Bowflex

[Body Break]

My husband and I just bought a Bowflex! I can't wait to try it out. Does anybody here have a Bowflex and how do you incorporate it with your Cathe Workouts?

Thanks
Sue

I have had a Bowflex for a very long time. I really like mine a lot. I have used it for my Slow and Heavy Cathe dvds. It works great for heavying up on squats. Squats was the only leg segment of S&H I could use it for but I quite often have added on leg curls and extensions and extra calf work. It works nice for add ons or to just find moves that are the same as the dvd workouts and do them with the Bowflex.

I have a Bowflex too and I have used it with Cathe workouts just to change things up a bit. For example, when Cathe has us doing lat pullovers on the floor, I can use the lat tower on my Bowflex instead. It's also easier for me to do incline chest work on the Bowflex, rather than lying on a tilted step bench. These are just a couple examples - you could use it for any of Cathe's weigh exercises, pretty much. I really like having the Bowflex around.

Hi, my DH and I got one at a garage sale for $100! I use it mostly for lat work... variations of pull downs, and I've also used it for working the quads. My DH uses it alot more than I do.

At the end of GS BSB, for example, I'll tack on lat work on the bowflex.

Enjoy!!

DH bought be one years ago when I was in a, "I need it to get in shape" mode. It's been gathering dust for the last few years, but I have been thinking about bringing it out more and more, especially for back/lat work now that I have been working out on a consistent basis for 3 years! Now I just need to put it somewhere..... (oh, and to answer your question about fitting it in with Cathe...I don't do Cathe weights anymore, I lift on my own, but much heavier)
