If you want to improve the way you look there are plenty of cardio machines to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the truth is it is rare to find a machine which is easy to use and which also offers enough performance for the average user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest issue these users face is just forgetting about getting in shape in the first place. This means that small improvements in the design and good connectivity can be great additions to help delay the problem as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you`re looking for the classic treadmill, the machine can support your efforts with its versatile design. Running can represent a good workout in itself and with the added incline difficulty; you will be able to maximize your fitness efforts in a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stair climbers have also been popular at the gym. This is because they offer a low-impact approach to body toning and weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The machine is one of the recommended options for people with joints problems. If you are just starting out with fitness, you may also want to protect your knees until you lose enough weight not to put unnecessary pressure on the joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means the stair climber function of the TC100 is a good choice if you are just starting out or for the days when you have less energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The elliptical function of the machine is another great option for people with joint problems. One of the issues which can be attributed to the design of the TC100 is the lack of movable arms which would have involved the upper body in the workouts as well. But the elliptical function can still represent a good option for alternating workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the advanced features of the TC100 come with the built-in sensors. Placed in the fixed handlebars, the sensors can monitor your heart rate and push you to achieve optimum performance with every workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can track the heart-rate measurement with the LCD monitor. But the monitor can also show important workout data such as the time spent on the machine, the calories your burn and the distance you`ve covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has the ability to act as a personal trainer. The good news is that you can save this information for up to 2 users and always try and push yourself beyond your personal records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparison_TC100_vs_TF900\"><\/span>Comparison: TC100 vs. TF900<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bowflex TC100 TreadClimber performs well overall, but how does it hold up against the Exerpeutic TF900? Both machines offer similar speeds of up to 4mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of display technology, both machines perform well with LCD displays which show basic workout data. But this is where most similarities end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TC100 comes with a 3-in-1 design while the TF900 only offers the walking treadmill function. While both machines are rather made for home use, the TC100 comes with a much more advanced approach with its built-in sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart-rate sensors are specific to commercial gyms equipment and it is a perfect addition for people looking to lose weight. If you don`t have any other advanced performance indicator, these sensors can be more than enough to indicate your level of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict\"><\/span>Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bowflex TC100 TreadClimber represents a versatile solution to your fitness needs. It manages to provide various workouts with its 3-in-1 construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cardio machine is the perfect choice for home users looking to save space and improve their fitness level at the same time. While the machine doesn&#8217;t require the space of 3 cardiovascular workout alternatives, it will require proper sustained effort for real results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to see results is by using it every day, even at a lower speed. Since the top speed is limited to 4mph, you can increase difficulty by adjusting the angle of the machine to an uphill position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will require a better balance and more cardiovascular effort to sustain over a longer period of time. For the best results, you will need to keep an eye on basic performance indicators which also include calorie burn and time spend on the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you can monitor these indicators, it would be advisable to use save the results and compare your progress in time. These results can be shown for up to 2 users by the TC100 which makes it perfect for partners who need a shareable home fitness solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The machine comes with an innovative design which is covered by warranty for up to 2 years which means it is solidly built and can prove a useful tool in the long-term. With a good overall package, the TreadClimber represents a solid alternative for home workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B018846OPO\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?th=1&amp;psc=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lwrg-20&amp;linkId=16338273eb0afc88d0167471f1c7a78a&amp;language=en_US\" style=\"border-radius:5px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00TOYAJ7C?tag=lwrg-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1&quot; associate-id=&quot;lwrg-20&quot; noopener noreferrer\">See more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bowflex TC100 TreadClimber comes with an innovative design.
