I recently purchased a used Bowflex and I am wondering if anyone can point me to workouts that I could be doing. I’m a tall woman, 30 years old, BMI is normal, but need to work on getting back muscle tone and a tighter figure. My middle area holds my extra weight. Links to websites with photos are even better, but general lists of workout exercises are great too. THANKS!!
In general, women do the same exercises as men. Unless you are taking testosterone injections or are unusually butch, you won’t have to worry about looking pumped up, no matter how many exercises you do.

You may want to start out slowly with the larger muscles groups (lat pulldown, chest fly, leg press, abs crunch), paying attention to form and do some cardio to improve your general fitness before starting on the smaller muscle groups. Doing cardio in conjunction with your abdominal exercises is essential for eliminating your middle section jello shakey shakey.

Your Bowflex manual should have a list of specific exercises your machine can do. If you don’t have the manual it should be on the website.

Later that day …

The Bowflex website lists specific exercises. Do them all. Haha!
