I have done the gym and health club routine and have determined that they aren for me. What are the positives and negatives on the Bowflex ?
Justin Leonard: The main positive with the Bowflex and other machines of its type is obviously convenience. The Bowflex offers a bigger variety of exercises that you can do as opposed to that of a traditional plastic weight set. Another plus would be the small amount of space it utilizes. Other than that, resistance is resistance. The form it comes in doesn’t matter. Muscles respond to any type of resistance. I’m not sure what the negatives are with the Bowflex, but what you have to consider is the durability/sturdiness of the machine, the amount of time it takes to switch from exercise to exercise, the price for what it does, and other factors. For example, is a screw driver going to be required to switch out different pieces of equipment or is it snap and lock?
