The Bowflex TC5000 is a highly effective workout option, offering great fat burning benefits in a reduced amount of time. Before proceeding with the review, lets briefly review our basics: What exactly are treadclimbers, and how do they work?
Treadclimber Basics
- Treadclimbers are hybrids between stair climbers and treadmills.
- A treadclimber has 2 treadmill belts, one for each foot, which move up and down
with each step you take. So with each step forward, you also have to step up.
- This increases the level of exertion - as compared to working out on a regular treadmill for the same amount of time.
- Another advantage treadclimbers offer is a low impact workout, due to the vertical motion of the treadmill belts, which absorbs a large part of the landing shock with each step.
Below is a discussion of the most important features of the Bowflex Treadclimber 5000 - including strengths, drawbacks, specifications and best price available.
