The Bowflex® body leanness program

This program is scientifically designed for ­maximal fat loss over a period of six weeks. It is important that you practice every aspect of the plan to achieve optimum results.

The program separates into three two-week stages. During each stage you

will exercise, control­ the number and quality of calories you consume, and drink plenty of ice-cold water.

Before starting the exercise routine you must be familiar with your

Bowflex® home gym. You should experiment­ with finding the proper

amount of resistance to use on each exercise. You should be able to perform 8 ­repetitions, but not

more than 12 repetitions, for each exercise. It is essential that you learn how to perform­ each movement before trying a complete circuit, because part of the effectiveness of the training depends on ­minimal rest between each exercise.

WARNING!

Before beginning this program consult your physician or healthcare professional. Show this plan and your Bowflex® Owner’s Manual to your physician or healthcare professional. Only he or she can determine if this

course is appropriate for your particular age and condition. If you experience­ any light-­ headedness, dizziness,

or shortness­ of breath while exercising, stop the movement­ and consult a physician­ .

Make sure you read your Bowflex® Owner’s Manual BEFORE attempting a workout.

There are a few people who should not try this program: Children and teenagers; pregnant women;

women who are breast feeding; diabetics; individuals with certain types of heart, liver, or kidney­ disease; and those suffering from certain types of arthritis. This should not be taken as an all inclusive­ list. Some people should follow the course only with their physician’s specific guidance. Play it safe and consult a healthcare ­professional.
