I also have a Body Solid home gym. It's been great to

use that in combination with free weights.

Thanks everyone I appreciate your input. What type of Bowflex do you have.

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I'd recommend the Bowflex machine. I've had one for about a month,

and I think it's great. It's compact and fairly lightweight, since

it uses bow-resistance instead of plates. Switching between

different exercises is pretty quick, and the resistance is very quiet

and smooth. While I'm not a long term user, I'm confident that this

will turn out to be one of the best purchases I've ever made.

I'm new to this list, and I'm looking forward to doing my first BFL

challenge. I discovered the book around the time I discovered

Bowflex, back in October. I'd spent the last six months trying to

lose weight by doing treadmill 20 min/3 days per week, plus fairly

small dumbell work. With this plus " sensible " eating I'd lost 35

lbs. in 4 months. Unfortunately, I hit a " plateau " about 3 months

ago, and my weight has not budged. I need to lose another 50 lbs to

get to 170 lbs (which, since I am a 41 yr male, 5'9 " , should be about

right). Weight training and higher protein in the diet will

hopefully be the answer, particularly BFL-style.

I'm looking forward to the moral support from this list. This seems

like a very active, vibrant group, and that's just great.
