Bowflex exercise machines offer a whole-body workout in the comfort of your own home.
The Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gym offers owners the ability to tone and shape their bodies in the comfort of their own home. It offers 95 different exercises with up to 310 pounds of resistance. This workout machine uses cable resistance for your exercises, which allows you to change the amount of weight without having to add or subtract free weights. Adding extra Power Rods, sold separately, will allow you to increase the machine's resistance level to 410 pounds. You are able to work out every muscle set in your body by using the different exercises that the Bowflex Ultimate 2 is capable of doing.
Bench Press
The bench press exercise will work your upper arms and chest. Sit on the bench and lean back, keeping your knees bent and your feet on the floor. Hold a handgrip in each hand and pull down until your hands are level with your chest. Push up with your hands until your arms are straight but stop before your elbows lock. Pull your hands back down to the starting position. Keep your spine straight and your shoulder blades together throughout the exercise.
Row Exercise
This exercise will work your shoulders and upper back muscles. Put the bench on the machine down and straddle the bench facing the machine. Hold the handgrips with your arms straight and palms down. Bend your arms slowly until your elbows are perpendicular to your spine. Pull your elbows a small amount behind your shoulders and then slowly return to the start position. Keep a 90-degree angle between your body and arms while doing this exercise. You can work one arm at a time by placing one hand on the bench.
Pull Downs
Move the bench forward and lie on the bench with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Push your arms through the handgrips and slide the cuffs higher than your elbows. Extend your arms fully by sliding down the bench. Pull your shoulder blades down and slowly bend your elbows down and into your waist. Return to your original position slowly but do not relax your shoulders. This exercise will help you strengthen the muscles in your back and sides.
Wrist Curl
Remove the bench from the machine and straddle the rail facing the Power Rods. Hold the handgrips with your hands down and palms facing forward. Curl your wrists toward your body while you keep your upper arms still. Slowly return your hands to the starting position. The standing wrist curl works the muscles in your lower arms and your biceps.
