BOWFLEX
OR B*LLSHIT?
I
have received e-mails from many of you who have spent your hard
earned money on “Bow Flex” and other similar “get
in shape quick” equipment. Most of these equipment advertisers
promise a super hard chiseled and athletic body without the use
of free weights or dieting.
The
fact is that most if not all of the models and spokespeople used
in this advertising are hard core free weight lifters. I personally
know many of the celebrities used in theses ads including Chuck
Norris and Wesley Snipes, who both use free weights in their regular
workout routines. Using a cable to achieve the results advertised
is simply absurd.
Because
of the inherent limitations associated with “Bow Flex”
type equipment, my advice to those of you who want to invest in
gym equipment is to buy a bench and free weights. Unless you are
within 10 pounds of your target weight and within a few inches
of your target measurements, “Bow Flex” will be of
little use because, in my opinion, it can only help to refine
a body that is already in top athletic form.
I strongly
recommend that before any of you consider buying “fad-ad”
gym equipment that you first concentrate on daily cardiovascular
activity coupled with a healthy low glycemic diet.
