Bowflex Workout Tips
If you find yourself rushing or jerking the weight up at the end of your set, you may need to use a lower weight.
If you are doing the 20 minute cardio Bowflex workout, the intention is to keep the heart rate up for the full 20 minutes. This is easier if you select exercises that use multiple muscles or engage the big muscles. For example, you'll have an easier time getting your heart rate up doing chest press than the one-armed seated bicep curl.
Group your exercises so that you are not constantly changing the seat in and out.
If it's been awhile, watch the Bowflex workout tape that came with your machine. Make sure you're doing the core exercises correctly.
Keep a water bottle nearby, both during your workout and during daily activities.
Concentrate on the muscle the exercise focuses on. Don't think about other things when you're in the middle of your repetitions.
To prevent injury, warm up with stretching or by performing the exercises a light weight before you start your routine.
Keep good posture when you exercise. Don't slump forward over your Bowflex or slouch. Good posture promotes good technique which will help you get in shape and stay healthy.
Work hard but don't hurt yourself. One of the cool things about Bowflex is you don't need a spotter, and you're not going to drop the weights on yourself, but know your limits and be smart!
