How would you like to enjoy the advantages of both a treadmill and a stair climber in one?  Your aerobic activity and your resistance training are covered by one beautiful piece of exercise equipment, the Bowflex Treadclimber.  You may have already heard something about this machine, but let's look at it in depth a bit and see if perhaps you won't agree that a tread climber is possibly the ultimate workout machine for you, regardless of your physical fitness level.

First off, keep in mind that unlike a regular treadmill, the Bowflex Treadclimber is low impact.  The incline of the climber means that you're not jarring the joints of your ankles or banging your knees as you walk uphill, the way you do on a treadmill.  Many who walk on a regular basis, especially those that are carrying a few extra pounds, often suffer from arthritis in their knees, ankles, hips, and elsewhere due to the jarring they experience when walking.

Most people will quit exercising when there is pain involved, especially in the knees and back areas.  The term No Pain, No Gain, is a find mantra for the professional athlete but for those of us that just want to get into better shape, nothing will turn us off faster than persistent pain.  Having the best home gym in the world will not do you any good if you do not use it.

A Bowflex Tread Climber means that you have virtually no impact, which means less pain and less chance of an injury, something worth considering for those that are a bit overweight.  This extra weight means more pressure on those joints especially when physically active, even something as simple and natural as walking.  It also means that you can exercise longer because of less pain involved when working out which translates to more calories burned.

Another great aspect of the Bowflex Treadclimber is that the incline provides resistance training, which means increased muscle tone.  The more toned your muscles, the more calories you'll burn even when at rest.  Your metabolism goes up and stays up when using the tread climber on a regular basis, as you're not only walking but you're going uphill as well.  It provides more resistance than an elliptical but without the impact of a treadmill.  This translates into a more efficient workout routine; you're burning more calories during this routine than when just walking or using an elliptical.

The Bowflex Treadclimber is perfect for anyone regardless of their fitness levels.  If you're just starting out and need a lighter workout you can decrease your incline level so it's closer to the natural walking motion, which is easier for someone overweight.  For those who are more advanced and more physically fit, you can increase the incline which also increases the resistance and this gives you a better workout.  An additional benefit is its compact design which makes it a perfect addition to any home fitness equipment collection.  Rather than have a treadmill in one corner of your bedroom and an elliptical machine in the other, the Bowflex Tread Climber does the work of both machines in a compact and upright design.

If you're serious about your health and your weight, it's time to step up your workout routine and get away from the treadmill which typically isn't challenging enough to make a difference in your fitness level, and which is tough on your knees, ankles, and other joints as well.  The Bowflex Treadclimber is the ultimate piece of workout equipment for anyone.

Understanding Sports Nutrition Basics
By: David Cowley | 08/08/2008 | Fitness
One of the most important aspects of sports nutrition basics has to do with the amount of water and hydration you get when you're active. Most people are dehydrated no matter how active or inactive they are, because today we rely on sugary sodas and coffee for our beverages rather than water.
