To BowFlex or not


BowFlex Posted by Picasa

I own a bowflex,is it all that, I have to say no!I have worked out a fair bit since the age of 13,mostly with free weights.I bought a bowflex because it is convient and does not take up much space and the wife said the weights have to go,no room in the house! So I have a platform with a bench and about 300 pounds of weights that I use in the summer in the back yard!
Do I use my bowflex,yes, winter only, use the outdoor weights in the summer. I am not putting down the bowflex don't get me wrong, it is just not for me, I don't get the same burn or pump as I do with free weights.
For someone who wants to firm up and has never really experienced free weights by all means bowflex is for you, but if you mostly are weight trained you may be disappointed with the feel of the bowflex.
