The Bowflex scares me. I think I'll pull one of those levers the wrong way somehow, let go and it'll smack me in the face.

- icey 17y agoI've never understood the fascination with all the high tech machines. They're more expensive and more complicated than something everyone already knows works the best: picking heavy things up and putting them down again.
- puredemo 17y agoDifficult to pick up heavy things with certain muscles, like the triceps, without a pulley system. Anyway, I do think p90x basically consists of listing heavy things.
- icey 17y agoSorry, in re-reading my comment I kind of sounded like a jerk - I promise, it was unintentional. I guess my point was that you can do a heck of a lot for yourself with basic situps / pushups / floor squats with a bag full of books or sand and it doesn't take anything that requires payments to do so.
- anamax 17y agoA machine does two things. (1) It sits there and says "you spent $500 - are you going to use it?" (2) It sits there and gives you another place to hang junk. If (1) works for you, great. BTW - These are two reasons why the "put under your bed" machines are a bad idea. Out of sight, out of mind.
