Our Family Bowflex Extreme SE

When our Bowflex Extreme SE arrived, we were in awe. It had everything, the power resistant rods, the Lateral bar, and my favorite, the leg extension.
We have had very good results. My husband and our three boys love it because it strengthens their endurance since they play full court basketball. I like it for those trouble areas. I must admit, that I was at first intimidated by its sheer power, and its design. Like with anything new, you have to come out of your comfort zone, and try it. It is an extremely versatile machine. The Bowflex Extreme SE boasts 65 different types of exercises that one can perform on it. However, I use it for those troubling areas, my midriff, arms, and thighs.
By increasing the resistance bands, you can build muscle, but if you just want to tone, the bands are adjustable. Since we have five different individuals using the machines at varying times, it is essential that we each can adjust it to fit our need. The adjustable seat is quite handy, as we are all of varying heights.
If anyone is considering purchasing one, it is a good investment, and in time, it will pay for itself. A plus to consider, you do not have to leave the house to go exercise.
