I like to run on the treadmill, but it makes my shins ache. Would the T-Bow give me as good a workout, without the pain?

Answer.You have probably got Shin Splints, caused by too much high impact exercise or poor running technique. Doing some of your workouts on the T-Bow would be a good idea, as rocking on it counts as low impact, and your technique has to be correct, otherwise you will lose your balance!

In my opinion, 20 minutes on the T-Bow will burn as many calories as jogging, and also has the added bonus of challenging your core muscles. And you can also do upper body exercises on the T-Bow, which you can’t on a treadmill – either do arm exercises with handweights while you rock (not recommended while running on the treadmill!) or turn the T-Bow over and attach the flexibands that are included with it for toning exercises for arms, chest, back and shoulders. You can also use the bands for added resistance during squats and lunges for great leg and butt toning.

And at under $200, the T-Bow is a lot cheaper than a treadmill – and far more versatile. And it fits away easily into a closet as well!
