lots of nonsense in this thread.
only about 5% of you guys are in shape and the simple reason is because being in shape is a lifestyle thing that requires discipline and real work, rather than talking about it.
i've had a bowflex sport model almost 3 years. bought it cheap on ebay from a fat guy in chicago who never used it.
bowflex is very well made, and it does take up lots of space so you need a place to use it without having to push it around. truth is ANY exercise gizmo will help you if you set your timer and work with it every fucking day.
to stay in shape you must be on a routine, which means exercise must be convenient, which means having a machine at home that you can do 15 minutes on while your oatmeal, walnuts, flaxseed and raisin breakfast cools in the microwave means you stay in shape and don't waste time.
you will not build up huge muscles on bowflex, what it will give you is a flat belly and a swimmer's build.
i do 15 mins daily on bowflex for arms, and ride my bicycle for 30 mins (indoors on bike trainer during winter) every fucking day.
and i am on a careful, 1900-2100 cal/day diet.
and it does work.
