Who should use the THOROTREAD®?

THOROTREAD® will challenge anyone from a deconditioned beginner to the most honed athlete

Any ambulatory person that can use a conventional forward treadmill can use the THOROTREAD®. In fact many people that like to use a conventional forward treadmill can’t nearly get the full benefit out of it because they can only walk due to the fact they have physical issues preventing them from jogging or running. Therefore, it is difficult for them to reach the level of exertion required to achieve an effective workout.

However, at very slow speeds (generally between 1 and 2 MPH) the THOROTREAD® will challenge anyone from a deconditioned beginner to the most honed athlete. This is because it is the only machine in existence that applies 3 effective forces of resistance on the user. Those are: backwards speed, grade and pulling weight. Adding this 3rd dimension of force exponentially increases the exertion, greatly decreasing the amount needed from each one to challenge the user.

These slow speeds allow the user to always keep one foot on the belt which virtually eliminates any impact.

There are several scientific explanations why the THOROTREAD® will get you into the best physical condition of your life, but if you think about it in practical terms there are only so many ways you can train your body for the way it moves every single day. The THOROTREAD® taxes your skeletal muscle structure and your cardio pulmonary system in a unique way the body is not accustom to. Therefore, it has to adapt and as it adapts it strengthens areas that were never concentrated on before. The results we are finding with our clinical trials and that you will find as a THOROTREAD® user are that your “normal” physical activities won’t be nearly as challenging as they were before. You will be stronger, faster, more agile and fit as the weak links in your body are much better conditioned.

Regardless of your age or fitness level, whether you want to lose weight, increase your athletic performance or just improve your overall health and well being, you will achieve results beyond what you thought possible using the THOROTREAD®.
