    In the beginning, while I became accustomed to the BowFlex TreadClimber TC3000, I had been working out on my BowFlex TreadClimber on just the treadmill (no incline, walking flat at 2.5 mph) to build up my endurance and intensity / skill level.

    I am now stepped up my intensity on my Cardio workout. I am just beginning my MFP journey.

    My current workout on my BowFlex TreadClimber TC3000, I burn 284 Calories in a 10 minute session.
    I try to do at least 2-3 sessions per day, to get a total workout of 30 minutes per day.

    I have a BowFlex TreadClimber TC3000, I have set the Treadles intensity setting at "5" on the dials
    on top of each hydraulic cylinder.
    I have my personal settings at starting at 2.5 mph increasing to 3.0 mph / intensity level "5" which is
    the step height setting to the same value "5" that I set on top of each hydraulic cylinders.

    My panel says that i burned 160 calories/ 10 minutes vs. what my "HRM" states of 284 calories for a 10 minute workout.

    There are so many Factors; age, weight, height, variables and settings and levels.
    That it is a personal customized as far as how much you really do burn on a Cardio workout on a BowFlex TreadClimber TC3000. Everyone ones workout and caloric burn will be different.

    I hope that helps give you some idea as to how much that you can burn on a BowFlex TreadClimber TC3000.

    Stay encourage and steadfast!

    My best suggestion would be for you the get a heart rate monitor (with a chest strap). You enter your own personal data (height, weight age etc) and you'll get a much more accurate indication of the calories expended. (A Polar FT4 or similar is pretty affordable and will probably suit your needs perfectly)

    we have one at the gym..but yes it does say how much im burning by the set levels..but isn't it different for a 180lb woman and a 240lb woman to treadclimb for 10 minutes? I think the 240 lb burns more than a 180lb

    I'm puzzled by the calorie burn counts on my treadclimber. For example I worked out for 55 minutes with speed of 3.9 for 2 miles and last mile between. 3.3 to 3.5. 3. Treadclimber said burned. Over 600 calories, but mt HRM said I only burned 413. I go by my HRM. I am 63 yrs old.
    Unsure why such a difference. My heart rate agrees between the HRM and treadclimber. Also I set the level at 12 on an average.
