Bowflex TreadClimber TC10

Bowflex TreadClimber TC10 Review

Bowflex TreadClimber TC10 Feature

• Maximum speed: 4 mph
• 4 display screens for optimal workout tracking
• G.O. CoachTM technology = weekly workout goal
• Stores and tracks 1 user
• Great compact design that fits easily in any home

Restore and boost your energy while sculpting your abs and legs with the TreadClimber TC10, Bowflex's most affordable powered TreadClimber.

The Bowflex dual treadle system.

The TC10 delivers an impressively low-impact workout that's easy on your joints. As a result, your "perceived exertion" is incredibly low. That means you'll burn more calories on a TreadClimber than you would with other cardio machines, but won't feel as tired when you're done. You'll get the effects--and the results--without feeling the fatigue. A University of Wisconsin study indicates that TreadClimber technology lets you burn up to 3.5 times the calories in the same amount of time as with other cardio machines.

The TC10 burns up to 3.5x more calories in the same amount of time as other cardio machines.

The secret to the TreadClimber TC10 is Bowflex's unique dual treadle system, which offers the benefits of three machines in one. In Action 1, the TC10 performs like a treadmill, with belts that move as you walk forward. In Action 2, the TC10 mimics a stair climber, with two independent treadles that move up and down. When you combine these actions, you get the third machine: an elliptical trainer that provides a smooth, low-impact motion. Cardio training on the TreadClimber TC10 not only helps you lose weight, but it also increases your energy level, improves your bone density, increases HDLs (the "good" cholesterol), reduces back pain, and makes you leaner.

The TreadClimber TC10 comes equipped with an easy-to-read display that monitors your speed, distance, time, and calories. The machine also offers a G.O. Coach console, which tracks the weekly progress of a single user toward a 90-minute goal (the target goal resets weekly). Other features include an instant Quick Start feature, an ergonomic console that provides easy access to water bottles and magazines, a speed range of 0.5 to 4 miles per hour, a rear step platform, transport wheels for easy mobility, and a Bowflex body weight loss plan.

The TreadClimber is also available in entry-level TC5 and top-end TC20 models.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

SpiraFlex Plates
The patented SpiraFlex plates of the Bowflex Revolution home gym enable smooth, consistent resistance through the entire range of motion, a principal ingredient in developing lean, strong muscle. The versatility of these lightweight interlocking plates allows you to quickly and easily adjust resistance weight on the Bowflex Revolution home gym from 10 to 300 pounds (up to 600 pounds with the leg press station) for a quiet, gym-quality workout at home. SpiraFlex technology duplicates the benefits of free weights and plate-loaded machines to deliver the smoothest, most versatile at-home workout available.

Freedom Arms
The unique variable independent pulleys, or Freedom Arms, of the Bowflex Revolution home gym adjusts 170° with 10 different settings so you can quickly and easily change the direction of resistance and work upper-body muscles from a variety of angles. This versatility enables you to get a complete, gym-quality workout every time, varying your routine as often as desired to accommodate your developing fitness level. Finally, because of the SpiraFlex technology, every exercise with the Freedom Arms delivers ultra-smooth, consistent resistance through the entire range of motion--an important ingredient in building lean, strong muscle.

Lightweight plates.

Cam design delivers consistent linear resistance throughout the entire range of motion.

Smoothness
The Bowflex Revolution home gym delivers smooth yet strong gym-quality resistance that remains consistent through each exercise. The secret is the cutting-edge SpiraFlex resistance technology. Developed for use on the International Space Station, SpiraFlex resistance provides even, consistent linear resistance necessary for building and maintaining lean, strong muscle. Lean muscle is the most efficient fat burner in the body.

Gone are the bulky, cumbersome weights common in many home gyms. SpiraFlex resistance achieves its signature smoothness in part due to the heavy-gauge elastic straps powering its lightweight SpiraFlex plates. As an exercise is initiated, the plate's bands tighten around a central pivot coil, creating resistance.

The Bowflex Revolution home gym incorporates this revolutionary resistance technology with the geometrically designed cam to deliver linear, consistent resistance through the entire range of motion. By combining the Bowflex Revolution home gym's patented Freedom Arms with SpiraFlex technology, the Bowflex Revolution home gym provides incredibly smooth movement through each exercise, no matter the weight.
