Does anyone have a Bowflex?

If so do you like it and still use it

there is a good joke in here somewhere I just figure it out

I used to own one. It was very good for maintaining whatever existing muscle tone I had, but did very little towards creating new muscle mass.

I gave it away to my ex-BIL and decided to join a gym instead. The results were much better.

I owned a crossbow.

I recommend owning one if you just don't have time or the desire to go to a gym. Any exercise is better than none at all. The weightage those machines give you will suffice and the motion of using the cables and "stabilizer muscles" will become second nature after a few days.

Personally, i'd prefer to go to a gym. Just my personal preference.

I too prefer the gym to the Bowflex, but now we aren't members at Lifetime anymore so we are getting my parent's Bowflex. I like it, but I'm not trying to build major muscle either. It does a great job for toning. If you are trying to lose weight, it will be great for that too. I've heard good things about the Crossbow also (by Bowflex users) and it is less expensive.

We have a bowflex and I love it. I like it over going to the gym because you are in the privacy of your own home. We have had our unit for 2 years. I am ready to upgrade to one of the newer models that they have out.

LOL!!! My DH was the same way! Used it maybe 3 times after he got it and now it holds nothing but coats.

It is the most expensive coat hanger that I have ever had!! LOL!!!
