The Bowflex Body Plan Description:

The Bowflex Body Plan review:
3 stars (Mostly the same info packaged better) - I enjoyed reading this book but it was the same information that came with my Bow Flex, just put together in a more organized fashion with a few extra thrown in....
4 stars (The Bowflex Body Plan is Different and It Works) - I ordered this book because the manual that came with my Bowflex didn't have instructions for a few exercises and attachments (like the belt and instructions for the leg extensions)and I was hoping the book would have them. It did.

The book came and my first reaction was... this guy is nuts. I read most of the book thinking it would just get placed on the book shelf with all the other diet books I've collected over the years.

My second reaction was... this is different than all those other books (including the manual) and all those other books aren't working so what do I have to lose but some flab? I'm on my second week following the plan in this book and I've lost around 8 pounds and I can see my arms are toning up. The ice water is good, the diet is do-able and I like doing my light cardio workout after dinner.

I learned a lot of little secrets and I'm really convinced that I can last the initial six week plan and continue on after that with my Bowflex.

If you are doing multiple sets of 12 or more reps with light weights with little results... you'd benefit by getting this book and changing the way you're doing things.
3 stars (Repeats the Bowflex Ultimate Manual) - I bought a used Bowflex and the seller didn't have the manual. I wanted to use the machine properly and ordered a manual from the company, but it was back-ordered so I bought this book. It's well written and the photographs are good, but once the manual arrived I saw the book was pretty much a repeat. If you want a hardback, then buy the book, otherwise buy the manual since it's much less expensive.
