mgk36 says "Bowflex - Better than the rest but not all what the TV ads claim" about Bowflex Xtreme Se Gym

I am sure all, or most of you have seen the Bowflex TV commercial, about an overweight person loosing a ton of weight and getting a 6-pack in no-time. Thats Bull! Well, maybe possible if you can dedicate atleast 6 hours of your day to workingout with the Bowflex. Well i cant do that, I have a life.

I bought the Bowflex extreme SE earlier this year. I was just browsing around to see what I can add to my home gym and i noticed that bowflex was having a % off and free shipping sale that was to end in approx. 2 hours and 12 mins. I took the bait and ordered the Bowflex.

I bought this product on amazon.com about 5 months ago. The shipment arrived promptly and I had to schedule a date and time for delivery as they will not leave it unsigned in front of the house. Took me about 2 hours or so (working by myself) to put this together. Instructions are fairly simple and comes with all the required tools.

It is a great product and is pretty effective, I could feel the difference in my lower body in about 2 weeks or so. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. I have used the more expensive, club quality precor elliptical trainers (@ $3000.00) and have found this much more better and effective. The only drawback would be the calorie counter and the distance/speed counter (this is a common issue with most equipment including treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals, stair climbers, and all). Deducting 25% from the calorie counter will give a much more accurate measure......
