Introduction
The Smooth V350 is an indoor cycling/upright exercise bike which specializes in muscle endurance and strength training.
The trainer does not feature too many extras, though the LCD display and eight workout programs will keep you focused and motivated.
Workout Programs
The Smooth V350 exercise bike offers a selection of eight different pre-defined options.
The workout selection is not great, but unlike other types of fitness equipment (treadmills and ellipticals, for example) having a ton of workout programs on an exercise bike is not quite as important.
Unfortunately, the Smooth V350 does not provide any type of method for getting a heart rate reading (which helps you stay within a target zone for maximum results).
Keep in mind, though, that based on the price of the Smooth V350 some sacrifices had to be made on specs.
