Key-Principles for Enjoying the Best Results

Principle 1 - You CAN do it

    Does working out seem intimidating? Wondering if you "have what it takes"? You do! Any healthy person can get in shape.

    Once you get started, you'll discover exercise will become a simple and natural part of your life. In fact, after a while, NOT working out will feel strange.

Principle 2 - The Turtle Wins the Race & Get's In Shape

    Would you like to know one of the biggest secrets to getting, and staying in shape?

      "It is better to do a little consistently, than try to do too much, and do it inconsistently"

    Example 1 (inconsistent workout)

      Monday - 60 minute workout
      Tuesday - 75 minute workout
      Thursday - skipped workout (too tired)
      Friday - 55 minute workout
      Monday - 40 minute workout (getting sick of working out)
      Tuesday - skipped workout (too tired)
      Thursday - 30 minute workout (only did half)
      Friday - quit working out

    Example 2 (consistent workout)

      Monday - 25 minute workout
      Tuesday - 25 minute workout
      Thursday - 25 minute workout
      Friday - 25 minute workout
      Monday - 25 minute workout
      Tuesday - 25 minute workout
      ...

    Which workout do you feel will be successful?

    Which workout would you rather do - 25 minutes or 60 plus?

Principle 3 - Variety = Motivation = Results

    Have you ever experienced this?

      You start a new workout (or workout machine) and it feels GREAT. You can’t wait to workout, and even better, you're making progress!

      Fast forward 4-6 weeks. Your workout has become “work”. You have to talk yourself into doing your workout, and even worse, your progress has slowed down.

    What happened? Your body adapted to the exercise. It’s called the “Law of Adaptation”. As time goes on your body becomes more and more efficient at doing your workout. As it becomes more efficient, it burns fewer calories and releases less growth hormones.

    Would you like a simple solution? Change your Bowflex workout once a month (including your Bowflex exercises). This will both re-energize your mind and your body.

    To help, we created the “Bowflex Workout of the Month’ and also the “Bowflex Exercise of the Month”. To receive our FREE workouts, simply subscribe to our RSS feed. For info about RSS, please click here






The Bowflex Workout

What you will need:

  • A Bowflex home gym

  • A note book

  • A stop watch or timer

Workout Emphasis

    Getting in shape

Workout Frequency

    3-4 times a week

Number of Repetitions

    14 repetitions (30 for abdominal exercises)

The Bowflex Exercises

  • Chest - bench press = 14 repetitions

  • Back - seated back rows = 14 repetitions

  • Biceps - standing biceps curls = 14 repetitions

  • Calves - seat calf raises = 14 repetitions

  • Shoulders - seated should presses = 14 repetitions

  • Triceps - lying triceps presses = 14 repetitions

  • Thighs - squats = 14 repetitions (you can substitute leg presses for squats if you find squats to be too difficult)

  • Abdominals - resisted crunches = 30 repetitions

How to Perform

    1. Select a weight that will be challenging to do 14 repetitions with.

      Tip - Not sure what amount of power rod resistance to use?

      For smaller muscles (biceps, triceps, etc.) try 10Ibs (per cable). For larger muscles (chest, back, thighs, etc.) try 20Ibs (per cable).

    2. Do 14 repetitions (30 for abdominals) and rest 1:30 seconds between Bowflex exercises. Use the 1:30 seconds to get your Bowflex home gym ready for your next exercise.

    3. Record how many repetitions you did for each Bowflex exercise along with the amount of power rod resistance used. Once you can do 14 repetitions, add 5Ibs of weight (per cable).

    4. Perform this Bowflex routine for 4-6 weeks.
