Whether you want to wear the latest bikinis, to look great on the beach, or just feel more confident about your body, the innovative new Bowflex TreadClimber burns calories and fat twice as fast - to get the body you want in half the time.

In a recent US study* volunteers who exercised with the Bowflex TreadClimber just 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, lost up to 50 pounds of fat in just six weeks.**

The Bowflex TreadClimber works by combining the best features from the three most effective aerobic workout machines - elliptical, stairclimber and treadmill - into one ultra efficient, low impact workout - toning up your body fast and leaving you more energised.

With the Bowflex TreadClimber you walk forward on moving belts like a treadmill, but you also step up like a stairclimber - combine these two actions and you get an intense workout with the smooth, low-impact motion of an elliptical.

The TreadClimber’s unique technology not only gives you the power to bring up your heart rate fast - and keep it there, but also to burn calories faster and more efficiently, work more muscle groups at the same time - and minimising impact on the joints - while giving you slimmer hips, a firmer bottom, tighter thighs and a flatter, sexier stomach.

*Tests conducted by Adelphi University, New York.

** Tests using volunteers. Individual results may vary.

In clinical tests at New York’s Adelphi University, the Human Performance Laboratory discovered that it takes over twice as long to burn the same amount of calories on a treadmill than on a TreadClimber - at comparable speeds and intensity levels.

The Adephi study found that using the same pace, you would actually have to workout on a treadmill for an hour and 17 minutes to burn the same number of calories as you would in just 30 minutes on a TreadClimber.

With a TreadClimber, you workout smarter, not harder, to achieve faster results within a shorter exercise time - and in perfect time for the beach.

Two Bowflex TreadClimber models are available to UK consumers - the TC 3000 and TC 5000 – and measuring just 116cmLx72cmWx140cmH in size, the TreadClimber is much smaller than a traditional treadmill.

Both models provide 12 intensity settings to tailor your workout to your fitness and comfort level - from beginner to professional athlete - and speed adjustments from 1.1 to 6.4 km - from a gentle stroll to power-walking - and come with the ‘Bowflex Energy Balance’ programme and a comprehensive owner’s manual.

The TC 5000 is also compatible with a heart rate monitor, so you can check every vital aspect of your workout and stay within your optimal fat-burning zone, while a climb indicator displays every 100 feet of elevation gain.
