Have you tried the Treadclimber? - March 11, 2008

It's not a stairclimber and it's not a treadmill - it's a treadclimber. The Bowflex TC3000 Treadclimber incorporates the best of both machines in an effective low-impact cardio workout system. There are two separate "stepmills", effectively combining the motions used on both stairclimbers and treadmills, but reducing much of the pressure on the knees and other joints. The motion may take a little getting used to, but once you figure it out, you'll be hooked. Plus the calorie-burning capabilities are Bowflex’s TC3000 affordable version of the popular TC5000 Treadclimber. The TC3000 has almost all the bells and whistles of the more expensive unit and it slightly smaller, making it all the more desirable to those who cannot devote an entire room in their home to workout equipment.
