Tristar Air Climber Review |

Introduction There are many great products out there and the Tristar Air Climber claims to be one of them. This is that same product that you’ve likely seen on television with the person bobbing up and down on two steps that are pneumatically powered by air being sucked into the steps and then released from them as your foot goes up and down respectively. It is an interesting system with many characteristics worth noting closer and our review below will help you decide if this is a product worth purchasing.
Lower impact with air powerIf there was one huge advantage to the Tristar Air Climber, it would be the low impact that a person experiences over time when using this product. Because the steps are air powered rather than electrically powered, the motions that you make both with regard to your own body movement and contact with the steps are far more natural than they would be with a stepper or an elliptical machine. Over the course of a long period of time (which will hopefully happen if you stick to the workout), this means that your body suffers less impact per exercise and therefore is able to withstand greater physical activity. For people that have not exercised regularly in a long time, this is definitely an important bonus.
Durability is a concernWith all great advantages come great disadvantages it seems, at least with respect to many of the fitness items sold in today’s marketplace. Sure, the Air Climber will work wonders for your body’s workout routine, but it will also breakdown very easily. Durability is a very big problem with this product and even though it is protected by a warranty with replacement being a possibility, the hassle of having to replace this every few months due to air leaking out is something that could annoy people really quickly. There seems to be a law of diminishing returns with durability that seems to cancel out some of the advantage that you gain with the air power low impact workout routine.
Work your entire bodyIt is obvious that this Air Climber product would work your legs from top to bottom considering the stepping motions that you make. However, the creator of this product Brenda Dygraf has come up with a system that you can use as part of your workout to burn fat across your entire body . That is great news for people that like the low impact nature of this product because it means that you can actually use this as your main workout tool without having to worry about parts of your body not getting any attention. If intersted in focusing on just your core mid section we recommend you look at ab circle pro .
ConclusionThe Tristar Air Climber could be a great fitness device if it were not for the problem with durability. Air pumps need to be in perfect condition to maximize the impact advantage. If there is even a little leak, problems begin to occur. For that reason, you will likely want to think long and hard before purchasing this device as the durability problems for most people will be too much to simply overlook.
