Bowflex in 1996
When looking for a home gym many of us wonder how good Bowflex really is. Is it as good as the commercials we remember from 10, 20 years ago?
I went to the website I know well, WebMD. Here are the pros they found with Bowflex:
Bowflex Home Gyms can be useful for people who want to achieve and maintain a general level of muscular fitness. They're easy to store and easy to use. The Bowflex is safe for most people and has even been used in rehabilitative settings. Further, working out with the Bowflex may result in less muscle soreness than free weights, especially for beginners. Bowflex seems to require less negative work on the muscles - that is, stress when the muscle is lengthening to return to its starting position -- than free weights. ... For people trying to lose weight, a Bowflex Home Gym is an excellent source of resistance training to supplement daily cardio exercise and a reduced-calorie diet.
For me, that is good enough.
