The Bowflex Revolution home gym has created ripples in the exercise market as it claims to have a gym-full of equipment in one machine. The $2,800 price tag may scare you at first but if you take advantage of the free shipping offers tat they often have and couple that with payment options, you can compare that to the costs of a proper gym membership and evaluate if it makes dollars and sense to you. A lump sum payment may be difficult for many, but $20 a month or something similar is often a manageable amount.

When you join a gym, its not just the membership dues that you are accountable for. You also have to pay the registration or start up fee; you have to factor in gas to get to the gym, proper workout attire and childcare if applicable. Factor in all these costs to make an honest comparison.

Private Gym at a Great Price

The Bowflex Revolution home gym can help you do over 100 kinds of exercise right at home. It is also available in a space saving design called Bowflex Revolution XP if you do not have an entire basement to spare. Either model has SpiraFlex Resistance Technology that helps you reap the benefits of free weights. The Bowflex Revolution equipment has over 100 kilos or 220 pounds worth of weights and that too can be upgraded to 300 pounds for upper body workouts and 600 pounds for lower body workouts.

Apart from weights, the Bowflex Revolution also gives you a cardio workout with a builtin rowing machine for burning calories, warm up exercises and cool down ones. The equipment manufacturers claim that you can duplicate nearly any exercise you see at a state of the art gym or anything a personal trainer or class instructor has ever recommended all in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

The upper and lower body workout features lets you do bicep curls, leg presses and other exercises for specific parts of your body or for a full body workout if you prefer. They have so many different exercise routines that you could do something absolutely varied every single day of the week. This is something highly recommended for weight loss and body shaping as if you continue the same exercise very day, your body gets accustomed to it and doesnt help in losing pounds or inches.

The Bowflex Revolution is designed to fit normal sized rooms with standard ceilings and dimensions. It comes complete with instructional videos and you can always enhance your experience by adding on accessories like more DVDs, mats to protect you and your flooring, accessory racks and more.

To some, the bowflex power pro is a gimmicky device that is a departure from the traditional bodybuilding and strength training weights that one will find in a gym. Of course, the bowflex power pro is designed as a compact exercise device designed to fit in the home. It is not device for competitive bodybuilding; it is designed to provide an exercise resource for those looking to get in shape when they come home from work.

Using the Bowflex

On a baseline level, the bowflex power pro device provides a decent amount of resistance training so that the muscles will grow when subjected to the resistance over a period of time. Additionally, if one drops the amount of weight on the bowflx power pro and increases the number of reps then the device will provide a decent method of calorie burning. (Please note: if calorie burning is desired it is advised to cross train low weight/high reps with jumping rope, jogging, stationary bike riding, etc) So, if you are looking for a decent home gym product designed to provide achievable results this is an excellent product.

Putting the Bowflex into Perspective

There will always be some confusion regarding a blowflex power pro device and its ability to get a person in shape. Granted, much of this confusion comes from the advertisements that promote the blowflex power pro as the individuals who are featured in these ads have physiques that may not be reached by the average person. Now, this is not to say that you CAN NOT develop the physique the actors in the commercial possess, but these actors must watch a strict diet, perform a great deal of cardio and a lot of resistance training. This could run into 3 to 4 hours of training a day. The average person will probably only have an hour to train a few days a week and one hour is ENOUGH to make noticeable gains in physique.

As the old saying goes, you get out of something what you put into it. If you are consistent and dedicated with your training and set goals that you follow through with then you will achieve your desired goals. Remember, it is not so much the equipment you purchase that brings about the desired result it is your effort. Of course, having the right equipment certainly doesnt hurt either and the bowflex power pro system is definitely the right equipment to use.

Working out with dumbbells can be tough enough, especially for the beginner and if the dumbbell locking device on the bar is not tight enough, the user runs the risk of having the weights slide off the bar and onto their head of foot. This is just one of the issues that the Bowflex Selectech dumbbell addresses, with it weight dialing system to change the amount of weight for any given style of workouts.

There are different exercises that can be done with dumbbells, such as bicep curls and bench presses. However, when using traditional dumbbells, the time spent changing the weight on each one can break an exercise routine by anywhere from three to five minutes. When going from one weight to another, the locking device has to be removed and weight added or reduced, and then relocked. The Bowflex Selectech helps make this change with a simple revolution of the selection dial.

With the Bowflex Selectech dumbbell set, the bars sit in their holder and the user simply dial in the amount of weight they want to use, up to 52 pounds, and then lifts the dumbbell with the desired amount of weight automatically on the bar. There is no need for weight retainers or any chance of the weights falling off in the middle of a repetition.

No Mess, No Fuss, No Weights Lying On The Floor

One of the biggest advantage of using the Bowflex Selectech dumbbells is that there are no extra weights lying around on the floor to be tripped on during a workout. This also means all the weights are in one place and ready for use in the turn of a dial. No times is lost changing weights on the individual dumbbells, as the weight can be added or subtracted in seconds. This allows switching from 20-pound bicep workout, for instance, to a 50-pound weight for bench pressing in seconds and not the usual minutes required for traditional dumbbells.

With most traditional dumbbells there could be as many as 20 different weights to add up to 52 pounds on each bar, but with the Bowflex Selectech dumbbells there are only two separate weights for each bar. The storage rack also makes keeping them all together easier, maintaining neatness in the area used for physical training.

If safety is a primary concern, the Bowflex Selectech dumbbells also will not come lose, crashing down on the head or toes. Each weight is securely attached to the bar without the need of tightening a retaining device.

The power of a great workout all boils down to how effectively you spend your exercise time as well as how often you exercise. With the Bowflex Treadclimber you can get three types of workouts all from one machine and you can attain the body you want with just a three times a week fitness regime.

Some people can workout with weights or aerobic exercise every day of the week and have nothing much to show for it. Of course, your diet is one part of losing weight, but how you exercise plays a huge role as well. With the Bowflex Treadclimber, you can realize great results without expending additional effort or waste the extra days, unless you want to, of course.

The Workouts You Get

With the Bowflex Treadclimber you get the workout of a treadmill, stairclimber and elliptical machine. For a warm-up, you can walk forward using the treadmill function, thanks to the moving belts in the machine. You can adjust your walking speed as well as your resistance (such as mimicking a slight incline to burn more calories) with the treadmill function.

The stairclimber is more unique than the treadmill as it has two moving belts, which the Bowflex Company calls dual treadles. These two moving belts can move independently so that you can step up just like with an old-fashioned stair stepping machine. With the stairclimber function of the Bowflex Treadclimber you can also adjust the resistance for a more intense or less intense workout.

With the elliptical workout from this versatile piece of workout equipment, you essentially get the combined action of both the treadmill and the stairclimber. The elliptical motions are smoother than a traditional elliptical machine plus it is low impact which is great for joint health.

Benefits of Working out with the Bowflex Treadclimber

The great thing about this machine is that because you can get three workouts in one, you dont have to spend as much time working out. Most people lose weight faster than other methods by working out for thirty minutes about three times a week. One of the best things about the Bowflex Treadclimber is that you can also burn twice as many calories on this machine versus a traditional treadmill.

This exercise machine provides a great aerobic workout that is both heart and lung healthy and helps strengthen the overall cardiovascular system. Also, the Bowflex Treadclimber provides a low-impact workout which minimizes impact on the joints. Toning up muscles is a lovely side benefit for working out at least three times a week.

Availability of the Bowflex Treadclimber

For people interested in a three in one workout that the Bowflex Treadclimber provides, there are five different product lines to choose from. Of course, the basic model, the TC1000 will not have the bells and whistles or the price tag of the top of the line TC6000. So you have to decide what your budget will allow based on the computer features and display options of each machine. The great news is that there are some financing options available to that everyone has the potential to have a great Bowflex Treadclimber workout.

If you are looking for more than just a weight bench for your home workout, consider the Bowflex Extreme. This all-in-one home gym uses resistance to give you an overall body workout and you can even do the same exercises on the Bowflex as you can do on a weight lifting machine.

Lack of time in your daily schedule to head to the gym or not wanting to commit to a long gym membership are two of the primary reasons why the Bowflex Extreme is popular with home gym enthusiasts. Of course, being able to fit in your workout within your own time frame or whim is a positive aspect as well.

Some Features of the Bowflex Extreme

This machine is made of solid construction and you have a seven year limited warranty, one of the best in the business of home gyms. In terms of stability and size, the base of the machine is reinforced for balance and the size is not bulky. You can usually fit your Bowflex Extreme in a handy nook in the family room, home office or even a portion of your garage or covered patio.

Over 60 exercises can be performed on the Bowflex Extreme which means you can get an overall body workout. A full-body workout means that you are completing compound exercises, using multiple muscle groups at a time, therefore burning extra fat and calories. The machine is comfortable and easily adjusted for any exercise you need and you have several different pulley and cable systems to utilize as well.

The great thing about the Bowflex Extreme is that you can add another 210 pounds of resistance to the existing 210 pounds. That means your machine can grow with your new strength and fitness capabilities which not all home gyms can do. An upper and lower pulley system is available for various exercises as is the lat bar and abdominal bar.

One of the other positive aspects about the Bowflex Extreme is the comprehensive owners manual and fitness guide. The instructions are detailed on how to change resistance on the pulleys as well as clearly maps out different exercises you can try to work different muscle groups.

Purchasing the Bowflex Extreme

The internet is your best option in purchasing a Bowflex Extreme because the price is likely to be lower than retail outlets. You may even see an advertisement on television for Bowflex ordering but the internet is the way to go as you can spend more time studying the equipment and deciding whether or not it will fit in your fitness and weight loss goals. The consensus of many current Bowflex Extreme owners is that it is worth the investment and you can be guaranteed an effective total body workout.
