The Bowflex Workout Plan: A New TraditionMany fitness experts also believe that resistance training may be healthier for the body, putting less stress on the joints. However, this has yet to be proven, and many bodybuilders believe a machine like the Bowflex home gym cannot replicate the power of heavy weights and heavy repetitions. However, the Bowflex workout plan can be tailored to garner results very similar to most in-gym lifting routines. While no weights are involved, the act of tension working against muscles challenges them in the same way, breaking them down to build them up. While it is true many bodybuilders probably need resistance in excess of the Bowflex home gym, the average fitness lover will probably benefit greatly from a Bowflex workout plan. He or she can save a lot of money on a gym membership and get the same variety of routines right at home, on one simple machine. One Machine, Many Goals There is no one Bowflex workout plan. While the home gym comes with a set of pre-designed exercises, these are basic exercises that do not require a lot of thought or planning. However, thanks to the sheer amount of attachments available for Bowflex machines, almost any kind of weight training exercise can be replicated with the tension system, all without the need to purchase more and more free weights. In order to decide on a Bowflex workout plan, however, a user needs to first decide what his or her exact goals are. A traditional Bowflex workout plan will look very similar to any weight lifting routine - chest one day, legs another day, shoulders on the fourth day, maybe a day for the back and a day dedicated to the rest of the arms. The Bowflex home gym can also double as an aerobic row machine. Once again, like most routines, weight and repetitions are important, and most of these exercises should be performed as three sets. While there are no weights, the Bowflex still mimics the appearance of weights, and users should slowly increase the weight of their exercises, while fine-tuning the repetitions and the overall Bowflex workout plan to the results they crave. In other words, heavier weights at lower repetitions will create large muscles, while lower weights with higher repetitions will tone muscles. |
