Bowflex treadclimber... good or bad???



Recommended Posts

I have always wondered about this piece of equipment...if it is wortht the cost and storage demands and how well it works for weight loss. I live within a few miles from a gym I get to use for FREE but I feel like I would use something at home more than actually having to parade myself in front of other fit people to get exercise. Was wondering if there are any who own it and how satisfied with the treadclimber they are????

I used to own a smoothy bar in a gym and I worked out on the treadclimber everyday. I loved it, it was my favorite piece of equipment. A lot of gyms stopped having them because they broke down a lot and are expensive to fix. But if you had one at home I think it would last a long time because there aren't 30 people a day on it, just you. You burn twice the calories and it isn't any harder than a treadmill which I can't do cuz I get bored on one. Hope that helps.

I used to use one years ago at a gym and LOVED IT!! My husband and I were just talking about them and thinking about seeing about purchasing one for the basement!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
