How to Perform

1. Select a weight that you will have to push yourself to do 14 repetitions with (30 for abdominals). Once you can do 14 repetitions, add 5Ibs to each cable. If you can do 14 repetitions easily, try adding 10Ibs. to each cable.

2. For cardio, you can use the Bowflex's rowing machine feature, or if you prefer, an exercise bike, eliptical, treadmill, etc.

(Optional) Special Technique

CAUTION - Are you just starting to workout or getting back in shape after a long lay off? Do you want the best overall results - with the least effort?

Do the above Bowflex routine 4-6 weeks before trying this Special Technique. This will enable your body to give you the best results while avoiding overtraining.
