Bowflex treadclimber Review

The Bowflex TreadClimber is all the cardio machine you need.  It can be a basic treadmill (but more on that later), or it can be a stair-stepping treadmill.

The TreadClimber has a belt for each leg, and each belt is connected to the machine via an adjustable shock absorber.  This attachment allows the treads to move up and done as you walk forward.  The effect is like climbing stairs or a hill.  The workout will kick your butt.

If you don't want the stair-step mode, you can lock the treads so they become a stationary treadmill.  Except the Treadclimber treadmill has a separate tread for each leg.

Easy to use electronic controls.

Cons: 
The adjustment for the shock absorbers (that increases the workout intensity) seems pretty, well, general.  I notice increased tension, but I'd like a more precisely calibrated way to adjust the exercise level.

The machine itself is very heavy, and so, although it does have rollers on the front that allow you to move it a la wheelbarrow style, it's difficult to lift and maneuver.

Pros: 
Once you learn how to use it, it will deliver a great cardio workout.
