Bowflex Xtreme 2 Q's?

Hello everyone, as a New Year's resolution I've decided to get back in shape and take better care of my body. Lately I've seen a lot of Bowflex infomercials and have become really interested in the product.

My question to you is this...do any of you own the Bowflex Xtreme, Bowflex Xtreme 2, or any other branded Bowflex home gym? And if so, what do you honestly think about it and would you recommend it to others?

I'm not trying to become a professional bodybuilder or anything like that. Just trying to add on some lean muscle while getting back to my fighting weight so to speak. Thanks in advance and I look forward to your suggestions! Peace.

Machines like the bowflex can help you strengthen and build muscle, but they have their limits, and tend to be overpriced for what you get. I personally prefer going to a gym. But if I was going to work out at home, I would get a good set of dumbbells and a weight bench. (A chin-up bar and an attachment for doing legs would be nice but could be added later.) http://www.ironmaster.com/store/home.php... sells a solid adjustable dumbbell system and good adjustable benches.

nothing beats jogging, push-ups, set-ups, lunges, pull-ups and back-ups plus their all free. search the web there are plenty of workouts you can do by using your own body weight.

i gotta extreme, id reccomend it for those looking to build endurance...this wont build lean muscle really, yoll need actual wweights dead weights, go to a gym, save ur $$ buy a membership, then youll have the weights+cardio+etcc..all that for likr 20 bucks a month or a lil more..a gym is more worth it man
