The weight limit is 300 lbs. on all models. I'd really like to have one myself for weight loss purposes... but I'd have to lose about 12 pounds before I can start using it.

What features of a car reduce sliding friction?
Antilock Brake System (ABS) & tread on the tires.
How do worn tires affect braking distance?
It has long been known that a decrease in tyre tread depth can lead to the deterioration of a tyre's performance during cornering, and straight line braking in the wet. A tyre is unable to deal with the same volume of water on the road at lower tread depths, which means that the tyre is unable to transmit traction and braking forces as effectively. Previous studies had confirmed this relationship, however there was a need for independent testing to quantify the effects on typical cars found on today's roads. In 2003, the British Rubber Manufacturers Association (BRMA) commissioned MIRA to study the effects of tread depth on stopping distances. The study was carried out on MIRA's test track in Nuneaton, and 5 different tread depths were tested - 6.7mm, 4.1mm, 2.6mm, 1.6mm (the legal minimum) and 0.9mm. Vehicles were mounted with equipment to record time, speed, and distance. The tests were carried out on two different surfaces at the testing track, hot rolled asphalt and smooth concrete. In order to ensure the accuracy of the results, the tests were repeated several times. The stopping distance was recorded at each of these tread depths and the points plotted on a graph of stopping distance versus tread depth. A line was drawn through the points to show the trend between stopping distance and tread depth, from which information could be taken.
What happen when light passed through aquarium?
If you are asking about why light bends when it passes through the water and glass...For the purpose of this answer, think of light as a beam (what light actually is, is a topic of much research and questioning). Light travels through water with a different velocity than it does through air. Thus, whenever light hits water at an angle, part of the beam is slowed down by the water before the rest of the beam, so the beam curves and what you see becomes distorted.If it helps, think of a tractor with two treads. Now picture this tractor heading in a straight line at a constant velocity. Both of the treads are moving at the same speed, right?Now, imagine there is a puddle of mud up ahead. The puddle of mud is positioned such that one side of the tractor will enter it before the other. What happens when the tractor reaches the mud? One tread slows down, because it entered the mud. The other, since it is still on solid ground, keeps going at the same speed. Because of this, the tractor will turn towards the tread that hit the mud, thus altering its direction.Hope it helps.
What flaw did Einstein make in his theory of relativity?
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread... I am not about to suggest that I know a flaw in any theory, let alone those of Einstein. They don't call him an 'Einstein' for nothin'. But scientists do point out that Einstein's equations apparently break down at what we would call today a singularity. It seems too that for this and other reasons, Quantum Theory may one day supplant Relativity. It was once thought that Relativity and Quantum Theory could not co-exist; there are now some possibilities that they can be reconciled. Whether or not the theories of Relativity are proven wrong, they were central to an amazing burst of insight on the part of many great scientists in the early decades of the 20th century.
Treads on tires increase or decrease friction?
Depends on what you're thinking about. On a hard, even surface a tire w/o treads can generate more friction than a tire with treads, as it will have a bigger engaged surface area.OTOH a tire with little/no treads will be prone to hydroplaning, which is very low friction.Then if you're talking about a soft surface a smooth tire will be able to generate less friction than a treaded tire. On a soft surface the treads can bite in which offers more engagement than a smooth tire that might just slide on the top.If you were to look at the rolling resistance of the wheel as a whole, then a smooth out tire will roll lighter than a treaded tire.A big part of rolling resistance is the energy lost in deforming the tire as it rolls along. With treads you get something called tread squirm, where the different blocks and ridges of the tire tilts and wiggle around under the pressure, with each tilt and wiggle meaning that there is energy lost to the deformation of the rubber. And energy lost means increased rolling resistance.
What Cardio Equipment is best for a beginner?
The Bowflex Tread Climber would be great choice for a beginner.
What Cardio Equipment should be used by a distance runner?
The Bowflex Tread Climber would be excellent for a runner.
How much weight can you lose if you walked on a bowflex tread climber?
To lose weight, you need to diet and exercise. The amount of weight you would lose would depend on amny factors, such how how long / how instense you worked out, the calories you ate, how much you slept, and so on.
Can anyone use the Bowflex tread climber?
Yes anyone can use the Bowflex treadclimber. It is very easy to understand and you do not have to be an accomplished athlete to use this equipment. I would recommend taking it easy for the first little while you get used to the machine.
What is the difference in calories burned between a tread climber and treadmill?
A tread climber burns more but it really depends on the workout that you do. You can burn just as many calories on a treadmill as a tread climber but your going to have to work harder. If you run say, a 10 minute mile on both, the tread climber will burn more.
Will a tread climber improve my health?
The treadmill will allow you to go faster and you can increase the incline on it to have similar properties as the tread climber; however, the tread climber will give you the same results and will also be better for your joints. So yes, there are pros and cons to both pieces of equipment, but the tread climber is for you especially if you have bad knees or ankles.
What cardio exercise equipment is cost efficient?
Personally, I think that if good results can be obtained, you should be able to pay a little more. The TC5 Tread Climber from Bowflex provides great results at only $999.
Who is jd webber?
The blond woman from the Tread Climber commercials.
Where can one purchase a Bowflex XLT home gym?
Actually there seems to be a typo in the question: most probably it should read "XTL" instead of "XLT". A "Bowflex XTL" gym can be purchased from "eBay", "Craigslist" or from a local sports retailer.
Where can I buy a tread climber?
You can buy a tread climber at Wal-Mart. I see infomercials all the time, so buying one off of your TV. is not such a bad idea. I cannot sell you one if that's what you are asking.
What kind of tread is on the steps?
There is a 2 1/2 inch tread on the steps on the right up climber. This is a mandatory safety requirement.
What is a Bowflex tread climber and does it actually work?
The Bowflex Treadclimber has been seen millions of times on the television and in advertisements, but does it really work? Yes, of course it does. Any kind of work will begin burning calories and, later rather than sooner, building muscle. However, those fancy machines that cost thousands of dollars out of your precious paycheck shouldn't phase you, as a simple workout can get the same results if paired with a healthy diet and schedule.
