High Tech Power Rods

The Bowflex Power Pro is one of the several models of Bowflex fitness and exercise machines that use engineered Power Rods for their resistance during your exercises. They are manufactured from space age, high tech composite materials and are guaranteed for the life of the machine never to wear out or lose their tensile strength.

Added Safety Features

Other positive features of Bowflex power rods that set them apart from other exercise machines that still use obsolete iron weights for resistance, is that Power rods are quiet and much easier on joints and connective tissues during your workout. This is so important, because while everyone generally considers themselves immune to injuries during their workouts, the fact is, that they can happen.

Up to 400 Pounds of Resistance

The Bowflex Power Pro comes with a repertoire of over sixty standard exercises that can be done on it and a resistance rating of 210 pounds off the shelf. However, by simply adding more Power rods, the resistance factor on the machine can be increased to 310 or 410 pounds. It is important to bear in mind that 410 pounds of weight is a lot to play around with, so it is highly recommended that you work your way up to that number carefully and progressively.
