nice arms :) Someone help!!! lol

Question #44: I just purchased a Bowflex Sport,I want to lose at least 20 lbs and was wondering When should I use my Bowflex
I was told I should lose the weight Before because
the bowflex is to tone up your body AFTER you lose
the weight.is this true I wonder.Right know what I
am doing is a treadmill 1 mile then I go to the
bowflex for 30 minutes.I do this 2 times a day.I
just started the bowflex 3 days ago and been using
the treadmill for 4weeks.
Answer: If you wait till you lose weight then it will be
so much harder to tone up. You are to use the bow
flex before during & after the weight loss so
that you can mantain your hard work. You will have
alot of loose hanging skin if you wait till after
you lose the weight. Congratulations on getting
the bowflex & on wanting to better your health
& appearance !!!

Question #45: Bowflex workouts for Women?
I recently purchased a used Bowflex and I am
wondering if anyone can point me to workouts that
I could be doing. I'm a tall woman, 30 years old,
BMI is normal, but need to work on getting back
muscle tone and a tighter figure. My middle area
holds my extra weight. Links to websites with
photos are even better, but general lists of
workout exercises are great too. THANKS!!I'm
looking for specific exercises with reps...a full
plan please...
Answer: In general, women do the same exercises as men.
Unless you are taking testosterone injections or
are unusually butch, you won't have to worry about
looking pumped up, no matter how many exercises
you do. You may want to start out slowly with
the larger muscles groups (lat pulldown, chest
fly, leg press, abs crunch), paying attention to
form and do some cardio to improve your general
fitness before starting on the smaller muscle
groups. Doing cardio in conjunction with your
abdominal exercises is essential for eliminating
your middle section jello shakey shakey. Your
Bowflex manual should have a list of specific
exercises your machine can do. If you don't have
the manual it should be on the website.Later that
day ...The Bowflex website lists specific
exercises. Do them all. Haha!
http://www.bowflex.com/why/YStrength_Ex.aspThey
are all standard exercises any basic book will
show you how to do them, e.g. Weight Training for
Dummies.Normally you would do between 4 and 12
reps. Lower reps with high weight is better for
strength training, Higher reps with less weight
for endurance training or 8 reps if you are normal
or wishy washy.

http://www.bowflex.com/mMachineDetail.asp?produc
tID=6600014&productName=Xtreme%26%23153%3B+2&a
mp;linkID=6i've been thinking about it for
awhile(over a couple of years) and decided to take
the plunge, since i have a little extra money to
spend. i tried out my friend's bowflex last
night, and it really sealed the deal.i just
thought i'd get some other opinions on this...so,
what do you think of bowflex? yay or nay?
Answer: thats a personal choice in terms of likes and
dislikes. I would say since you ordered it,
really use it, get your money's worth otherwise it
will be just money down the drain.

Question #47: does bowflex work as good as a bench press? and does it give good workout for other muscels too?
i have a busy schedual so i dont have time to go
to the gym, anyways im just asking if anyone
know's how effective the bowflex is at working out
chest arms and back, i cant get a regualr bench
press at home because i have no one to spot me,
does any one know of any other machines that are
effective? Thanks for any answeres
Answer: The Bow Flex is a good machine because it uses
cable style resistance, which makes the muscles
and joints balance and stabilize the weight. The
only problem is that it is very expensive and
unnecessary if you were to use dumbbells or a
power cage instead. You may really enjoy a Bow
flex, but for the same amount of money you could
stock a room full of equipment using barbells,
dumbbells, benches and exercise balls. If money is
no option get a bow flex and add other equipment
to keep your interest.

Question #48: Bowflex work outs.?

site that would help me?

Question #49: bowflex owners?
can a bowflex make me taller? (im 14)and can the
"bowflex sport" work my abs?cons and
pros of bowflex please
Answer: The only thing to make you taller is growth
hormones. I know a girl who has taken them
perscribed by her doctor. Her mother gives her a
shot (I believe daily) and its definitely worked
over time. There are charts that show height
averages by age. A doctor probably would require
you to be far from average for your age. On
the site below, eight users rate Bowflex sport
PROS & CONS.

Question #50: Bowflex or free weights, which is better? Any bowflex users out there?
I am intrigued by the bowflex but I don't know if
it is worth all of the money, plus I have heard
that there have been a few incidents where people
have been injured when the bow breaks. I wish you
could try before you buy.Serious answers only
please.
Answer: I used the crossbow, which is very similiar to the
bowflex...I tried the bowflex and it's more or
less the same thing, i liked the crossbow a little
better because you can change the resistance
quicker and go to different exercises faster if
you want to do a bunch of reps and go to each
exercise without a break (can't think of the type
of workout that is off for some reason at the
moment)...ANYWAYS...as far as quality goes, i
think the bowflex is top notch, you can't go wrong
and it's definitely a good workout...free weights
will give you more of bulky muscles, bowflex will
give you more lean muscle....i don't know where
you're from, but there is a place called Dicks
Sporting goods that has a bowflex on display where
you can try it...i think it would be worth your
investment to get a bowflex
