a more hunched-over position than recumbent bikes, which are more gentle on your joints and typically have larger seats than upright bikes. Recumbent bikes are also considered safer than upright bikes because you cannot stand up on the pedals.

However, upright bikes provide a more consistent workout because you work the same muscles that you would use while riding a bike outdoors, which results in a more complete body workout, including your abdominal muscles. Upright bikes also have a smaller footprint and, thus, take up less space in your home.

nordictrack x32i treadmill review press lifestyle

If you're starting out a whole new fitness journey, it can be hard to know where to start, especially if you prefer to workout at home. Luckily, there's some great fitness equipment you can grab that will make your life easier, and at least get you to a point where you're more confident to go to the more advanced stuff. That's why we've collected some of our favorite deals below, although you could always check out these home gym deals, NordicTrack deals, and Bowflex deals for a few more options as well.
Adjustable Dumbbell 55-pound 5-In-1 Single — $150, was $200

One of the worst things about dumbbell training is having too many dumbbells. They can take over your whole gym. This deal (on a SINGLE dumbbell, so buy two!) can take the place of five dumbbells in your complete gym kit. Instead of one 55-pound dumbbell, you're getting an 11-pound dumbbell, a 22-pound dumbbell, and so on up until the 55 pounder. This is advantageous if you're just starting out with working out and don't know what weight you need to start with or if you want to do different exercises with different weights. Finally, note that the design of the adjustable dumbbell is quite safe as you can only adjust the weights (via a simple handle turning mechanism) while they are laid carefully on tray. Once they're off, the weight is "locked in" so to speak until you return them to the try. No lost toenails here!

Apple iPad Air is back down to its Black Friday price
The back of the iPad Air 5.

For those who are on the hunt for iPad deals, you probably should take advantage of Best Buy's $150 discount for the Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the fifth-generation Apple iPad Air. From its original price of $600, it's back down to $450, which is what the tablet was going for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you missed the chance to buy the device back then, you shouldn't let this opportunity slip through your fingers -- proceed with completing the transaction now while it's not yet too late.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad Air 5th Gen
The 2022 Apple iPad Air reigns over both of our lists for the best iPads and best tablets, primarily because of the power it packs for a reasonable price. You'll be able to watch streaming shows, play video games, browse the internet, and multitask between all of these apps without any issues. This is possible through Apple's M1 processor, which comes with an eight-core CPU for efficient performance, an eight-core GPU for amazing graphics, and a 16-core Neural Engine and 8GB of RAM for fast processing and rendering. The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air may be overkill for some people, but that only means you won't feel the need to make an upgrade for years to come.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S24
We’re expecting to see the Samsung Galaxy S24 take over from the S23 as the best Android phone for those looking for something a little smaller. It’s had a small increase in size meaning it now has a 6.2-inch screen but that’s all good. Said screen now has 2,600 nits of peak brightness along with variable 120Hz refresh rates that scale all the way down to 1Hz instead of 48Hz as before. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Pus now has a 6.7-inch screen with the same brightness and refresh rate but a Quad HD+ panel compared to the S24’s full HD+ resolution.
