I have, in my possession, one of the most complete home gym’s on the market. This machine covers all the bases. From the beginner-looking to lose a little weight or tone those problem areas, to the bodybuilder-looking to build and define every muscle, everyone can use this machine.
The machine itself consists of a padded bench and the "power rod" system. The patented "power rod" system is different than anything else that I’ve seen. I don’t know exactly what the "power rods" are made of, but they do the job. When the "power rods" are hooked up to the pulley system the fun begins.
My machine provides from 5 pounds of resistance up to 210 pounds of resistance. There are over 60 exercises that can be done on this machine, which work just about every area of the body.
The incline position is used for exercises such as bench press, chest fly, abdominal crunches, and tricep press. (I don’t care much for the ab exercises on this machine because of the strain on the elbows).
From the flat position you can do a multitude of exercises such as lying shoulder pullover, lying bicep curl, several different types of stationary rowing exercises, and almost any of the seated or prone exercises.
Next there is the sliding position. The main part of the bench is removed, leaving a free-sliding seat. With this seating position you can do aerobic rowing for the aerobic part of your workout. You also use this positions for some of your leg exercises such as the leg press, calf raise and the very effective leg curls.
The book that comes with the machine is wonderful. I wish I could show a picture of mine It’s almost worn out and the cover is missing. This is an essential part of the workout. The book shows all the positions for the workouts and gives a detailed description of the proper way to perform them. It also gives several pages of complete workout routines that you can choose from depending upon your workout goals. If that isn’t enough it also provides a program called "FAST FAT LOSS NOW! The Bowflex Body Leanness Program" by Dr Ellington Darden. This program is wonderful. It provides you with a workout routine and diet plan. It is very easy to follow and does provide results. I used the program after last Christmas and lost 15 pounds.
The Bowflex is a very important fixture in my house. The most important thing that I can say about this machine is that it does provide results. It is not a miracle machine, you have to use it for it to work. If it sits in the corner of the room as a coat rack ( I’ve been guilty of this) it doesn’t do you much good. Like any exercise program it requires commitment. This is not a cheap product, which in it’s own way is a good motivator. It is, however, cheaper than a gym membership in the long run. I’ve had mine for a couple of years now and it is in great shape even after over 100 hours of use.
If you have the opportunity to see a Bowflex in person don’t be afraid to try it. I highly recommend it. I’m about due for a workout now. See you later.
