Answer#1: As far as what the two units are worth, it would be a good trade.The more important question is - what will happen with the Bowflex once you get it.Are you using the weights now? Most people start out gangbusters then burn out and the gear collects dust until it gets traded for some other desire. I know that has happened in my house numerous times. Wasted money on equipment.What kind of shape is the guy in that has the bowflex. If he is not entering competitions, then I would ask why he doesn't use it or want it.Dollar for dollar, the trade is worth it. What you really need to answer is whether you will honestly use the machine long enough to get you in the shape you want to be in.The PSP takes up less space and is much easier to get rid of than a bowflex.If it were me, I wouldn't trade it. The novelty of the bowflex would not last and it would collect dust like the rest.Thanks for your time.
Answer#2: I used to work with those rubber stretch machines and they really aren't very efficient. When the rubber stretches it isn't a consistent resistance, and the bands can get stretched out. Basically it's a gimmick. I would rather lift milk cartons tied to a stick. It's cool you're thinking of trading the games for something healthier but I would consider a gym membership, or a better weight bench.
Answer#3: yes it is a great price for it reguraly cost up to $500.00 dollars get it whil it is $250.00 dollars before some one else gets it i have one in my house now for 1 year in it is a great machine to work your abs in muscle in every thing you still need to walk in eat a healty diet to
Answer#4: depends on what bowflex it is. check the model and make sure you aren't buying bowflex 1985. There are many different models. plus make sure it has all the parts. bowfex is good if you use it
Answer#5: Nay!!!Eat healthy and exercise more (walking is good).
Answer#6: If you intend to use the Bowflex, yeah... it's an amazing deal. That stuff ain't cheap.Besides, you could always sell the Bowflex for more on Craig's List or whatever and get some cash to get a new PSP if you decide it's not for you.Of note, the Bowflex is resistance training. If by getting into shape you mean to bulk up and add muscle mass, then you're fine. If you're looking for something aerobic, take a walk like the first person said.
Answer#7: Any piece of equipment is only as effective as using it.IF you will use it as prescribed, then it is well worth it
Answer#8: Good trade and you can always replace your PSP and games.
Answer#9: yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdude! its so worth it
Answer#10: noooooo!go walkin at night and stuff it helps if you eat healthy to
