- Опубліковано 27 лип 2017

I kept my lifestyle the same and just added the Max Trainer! I also saw endurance and body fat gains as well - it was a tough month, but it was certainly worth it.

Hi, my name is Tony and just wanted to let you know I’ve had my M7 for quite a while now, but since December of 2022 I’ve decided to really take my workouts serious. I started at 265 lbs as of now in mid April I am 245 lbs. Plus, I started doing 14 minutes and now I’m at 40 minutes 3x a week. Love how I feel. Don’t give up.
Any diet with it?
I would kill to be 181. I'm trying now. 10 down, 70 to go. (started at 264) Thanks for the review.
+Lancer VI I was 240 at my highest - you can do it! Go get em!
Have you reached your goal ?
What I love about your review is how realistic a goal you set and how you got reasonable results... a lot of videos are about doing tons of things and achieving massive results that we look at and think i could never get such results...your video on the other hand shows that introducing 3 short sessions a week can bring about incremental benefits that will add up over time
So great to see a review with quantifiable results and honesty about adding just this one thing to your normal lifestyle. Thank you :)
Using the M7...Had not worked out in years. I’m over 60. First month 14 minutes steady pace. Worked out 5-6 days straight with one day off. Light weight work out afterwards. Second month 20 minutes steady pace. Doubled number of reps for light weight workout. Emphasis was on building a base and not injuring myself. Cut soda from my diet. Results...I lost 34 pounds. Third month...starting high intensity workouts.
Nice!! Congrats! Very cool. Thank you for sharing
I can see that your face slimmed a bit too. Yes the MaxTrainer works your legs!!! Yes, I agree - I but a folding chair next to my Max Trainer so I can sit down after the Interval trainer!
Thank you for taking the time to do a proper review of your one month progress... and not just showing us you are happy you received your new equipment.
Please keep updating your thoughts on this machine!! 👍🏽👍🏽.
Congratulations on your weight loss!!
+Steph Active Veggie Byrd thanks so much! Hope it was helpful
When I first purchase my M5 I spent a week just getting acclimated to the machine before foregoing the Max Interval. I'm currently on resistance level 16, and down 40 pounds in a little over three months. However, I'm also sticking to a 2000 calorie per day eating plan and I have completely given up sugary drinks.
+Coronis that is awesome! Great job! Thanks for sharing :)
Coronis I have the M7, and I am glad you are also seeing the benefits. I went from 250 to 215 in about 2 months, but I also included weight training. I was using it 28 minutes a day 6 days a week at Max setting. I hate this machine, but it works
+Scott woah! 6 days a week is a lot! 28 minutes is a lot! That has to be tough. I struggle with 3 14 minute sessions a week
+Why Me yeah I've been lifting about 3 times a week, I need to add one more and increase my protein intake. I feel like I'm plateaued in terms of muscle gain
Coronis thank you for sharing your story I got M5 last week and I'm struggling with my workout I found it to be intense and hard even at lower resistant level. I was contemplating returning the machine I feel very discouraged but I'm having second thoughts after reading your comment
Such a great review!! It's nice to see someone who will actually go out of their way to do such a precise overall..Well done sir, and keep at it!
+Daman Malone thank you so much! I hope it was helpful!
Does it work out your abs? If no what body parts does it workout?
Thank you for this clear and concise video! I like how you took all your measurements, and even did a run to see how long and far you could go for before and after comparisons.
Excellent , genuine review. Your communication skills are relatable and a pleasure to watch. Really appreciate the “before and after” metrics and the humor. Thanks again
This is a good honest review and shows it can work. The fact that you didn't really adjust your "diet" but just added the machine and still had some pretty good results is awesome.
Dude, this is an absolutely fantastic review. I have been considering the M5 but could not find clear and concise information from a normal person. The deal is now sealed and I will be purchasing the M5 today. My sincerest thanks!!!
Sure thing! Happy to help!
Thank you! I’m thinking of doing all the same measurements because of your video! Such a good idea. I’m going to track my progress over the year. I’m really excited to lose a lot of weight I gained from depression and alcohol!
Pretty honest assessment. Thanks for posting.
You are a great youtuber, you deserve much more of a following! Thanks for the motivation to better myself!
So kind! Thank you :-)
We just got our max and seeing your video was very motivated thank you so much and hope to get good results like yours.
That's awesome! It's a great machine :)
I’ve been watching an rewatching this review for a year and I’m purchasing a max trainer total now. This review was so helpful! Thank you so much! Hopefully you are still using yours and it hasn’t become a laundry rack!
Thanks so much! So kind. I still use it, it's great. :)
Looking into an M5 trainer for myself and this review was helpful...also made me chuckle.
Great job, thank you. Just bought mine today, looking forward to it ;)
And that's how you do a proper review. Very helpful and great job, thank you!
Love your REAL and honest review!
Now this is a useful review. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Awsome job. Helps those of us considering investing in the M7
Happy to help!
Appreciate the video, video and sound are second to none and very thorough with the information! For one month, impressive! I have been considering the M7 and this seals the deal, plan on getting one later this fall!
+Chris Mayes hey thanks! Too kind! I hope you love it :)
I appreciate the candid & honest feedback. I've always loved using the elliptical when I go to the gym. So this purchase makes sense to me.Today is the last day to get the Labor Day savings, and you made me a believer to go ahead and purchase it.
+J B hey thanks, I hope you love it! I'm still using it and it's a pretty sweet machine.
Great video I just bought the newest bowflex max total 16 And I know it’s going to kick my butt I need to be in better shape. I’m glad you saw results I’m sure I’ll see results as well 😀
Great review! Love the apples to apples comparison! Hope you’re still at it!
Thanks! Funny you should say, I just got done with weights and about to jump on the max trainer in a minute or 2 :)
thanks for your honest review... I just might pick up one of those...
Wow this was a fantastic review. You have the perfect personality for these types of reviews. Really down to earth and relatable. I am convinced this would be a great machine to purchase.
So kind 😀
I'm almost 64 yo.male,i had a total knee replacement 12/5/19. I got on my m5 two weeks ago ,I did about dozen revolutions .I have plenty of swelling around the knee at that time .today I shoot for burning 25 calories three times a day .my knee is doing great ,I love the m5. you can buy them on craigs list for half the price of new.
October 8th 2017 my weight was 241 lbs. March 8th 2018 my weight was 194 lbs. Look I did start eating better no doubt, but man the MAX is FOR REAL !!!!!!! I also ride mountain bikes, but had not done for well over a year and half. Rode my bike for first time since that time in March. I was 10 times in better shape riding than when I used to ride 3 times a week 10-12 miles. Way more in shape than then. People this thing is really really GREAT. My goals now in April are 350 Cals ( Res level 14)per workout, but I have to go two clicks over the 14 interval . No big deal I am telling you. When I first started in Oct I was at 120 Cals 5 Res Level. Guys 14 min is nothing. GET THIS THING!!!!!! Oh yeah my cholesterol level went from 245 down to 190. I have the MAX7. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!.
Wow! You're a rockstar! I want to jump on mine now I'm so pumped lol! Seriously thanks for sharing!
Sold!
Such a great review!! Thank you :)
I'm considering a M5 because supposedly it doesn't take up alot of space, however your video has pointed me closer to a purchase thanks
Great video, I'm in week 3 of owning the M7 and it seriously continues to kick my butt. I have to admit I feel better and the scale says I've lost 5 pounds. I'm pretty active but I don't pay as close attention to my diet as I should. I'm 62 years old, been retired for almost 5 years, but no where near ready to sit on the porch and rock. This bow flex is incredible, my wife and I love it. Thanks for your video and the "realness" of it and your progress.
Thanks for sharing - that's awesome! It still kicks my butt too lol
When I first got the thing I could barely get 5 minutes in on level 6. I after a while I started to take it more seriously and then It took me 22:26 to do 200 calories and I thought I was going to die. Now I can do 200 cals in 11:46 minutes. Almost dying. I have lost 5 lbs maybe but I wasn't needing to lose much. I feel great. Have way more endurance. This machine is the real deal. I have been a weight lifter since my early 20's and never was into cardio. This thing is keeping me young.
Super-helpful! Thanks!
I just got 1 a few days ah go and OMG it's so intense. I love it
Me too ! My first week. It's just 14 minutes but INTENSE
How is it holding up?
Nice man! Thanks for the mic suggestion in Best Buy. I'm gonna try it out today.
+Harmonic Living 101 .com sure thing! Let me know when you do. I'd love to listen in :)
Great review and super inspiring!! GOOD JOB!
Thanks so much!
Nice job on the video! Appreciate the info!
Hey thanks, happy to help :)
Awesome video!!! Real guy real results.
Wow! Great job on the video. You explained alot while showing the numbers which is what people want to see. Nice work! Now trying doing 5x a week! Dont stop!
+Adam Zagoda hey thanks! Whew 5 times would be tough! Maybe one day!
Great review bud!
Just bought the M7, hasn't even been delivered yet. Stoked...
I've been having foot problems, and haven't been able to run or hike.
Hope this machine will start reversing the sedentary lifestyle.
How are you liking your Max trainer?
Hey Man! Thank you for sharing this honest review. I just purchased an M5, it arrives in a few days! I've very excited. I'm kinda the same size as you when you started, so I hope after a few months I can see an improvement. I might want to capture the process on video as well, just like you did. I think it's a great testimony! Take care man! I hope to see more videos to come.
+Daylon Clark thanks so much for the kind words. This machine is great for burning the pounds and I'm sure you'll have much success with it! Make a video - let me know. I'd love to see it!
I just might. I'll let you know for sure!
+Daylon Clark please do :)
How are you doing on your M5? Just ordered one.
Great video thanks for sharing.
Kool I just picked up a M3 -- just found your channel and pressed liked.
Great progress, I'm going to go buy one now. A pound a week is great progress.
Love this video along with the setup video (taking it out of the box etc). Both videos have been informative and funny at the same time. I had to stop doing Crossfit after going for 4 months because of the cost and having no income; but what I liked most about this video is how you said when you got done with some of the workouts you laid down on the ground. The reason I bring this up is because that is exactly how I felt most of the time when doing Crossfit, like when you said it is "intense" because that is how Crossfit is, so although this machine is not "Crossfit" it seems you can get a similar intensity to the cardio part of Crossfit. Yes I realize there are other ways of doing cardio but I think what appeals to me the most about this machine is how it pushes you to reach a certain level. So you may not have ever done Crossfit but hopefully me passing that information along about the intensity helps you in your decision/ justification in buying the machine (you helped the viewer so I thought I would return the favor). Unfortunately I will have to wait until I get a job again and get back on my feet to be able to purchase one. Your video definitely helped me make a decision and will have to come back and follow the link on your video so you get the credit for my purchase. Thanks again.
Thanks for the comment and the info about CrossFit! My sister in law loves CrossFit and I have heard it's intense. Although I haven't done it myself - just weights right now. I will say the Maxtrainer pushes you alot, but more your legs than anything. I felt very wobbly after the first few times and yes especially when it's hot I lay down after lol.
Sorry to hear about your job. Best of luck finding a new one! Maybe look into some of these internet opportunities like Lyft or Uber?
You're welcome, and that it works your legs more is good to know. I already have a rowing machine perhaps I will end up keeping both since I think rowing works more of your upper body than lower. When it comes to weight training check out the book "Scrawny to Brawny: The Complete Guide to Building Muscle the Natural Way" written by a PHD and who has you do (in the most simple description) the max weight you can do 5 sets of 5 and only increase the weight by a small amount once you can. If one wants to build strength it needs to be low reps high weight; which is interesting because Crossfit has you do high reps (as many as you can do in a minute over and over again for example). Found that most of the people that were in really good shape doing Crossfit came from a weight training background first. I liked Crossfit while I was doing it but for better strength gain/ weight training (not cardio) I would follow that book first (just my opinion).
Thank you for this homie
My right knee hurts and my lower back got really sore the next morning after using the max trainer for 14 minutes in the previous evening.
But I do feel that I get nice workout with this equipment
Excellent! Thanks much for an enjoyable, fun and informative vid.....
Sure thing!
Congrats on the weight loss! I am curious to know which workout you used for this test. I have owned one for a short amount of time and it is intense. Thanks!
Great review - really helped!
+Lisa P great, glad it helped!
Thank you! Helpful!!
I really love all the details you put into this video, from the weight measurements to the fat percentage to the body measurements...
This will really tell me how well the Max Trainer works, as of now I am completely sold on it, it is exactly what I have been waiting for,
so the only thing that could result from watching your video, is if it doesn't do what it is supposed to be able to do, or if it turns out to be a piece of junk,
and that is something I am not expecting.
So you lost about an inch everywhere (generalizing) a couple percentages of body fat, doubled your jogging distance and time...and you worked out what...3 times a week?
That would make 12 right?
AND you lost 5 pounds!!
That's amazing...I was actually planning to work out daily, or at least 5 times a week.
This really sounds amazing, and nothing you said has changed my mind about wanting one...thanks again for the great review!
Yes,it's an awesome machine! I still use it. The only complaint I hear and I can confirm is it does get a little squeaky. Still works great though - just wear headphones. I tried to do my tests as honestly as I could and I stand by the results, but it might vary on the person. The best results will be if you diet and use the machine. Lifting weights also helps.
They have a return policy I believe so if your sold give it go and if it's not what you thought it was send it back. That's what I'd suggest - best of luck! Let me know how it goes
I bought the m5 a month ago, not really knowing what the machine was. I wanted to add an additional exercise to my walking. I really love the max trainer! It’s a very addicting machine! In the last month I’ve lost 7 pounds so far. I use mine everyday that my legs allow it.(4-6 days a week)
Seeing your m7 video, I’m kinda wishing I’d boughten that one. Just to have the cup holder closer to me. 😊
+Nicole - that's awesome! Yeah the cup holder is nice :)
I have to admit mate, that was a honest looking review and I am definitely with you when you say the 6min are "very good" lol. I die after 5! :-) Will get the Max Total soon and hope to be able to get my body back. Too long no gym but junk food.
Great video was wondering do you still use this machine and if so did you have any problems with it at all?
Was looking for a before and after kinda video... this is almost it. Because you're already working out 3 times a week.
Great Video! Have any of you had squeaking occur on your machines? Or have any problems with the machine?
We have finally saved up enough money to buy the Bowflex and after reading reviews online many people say they have had issues with the machine and it makes me so nervous.
Awsome review
This is encouraging!!!!
Though I've gone from 180 to 160 during the pandemic I've hit a bit of a wall in terms of losing fat without resorting to more intense dieting. Think I'll be getting an M6 or M9 to finally push myself to 140-150lbs where i should be.
Great video. Just got the M7 have done it every day for 2wks. I'm a fat mess but I'm surprised at how quickly I felt better. I'm only at resistance lvl 3 and burn about 120-130 calories per workout. I do it 7 days a week and do an extra interval. Haven't changed my diet much yet but my heart rate recovers quicker already and I've lost a few pounds in a couple of weeks.
+Jeff Taylor hey thanks! That's awesome! So glad to hear about the progress! I'll be honest though, diet really helps too, but keep doing it!
Diet is everything
@@TheSearchForAwesome
That it is!
I have one of these and just got done on it, I’m 16 and trying to cut and bulk at the same time and wanted to know if this thing actually helps, also it’s a living hell to do it, in winter I was 215, after a month and a half I’m currently 201. But it helps to see other people’s progress!
Hey there. Just got my hands on an M5. First time on it I was pretty convinced I couldn't do it 😂... I committed to staying on for the full time and doing what I could. Today was my third day and I can already tell its getting easier. You aren't kidding about it being intense. Wow. Loved the video! 🤗💗
This makes me feel better. I just did my first workout and 3-4 min in I thought either mine is broken or I just can’t do it lol. You give me hope.
did you continue to use it after making the video? Was wondering how the result are getting after a year. Thanks!
Thank you for your great review! I'm in France and I was searching for a Proform Hiit Trainer, but after seeing a LOT of bad reviews and mostly VERY BAD customer service ( repair, refund, communication... ) I just discovered the Bowflex brand. I would like to know if the products are solid and longlasting. also, what is the difference between Max Total, M3...6...7...8... Thay all looks the same on the website. Oh and one more question, what about the noise? I saw a M7 video and the noise sounds very loud ! cheers
great job
I loved your review! I am weighing my mind on whether or not to invest in this machine but I am concerned about two aspects. Perhaps you can help. First, do you think it is recommended for persons who already have a knee problem? And two, Does the height of the person matter? Will it cause added strain for a short person , 4 ft 11 inches to use ? Look forward to your response!
Great review. After watching your video, I think I am going to purchase the Bowflex max trainer m7. I am a runner but I need a machine to stimulate/train other muscle groups like cross training. I thought about the Peloton bike but I think The Bowflex is the better choice.
+bluescrubs1963 I haven't heard of the peloton bike - it looks nice though. But I wholeheartedly recommend this machine. It's a quick, effective, tough workout. Let me know what you think when you if you get it.
If you decide to purchase one, if you don't mind - please use my link in the description of the video. It doesn't cost you anything extra and it helps support the channel. But no worries if you'd prefer not to. Best of luck!
First off Good review... But the Questions of the Century.. Are you still using it? and how has it held up??
Great review. I was going back and forth from getting the max trainer or getting the bowflex blaze. I personally do better with cardio then I do with weight training. I think this pushed me to get the max trainer since im looking to shed the weight. Personally i would do it everyday then 3 days a week but that is just me. Are you going to stick with 3 days a week?
+Sean P I'm pretty committed to 3 days because I also lift weights. If I was really cutting I might up it to 4 or 5 for a bit but I'd be back to 3 pretty quick. I'm sure you'll benefit from the extra sessions though!
Hi, thanks for sharing your videos! Great results! Is the unit rechargeable or does it have to be plugged into the electricity outlet the whole time? Thanks again
It plugs into the wall. Not battery powered
Just got the M7 and yes it kicks your butt!
+Jesse Detrick yeah it does!
I just love the "food" moment in this video. I hear you. I'm a previous foodie. Found out 5 years ago that I have celiac disease and I thought it would help me lose weight, but nope. Because.. nachos. They're gluten free!
Anyways. I'm poor and want the m5 bc it's cheaper and I can finance instead of going to a gym. I'm just over the gym life and even when I took classes, I barely saw results and I went four days a week (boot camp/crossfit, even!). Great video and it helps to show where to measure oneself. Good luck to you and your food efforts!!
+KERI STOKES I did not know those were gluten free- Yes food indeed! To really drop weight, I think you have to hit your body with a coordinated attack. I was about 220 3 years ago and I got sick of it. I got a fitness book called bigger leaner stronger and started what it said to do. I cut calories to 1800 a day, raised up my protein intake, took supplements, lifted weights 5 times a week and after 6 months I dropped down to 165. I'm a little more relaxed on my diet now (which I need not to be, but...food lol) and I only lift 3 times a week but that 6 months changed my life.
This machine will definitely help you, but for me it was multiple things put together that got me closer to where I wanted to be. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Keri, hope you get your M5. I really like mine. I just finished my 3rd week of using it and I can tell I'm losing weight and my cardio is much better. Not going to weigh myself until 10 weeks are up and then I will see what I lost or gained. LOL. Instead of working out on the M5 everyday, I've been doing 3 sessions on it every second day. The 2nd session is half the time of the first, and the 3rd session is half the time of the second. The reason is to give my heart and body 48 hours to recover and grow stronger.
raykrv6a thanks! And that's a great idea about the every other day workout. I can't wait to get mine, it might be a few months but I'll get there. Right now I'm just running a few miles a few times a week and eating much better!
Check Craigslist and you will usually find slightly used Max Trainers for sale for 1/2 the price. If you go look at one, just get on it and make sure it doesn't make any noise other than wind noise.
Good job
Awesome realistic video of a normal person. Where are you at now as far as your training?
+Frank Jackson not where I'd like to be honestly. The holiday season, man! I still use the Bowflex about 3 times a week and it is still a massive challenge.
Great very helpful 👍👍👍
When you are done your workout do you just unplug the machine? Or do you hold down the stop button?
I know this was 3 years ago but now that we are all locked down how’s it going ?? I got one & hopefully my Pt will let me start soon I gained weight since surgery on leg & covid ugh !!!! 🤯
thank you for such an excellent review. Helped make my mind up and we are going for the M5. will use your link to purchase, anything to help. Can't wait to try it and hopefully lose weight and tighten up - lol.
+Irene Templeman thanks so much for the kind words. That's great! I hope you love it. My brother loves his M5. It's tough but worth it!
nice vid TY' , it'd be interesting to see the results after a longer time period ( 3 months ? )
numbat 007 better yet, results for the last 2 years
2 years is way too long to see if any gadget works . daily use for 3 months gives a very accurate indicator of the gadget - is worthwhile or just (more ) snake oil junk !?
I purchased this and it gives you a great workout but after a year buy using it, it start having some problems. The crank arm replaced andvits still knocking pretty loud.Now it needs a part where the level button won't work on the down part which you have to turn it off to reset it.I give this a 3 out of 5 star. Positive, great workout,easy handles and pedals.Negative,not worth $1500 which I expect to last longer than it did.
Im really interested in this machine because I’m in the phase of 3 months transformation.
COOL VID.NICE TO SEE AN AVERAGE,HONEST, PERSON GIVING A REVIEW ON TRAINING EQUIPMENT!
+MARK WILLIAMS hey thanks! I try :)
This is the exact video I was hoping to find. Thank you! I was wondering which program you set your max trainer to though? I use mine on “fat burn” mostly.
Awesome - glad you found it! I always use the 14 minute mode or 7 minutes if I'm low on time, but I'm sure fat burning is great. I really can't do much longer than 14 minutes lol.
14 minutes is certainly a crazy workout. I’m going to try to do the 15 minute fat burn 5 days a week for two months. Wish me luck.
Did you continue to use these machines and if so did you continue to see results?
Thank you so much for the video! It was very helpful. I'm very curious as to your diet while doing the 4 week test?
+Tim Miller sure thing! I ate the way I would when not on a diet. So no calorie counting, but I didn't go crazy. Probably between 2000 and 2500 calories a day
Thanks for the quick reply. I literally just ordered the M7 five minutes ago. I have been on a Ketogenic eating routine for the past 10 months, I have lost 50 pounds so far without exercising at all. I can't say enough about Ketogenic eating. I knew it was time to take the next logical step and begin exercising. Your videos were solely responsible in helping me decide to purchase the M7. I was surprised to see your results based on only using it 3 days per week. Was there a reason you didn't use it more often? I've read a lot of reviews from users of the M7 and the average seems to be five days per week.
+Tim Miller sure thing! Awesome to hear Keto worked for you! I have some friends really into that. It was just what I decided to do for the test honestly. 5 times is a bit much honestly if you're doing other exercise too. I was lifting weights as well. If that's all your doing, I'm sure 5 is more manageable.
Happy to hear your progress and hope the M7 does great for you!
This was an awesome comprehensive review of results. It takes effort to make a video like this and I thank you for that effort and the help it has given me in deciding on which machine to buy, a BowFlex or a knockoff Proline.
I do have some questions I hope you can answer. (1) M7 vs M5 is the M7 worth the premium price jump? (2) Does the M5 still have he computerized 14 min interval system etc? (3) given what you know now is the M7 still the one to get or would the M5 done as good a job?
Lastly, how’s your results are you still using the machine?
Cheers man! Great review!
+diggydaz2007 hey thanks! I think the M5 is fine personally. It does still have the 14 min mode which is the only mode I use. The M7 is built a little better, but my brothers M5 still runs fine and he loves it still.
I do still use it for cardio after a workout and I have been a little off my routine with the holidays but I'm jumping back in now.
Hope that helps!
You looked closer to 25 percent body fat in the beginning but thanks for the video . This things insanely expensive but I'm thinking about it or just keep using the strider and elliptical at my gym for free I just did cardio the first time yesterday. Also that's not a judgement opinion I'm 30 percent body fat
What were the settings at? Mine only said I burned 40 calories and I went fast on the sprint on my first workout
GOT APPROVED FOR THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM!
Congrats! Good luck
The Search For Awesome THANK YOU MUCH!
Great video!! but how many calories burned in a 14 minute session!? You only have to do it 14 minutes per day to lose weight? This seems like such a great machine
Can you connect phone or tablet to listen to your own music or watch youtube? Does it have a holder for phone and or tablet?
Do you still have your Max? If so, please, please, please do a 12 month review, even if it is just the jog scene! Found this channel as I am thinking of buying one. I am concerned it will just be left in the garage unused...
I love mine. I have the older model and bought it used. If you you stay dedicated, it's a life-changer. It's essentially a stairstepper but lightweight compared to the ones at the gym.
Awesome
How has your machine held up (and how heavy has your use of it been)? I've been on the fence for a few days about buying an M5 or M6, but I see quite a few reviews about knocking, or flywheel parts and belts breaking.
Still works great! I use it about twice a week. I need to up it in January :)
Great review. Do you warm up before using the bowflex? I have the machine, I’m just scared of it because its intense workout.
No I don't warm up, but it couldn't hurt to warm up a little
It is very intense, I'm intimidated to get on it. I haven't been on it in a year and it shows. I'm back on it now for two days,. I haven't completed a continuous 14 minutes. I give myself a week to get it together. I love it and hate it.
