Hints That Are Helpful To Lose Weight on a Bowflex

By Chris Dean

Working out on a bowflex treadclimber for just twenty minutes a day can bring about great results. On the high setting you can burn six hundred to seven hundred calories and hour. If you do that twenty minutes a day it can equate into a few pounds lost by the end of the week. You need to watch your diet and make sure you eat the right amount of calories for your body at this time to see the best results.

The elliptical can burn anywhere from 400-500 calories on the normal setting and is very easy on the joints and is less strenuous. It is another motion to choose from.

Weight training in conjunction with aerobic exercise is a phenomenal way to lose weight and build muscle. When your metabolism is increased you burn calories faster and burn more fat. Lean muscle burns fat more efficiently. A pound of muscle can burn about six calories a day, but it can be as high as twenty or thirty depending on your age, gender, and workout program.

Building muscle mass increases in time and as your workouts become harder. You need to do extra repetitions and increase resistance as you become stronger. Remember to let your body rest. When beginning try not to overwork a specific muscle group. It is a good idea to alternate muscle groups when you start lifting.

Bowflex home gyms have a wide range of exercises you can do. There are close to 100 exercises just on the bowflex extreme 2. Try to change up your workout from time to time so you won't get bored with exercising.

To see the best results on your body you need to do cardio workouts and weight resistance training. If you have been inactive for a long time make sure you consult your doctor before working out. They will provide you with information and a plan designed just for you so that you can best lose weight.
