The Bowflex Challenge
By HHI Golf Guy | October 24, 2007
My 43 year old body just isn’t what it used to be. And now that my son is a very active two year old, I have the obligation to get myself in shape and take better care of myself. So the other week I purchased the Bowflex Extreme 2SE.
The manual provides you with a list of over 60 different exercises and a number of different workout routines to choose from depending upon what you hope to accomplish. Since I am 30+ pounds above my weight from my days playing college hockey, I chose the Body Leanness Program.
Of course, one of the key components of this program is changing your diet. The manual provides you with an eating guide, and during the first two weeks of the six week program you are limited to 1,500 calories per day. By week 5 you are down to only 1,300 calories per day. You also need to drink water - a lot of water. I normally drink a half gallon of water per day, but with this program you need to start off at 1 gallon each day. By week 5 you are up tp 1.5 gallons each day.
The workout routine is quick and basic for the first two weeks, and takes only 15-20 minutes. By week five the routine is a bit more intense, and it looks like it will take 20-30 minutes to complete. Interesting enough, workouts are limited to only 3 times per week, and you are not allowed any other excercise on your off days.
The program states that the average weight loss at the end of the 6 week period is 27 pounds. My goal is to lose 30-35 pounds, so if this works it will be a nice start. I’m in week one of the program now, but I will post an update or two with my results.
