Bowflex Blaze: Why It's The Best Entry Level Home Gym Machine

I recommend the Blaze over the newer entry level Bowflex machines like the PR1000. Why? It is expandable to 310 and 410 pounds while the PR1000 is not. Furthermore, it boasts 60+ exercises while the PR1000 is only around 30.

The price difference? Only about $100.

Your Resistance Upgrade Options

So you've maxed out the weight on your machine and you want more resistance? The Bowflex upgrades are the only way to go. Pick your flavor: 410 or 310 pounds of resistance. A little secret: both the 410 and 310 are exactly the same price.

Remember, not all home gyms are compatible with the Bowflex upgrade rods. These are only designed for the Bowflex Motivator, Bowflex Xtreme/Xtreme 2, Bowflex Sport, Bowflex Blaze and Bowflex Power Pro.

Check prices and reviews for the 410-pound upgrade rods and 310-pound upgrade rods here.

Bowflex Dumbbells - Ingenious or Junk?

One of Bowflex's most significant inventions lies in a very simple piece of workout equipment: the dumbbell. With it's space saving design you'll no longer have to mess around with metal plates scattered all around your workout space.

Bowflex i-Trainer Software and Body Plan Book Review

Planning your workout and getting the right training under your belt is paramount if you want to see real results from the time you spend working out with your Bowflex home gym. I wrote an extensive review on the Bowflex Body Plan book.

The Bowflex i-Trainer software is the newer of the 2, which came out sometime last year. I had some experience with this fitness training software and wrote about it here.
