A Professional Bowflex Workout Guide
This isn't a Bowflex manual by any means, this is a complete workout guide on how to transform your body. All photos in the book are accompanied by a Bowflex machine, but really the plan included can be used on any kind of home gym.
This workout guide will give you a great exercise plan which you can easily follow with your Bowflex home gym, the perfect diet which is based upon calories consumed, great advice on super-hydration, and full scientific explanations behind each of the unique concepts.
About a third of the book is dedicated to exercises, while the rest covers the history of the Bowflex, the importance on understanding the science behind muscle and fat, and other theory about losing weight and building muscle.
You can find this book on Half.com for about $14.00 - a great deal and worthwhile investment.
Read what people are saying about this Bowflex workout guide:
The book came and my first reaction was... this guy is nuts. I read most of the book thinking it would just get placed on the book shelf with all the other diet books I've collected over the years.
My second reaction was... this is different than all those other books (including the manual) and all those other books aren't working so what do I have to lose but some flab? I'm on my second week following the plan in this book and I've lost around 8 pounds and I can see my arms are toning up.
This is an excellent book! By following the workout routines I lost 14 lbs and gained 5 1/2 lbs of muscle in 6 weeks. I did NOT strictly follow the diet guidelines, but if I did I would probably have doubled my fat loss. In fact, I pigged out on meals and desserts for about five days during Thanksgiving (within the 6 week period).
Dr. Darden's principals as explained in this book have turned me into a lifetime fan. I love working out on the bowflex and have stuck with it for 10 weeks now and have no plans on stopping. I highly recommed this book.
As a woman who owns a Bowflex Machine, I was pleased to see this book on how to use Bowflex effeciently and productively. And I wasn't disappointed.
Chapter 22, "Hips and Thighs:Tackling the Tough Spots", is exactly what I've been looking for to address my problem areas. Chapter 11 on "Muscle", and Chapter 12 on "Fat", are clearly written and helped me understand the science behind my own body's composition. Chapter 26, "Those Last 5 Pounds: 30 Tips on How to Lose Them" effectively summarizes Elllington Darden's philosophy. I appreciate the balanced presentation for women and men,in both text and pictures.
I recommend this book for any woman who has a Bowflex Machine, or any woman who ever considered using Bowflex.The numerous before-and-after photographs will help you to realistically "picture the possibilities" of what you can expect from Bowflex training and proper eating.

Please send instructions on how to get a replacement owner’s manual for the Bowflex Power Pro with the leg workout attachment. The machine was originally purchased around 2000 and the manual has been lost.

This is one of the most impressive body books I have ever come across. Well written, easy to follow with great photographs to help you highlight the exercises and areas in your body you need to work on. It also acts as a visual aid and motivator in case you fall off the wagon (as I did over Christmas!).
