Bowflex Tread Climber

Tell me, are you tired of the same thing day in and day out? If so then you haven't heard about the Bowflex Tread climber, which helps you on your way to a healthy life. While using the machine you will lose weight and improve your health. Unlike the normal gym treadmills you often find this one adds a natural step-like motion to your movement. This new piece of sporting equipment combines the same motions of a stair stepper and a treadmill. The tread climber combines both resistance training and cardiovascular exercise, so obviously you will realize this machine is better than a treadmill, because of the fact it does more for you

You may be wondering how does the Bowflex tread climber do what it does? Well it is not that complicated. There are 2 platforms independent from each other that raise and lower. The process is much like striding up a slope; as one foot goes down the other comes up and so forth. In all honesty, it's like a 'stepper', but most gym goers see it as more of an elliptical machine. An elliptical machine is one in which you strap your feet to pedals and the movement is a bit odd. Using the tread climber you have free movement with your feet, so the sense of being strapped in is not there and you feel as though you are actually walking up a slope.

There is one drawback many discover with the Bowflex Tread Climber is that you need to stop it, and get off the machine to actually change the resistance, unlike a treadmill in which you press a button or use a switch to change something. However that minor detail alone doesn't prevent the millions of dedicated gym users from using it. The amount of calories you can use compare to using an ordinary treadmill is very impressive In a half hour session an average of 321 calories is used whereas the average for a treadmill is less than 240. A lot of people that were used to power walking and using treadmills, have switched to the tread climber and have noted a marked difference in resistance and results within a few weeks.
