Now, you need to know how many sets, reps, and weight to perform each
week. I am going to give you a 12 week workout schedule to follow with
your bowflex machine and the exercises above.
If you follow this schedule and work hard, you will see amazing results.
| Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 |
| Workout 1 | Rest | Workout 2 | Rest | Workout 3 | Rest | Rest |
So, you'll be doing your bowflex workout routine 3 times per week. Lifting weights 3 times per week is great for building muscle. Always use your bowflex to build muscle. Use diet and cardiovascular exercise to lose fat and burn fat, respectively.
The bowflex workout schedule below gives you the number of sets and reps to perform each workout of each week.
| Bowflex | Workout 1 | Workout 2 | Workout 3 | |||
| Week | Sets | Reps | Sets | Reps | Sets | Reps |
| 1 | 1 | 8 | 1 | 12 | 1 | 15 |
| 2 | 2 | 15 | 2 | 15 | 2 | 15 |
| 3 | 3 | 15 | 3 | 15 | 3 | 15 |
| 4 | 1 | 12 | 1 | 12 | 1 | 12 |
| 5 | 2 | 12 | 2 | 12 | 2 | 12 |
| 6 | 3 | 12 | 3 | 12 | 3 | 12 |
| 7 | 1 | 8 | 1 | 8 | 1 | 8 |
| 8 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 8 | 2 | 8 |
| 9 | 3 | 8 | 3 | 8 | 3 | 8 |
| 10 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 5 |
| 11 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 5 |
| 12 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 5 |
Now, the real key to success with the bowflex workout is to start out with light weights and increase the resistance whenever possible.
If you look at the bowflex workout schedule above, you'll notice that the number of reps decreases over the weeks. The reps decrease as shown so you can continue increasing the resistance! This works wonders for building muscle fast.
Rest 60 seconds between sets and exercises. Use the time between sets
that you have to re adjust your bowflex machine for the next exercise.
Free weights are far superior to machines for building muscle and strength. If you have the option, always choose free weights over machines... and that includes the Bowflex -- It is a machine.
A home gym full of free weights won't take up much more space than a bowflex. This is what we recommend if you are building a home gym with free weights:
The above weight training equipment is all the free weight equipment you need to build the perfect home gym.
But, let's say you don't have that option -- let's say you've chosen the Bowflex. The Bowflex will work very well for you. But you need to utilize the free workout for bowflex that we've given you on this page.
