The astronauts working on the International Space Station now have a new zero-G Bowflex, with its requisite bad-ass acronym name: aRED, or Advanced Resistance Exercise Device. Wired took a look at how it works.

Treadclimber TC 1000


Following is a review of Treadclimber TC1000. It's based on its use by three different people (for three different reasons), here are the Pro's and Con's:

Pros:
* Provides a great workout
* Compact; fits well in my office
* Very sturdy
* Create piece of equipment for exercise variety (it's a treadmill + Stair master)

Cons:
* A little loud --especially in the office, where I need to listen for phone calls.
* Manual incline adjustment (would be great to be able to adjust the incline at the end of a session)
