Bowflex i- Trainer Software is basically targeted for the beginner to moderately experienced fitness trainer and it also contians some nice features for anyone who is looking to shed some weight. I liked it and while I didn’t make full use of all its features, the ones that I did end up using, I use a lot. I was a bit surprised at how long it took to install on my computer though but once it was done, it was all worth it. I had my son to help me, so do make sure that you read all the instructions that come with it prior to installing the software.
I really like the feature that allowed my to watch a sample person performing an exercise routine prior to doing it. It allowed me a clear picture of precisely what I was to be doing, which made things a heck of a lot easier. I also like the fitness diagnostic tools that allowed me to check my fitness range. By the way, this same fitness diagnostic tool also has features that can be used to track my fitness progress. It’s a great motivator when you can actually see your improvements as they happen.
The goal setting/progress tools are set up nicely and are realistic and just one more motivator. There’s even a tool that I used to check my body fat percentage that everyone in may family took a turn with. Of course theres a program for setting up a workout schedule, but ironically my favorite feature is one that I use all the time.
It allows the computer to randomly select out a set of exercises for me to do.
I know it sounds odd but it breaks up the monotony and and makes things just a little more challenging for me when I need them to be. Bottom line: Its hard for me to imagine someone who is serious about committing to getting in shape not getting something out of i- Trainer Software. I don’t use all of it but what i do use on it I do use pretty much every time I work out.

I hadn’t been to the gym in years when I received this as a christmas gift and even thought it was my wifes idea of a particularly cruel practical joke. How wrong I was! The DVD helped me think about training and exercise in a completely new way. I realized that my previous training routine was as old and out of date as my gym kit and the Bowflex trainer has brought me back into the 21st century. My wife had her reasons for buying me this DVD and if she thought it was good enough (I certainly do) then so should you.
