Bowflex’s Treadclimber TC5000

Choosing between 12 different resistance levels on the Bowflex TC5000 Treadclimber allows me to truly get a great cardio and lower body workout that even the most serious athlete would find challenging. The TC 5000 is a low impact machine engineered to burn fat without pounding your joints, and currently Amazon is offering a $100.00 savings on this machine. After a workout that has not left you with much time, those familiar words come to mind, “Fast Food”, but when trying to lose weight , not all fast food is created equal.

Many fast food restaurants now serve low calorie fruit or vegetable salads. Drink water with your meal instead of carbonated, high sugar drinks. Have a grilled chicken breast sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes and mustard instead of mayonnaise. Have a chicken taco with salsa instead of cheese and have your sandwiches on whole grain rolls whenever possible. No matter where you eat, always make healthy choices.


Bowflex Treadclimber

With all the aerobic training machines around, the Bowflex Treadclimber offers you a multiple combination workout on just one machine. If you like jogging, it gives you a dual treadle system with rolling platforms that act as a treadmill. Want to have the effect of the climbing of a stairstepper, all you have to do is adjust the pads so they lift up as you walk forward and it will create a smoother motion with less impact then a traditional stairclimber.

The separate feet on the treadclimber are much like an elliptical machine, but the feet are free and not held into a foot pad so the motion feels more natural. I was quite amazed to find out that in 22 separate trials the Bowlex Treadclimber burned up 2 times more calories in 30 minutes then a treadmill and doing this with a very low impact workout. It’s hard to beat the treadclimber when it comes to getting the results you want in the shortest amount of time.
