Product Description
THE BOWFLEX BODY PLAN
Discover the super secrets for getting the most out of the hottest home workout machine ever.
We've all seen those attractive Bowflex bodies on television. Well, you don't have to resemble a model to achieve a Bowflex body. Now, you can apply the complete science behind what it takes to get that lean, muscular look. The course of action you're holding in your hands contains the best-possible routines and practices that, combined, cause greater and faster results.
The Bowflex exercise system is based on the simple bow-and-arrow principle. Its patented Power Rod technology flexes and extends to provide force or resistance, part of your week-by-week workouts, which focus on all major muscle groups. Merge the recommended Bowflex routines with Dr. Ellington Darden's guidelines on eating, hydrating, and resting, and you'll be well on your way to getting the results you've always wanted.
In addition to four fat-loss meal plans, you'll find complete programs for out-of-shape athletes, women who want to reduce their hips and thighs, and individuals who wish to focus on their abdominals. Choose the one that's right for you, depending on your age, experience, body type, and personal goals. Throughout these pages you'll be inspired by reports and photographs of real results from real people using a real Bowflex machine.
With a little discipline and patience, you'll see your extra fat begin to vanish, revealing your muscles' lean lines. In only six weeks, a man could drop 35 pounds of fat and 5 inches from his waist. A woman could lose 19 pounds of fat and 4 inches from her thighs. And both can build 3 pounds of muscle. Best of all, you will experience strength, firmness, and muscular refinement as never before.
Elegant, instructive photographs of Dr. Darden's top 23 Bowflex exercises make this the ideal fitness manual for both men and women-- those who already use the Bowflex system as well as the many new users of this fast-growing home-exercise system. The only authorized book on the subject, The Bowflex Body Plan will help you lose fat, build muscle, and reshape your body-- fast.
Soon you will have the results you've always wanted. Soon you will have a Bowflex body.

 Great Book June 24, 2008
I love this book.
I know that some people have stated that this book is just like the manual that comes with the Bowflex. That is only true if you just skim this book.
This book gives better pictures of the 23 exercises that he recommends. The exercises are for the Bowflex Ultimate. However, you can use these on the Power Pro with the right attachments.
He provides multiple routines plus an awesome chapter on breakdowns, double pre-exhaustion, and negatives. When you really look at this chapter you realize that there are more than 23 exercises because of the way you perform these routines.
The only negative about this book is the extra fluff. I believe it is there in order to convert you to the HIT philosophy. Since HIT goes against the grain of what most people have been told about weight lifting I get the feeling DR. Darden feels that he needs to convince you with all the extra pages that it works.
Once you are sold on HIT those extra pages just get in the way of the meat of this book.
If you follow the leanness program in the Bowflex manual to the letter and you have no intentions to work on sculpting your body then this book is probably not for you.
However, if you want to sculpt your body, work on strength training, and target your problem areas (arms,chest,abs) then this book is a must.
 Severely Outdated May 7, 2008
This book contains much useful information but is severely outdated. Bowflex no longer makes the equipment featured in this book. If you have the manuals and DVD that came with your Bowflex, you probably don't need this book.
Almost like the user manual February 23, 2008

This pretty much has what is in the user manual you get with the machine. There are a few other exercises in it and more backgroung info. It's good to get if you've lost your manual or if you want a sturdier, hardback copy.
Very Motivating and Easy Read February 18, 2008

I am almost finished with this book and I must say that I expected to drift away page after page. I was suprised that it kept me motivated and it makes me a believer that it really is not that difficult to get the results I want if I stick to a very simple routine!
Thanks Bowflex Body Plan February 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
We bought a Bowflex used and didn't know where to start. This book gave us a plan to use. Starts off with only a few exercises to master the form and get used to. Then after two weeks adds two more, etc. etc. Gives different routines for people in good shape looking to work on certain areas. It also offers dieting advice!!! Before and after stories with pictures!!! Nice book!!!
