The Bowflex Revolution
The Bowflex has raised more sensationalism within the exercise market than most other types of exercise products. It is hailed as the best all-round workout, thanks to Tessema Dosho Shifferaw from San Francisco, who introduced it in 1979. Originally, the Bowflex gym was a simple, flat bench which could be adjusted into an incline position of about 40 degrees. Other options were the lat tower and leg extension exercises.
This exercise product was first presented as an in-home gym and, and soon became one of the most popular of its kind. Two designs were created: the Bowflex Power Rod Home Gym and the Bowflex Revolution Home Gym. There is also a Bowflex stepper available on the market.
Types
of Bowflex Home Gyms
- Power Rod Gym – This is the original product under which Bowflex is widely known.
- Bowflex Revolution – The SpiraFlex system replaced the Power Rod system, replicating the benefits of free weights, and producing faster positive results.
- Bowflex SelectTech Dumbbells – Over 30 individual weights were replaced by one set of SelectTech dumbbells. The weight range is from 5 lbs to 90 lbs – all one has to do is simply turn the dial to select.
Bowflex Equals Big Benefits
Due to its relatively small size, Bowflex is compatible with practically
any-size space, and due to its diversity, users of different calibers
can achieve their objectives.
The system of the Bowflex technology is distinctive and allows you to work within the extent of your capability. The power rod technology features additional resistance as you bend the rods, and with increased resistance comes the potential ability to improve from 200 lbs to over 400 lbs. There are about 100 strength building exercises you can do to build and maintain a healthy body.
Cardiovascular Workout
Certain Bowflex gyms have built-in rowing equipment that contributes to
your cardiovascular wellness. The freedom arms make for an easy change
from one exercise to another, without disturbing the cardio workout.
Another exercise product by Bowflex that not only increases your heart rate, but also promotes weight loss, is the Bowflex Treadclimber; its basic concept is the same as a stairclimber or stepper. It engages other muscle groups to burn calories. Research indicates that three times the calories can be burned using this equipment in comparison to a treadmill. The unique design of this machine helps minimize impact on important joints such as the knees. No matter what level of fitness you present, or what age you are, the low impact cardio workout is beneficial.
Bowflex Progressive
Bowflex is one of the most progressive home gym systems on the market.
It offers high quality equipment and warranties. The price is typically
higher than other similar exercise products, but then, so is the quality.
As a general rule, the Bowflex gym offers better opportunity to achieve
the desired results when users undertake a twenty minute a day, three
day a week workout. However, as advertised by all other exercise programs,
a well-balanced diet plays a significant role in the maintenance of a
healthy body.
