so you can start slow and work up to more advanced levels as your muscles grow stronger. The machine also allows you to set the speed. The range begins at 0.5 mph and goes up to 4.5 mph.

Make no mistake though. The Bowflex climber is a major workout. Therein lies its effectiveness. But you are afforded the luxury of beginning at a level that fits your comfort zone and gradually increasing the intensity of the workout over time. It will probably take a while to get used to it.

Swimsuit season is upon us, and many people are looking for a way to get in better shape fast. True fitness, however, doesn't happen overnight. It takes work and perseverance. Some people turn to exercise equipment to jump-start them on the path to fitness. Which piece of equipment is best?

There are many options to choose from. Television infomercials are rife with gimmicks promising to blast calories with no work and very little time. These products vary in quality. And as many owners of exercise equipment can attest to, they only work if they are used! You can choose from trampolines, thigh-masters, butt-masters, exercycles, home gym systems with weights, pilates balls and bands, yoga videos, ab-crunchers, and of course many different companies push fat-burning pills.

So don't set yourself up for failure by having unrealistic expectations. Expect, rather, to achieve a healthy level of physical fitness, not necessarily to be a swimsuit model or Olympic athlete. Being more realistic from the start will make it less likely that you will give up when you don't have a six-pack after one week of crunches.

There are many similarities between treadmills and elliptical machines, cross country ski exercise machines and, stair climber, etc. Like those, the Bowflex Treadclimber is also made to provide an effective cardio workout. However there are some important differences between this machine and all the others.

Because the Treadclimber is actually a treadmill, stair climber, and elliptical machine combined, you get three movements in one. So you walk forward, just as on a treadmill, while you step up, just like on a stair climber, and combine these two motions, using the machine's dual platforms that rise separately to meet each of your steps, into a smooth, low-impact motion similar to an elliptical. A more effective workout results from these combined activities. This is because your motion naturally engages your body's largest muscle groups, so you burn calories at an increased rate. This rate is about double what you would burn if you instead worked out on a treadmill at the same speed and resistance levels. So, even at lower speeds, the Treadclimber is faster at burning calories. By making more of your workout, you will have more time available for other things in your life.

With this high-intensity calorie burning comes work. Adjust the resistance level based on your current fitness level. For your convenience, the Treadclimber offers twelve different resistance levels, so you can start slow and work up to more advanced levels as your muscles grow stronger. The machine also allows you to set the speed. The range begins at 0.5 mph and goes up to 4.5 mph.

But you are afforded the luxury of beginning at a level that fits your comfort zone and gradually increasing the intensity of the workout over time. It will probably take a while to get used to it. You need to concentrate on your gait and balance before the motion will start to feel natural, and for the workout to be completely effective. It may take several exercise sessions before you gain the confidence of your gait that it no longer requires any additional thought.

It may be well worth your time to explore the possibility of using the Bowflex Treadclimber for your fitness goals. However, it's not easy, nor quick. Keep your expectations in check, commit consistent time and effort to it, and enjoy the results!
