I hope yours works better than mine, Mr. bunnytrdr.
Mine came with too much bow and not enough flex. FAX |

I would share some insightful information about this, but alas, you have me on ignore, so sharing valuable insightful information with you, is pointless.

BTW: I have one along with all my free weights and it works well. I would pick one off in your local paper though. People are always getting rid of them at a good guy deal after they quit using them. You should easily be able to obtain one for much less than half price.

any kind of regular training or exersize WILL give you results after a couple weeks. A Bowflex isn't any different. It's resistance training, similar to weights. It's not AS effective as weight training + knowledge, since the Bowflex exercises limit the types of movements that you can make and don't work stablizer muscles as much as free weights do. But it'll definately help to build strength and burn some calories.
On a side note, those MuscleGirl pictures have sadly done more to make girls afraid of weightlifting than anything else. With the exception of a couple of steroid enhanced American Gladiator types, those bodybuilder women are only "ripped" and musclebound for a month or so out of the year. (for competition). The rest of the year, they are about as hot as you can get. They pose for the covers and bikini sections of FLEX, and look like This: |

I had a friend that had a Bowflex and it seemed to work as a wonderful appliance to hang clothes on.

I've purchases several of those items, Mr. JimNasium. The best one was a slider/walker thing. It had long, large handles that served as excellent clothing repositories. They weren't much good for anything else, though. FAX |

I just purchased a BowFlex Ultimate but haven't had a chance to put it together yet. Go on their website and request the DVD and information. You will then get phone calls trying to get you to purchase. Eventually, about a month after I inquired, you'll get an email offering a big discount. I got $500 off the Ultimate. I checked out a bunch of consumer reviews and they seemed overwhelmingly positive prior to my purchase.

The main thing I would add is that for some people there isnt enough range of motion or enough weight resistance. For the average size person who is basically a somewhat of a beginner to weight training it would be ideal if used regularly.

http://www.t-nation.com/img/photos/0...g/image008.jpg Off season, modeling photos Jamie Eason. http://www.jamieeason.com/ Her website. If you do some searching around for her "contest" photos, she looks a bit more like the bulky grossout girls. Of course she's a lot prettier than most, but you get the idea. Unless you're going to be taking a TON of roids and you dedicate your life to lifting, there is no reason for a woman to be afraid of weights. Last edited by mcan; 07-03-2006 at 05:58 PM.. |
