There's loads of great stuff out there to enhance your physical and spiritual health. Every two weeks, All Spirit Fitness brings you something we've found useful. Sometimes it's a brand new fitness tool, sometimes it's an everyday item that you can find at the store. Whatever it is, rest assured that if it's on this page, we think it's great!

It's a treadmill! It's a stairclimber! It's... it's... sort of an Elliptical? It's none of these — it's Super Cardio Machine! The TreadClimber gives you a cardio experience unlike any other machine you'll find at home or at the health club. You don't run on it, but it makes you sweat. It's like a good power walk, but it's easier — way easier — on your joints. And stepping out on the TreadClimber is far more interesting than plodding along on your typical treadmill or stairclimber. That's because the TreadClimber has two treads, one for each foot, instead of one wide belt, and these treads move according to your gait. The great thing about this is that it forces your to even out your steps and correct some bad habits you may have developed while walking or running elsewhere. In addition, the movement of the two treads — a very natural vertical-horizontal design — is also easy on your knees. And the TreadClimber has you walking on an angle, all the better to work your legs and glutes and burn calories (as many as 348 calories an hour).

While the TreadClimber is pricier than a lot of treadmills, it's worth every penny, especially if you've grown bored of treadmill exercise. If you're looking for something that's low-impact but that can still give your muscles and metabolism a burn, the TreadClimber could very well be the machine you've been looking for.
