ACHIEVING A BOWFLEX BODY
The bending Power Rods supply resistance to Andy's clearly defined pectorals as his hands move across his torso.
As Angela's legs arc backward, shapely hamstrings show the effect of isolated leg curls.
With the Power Rods straightening, Andy's taut abdominals stretch and ready for another contraction.
Angela's legs extend against roller pads and her quadriceps separate into distinctive muscles that streamline her frontal thighs.
Andy's final repetition on the standing curl reveals a rounded biceps, whose strength perfectly matches the machine's force.
Andy McCutcheon, age thirty-six, and Angela Kenaston, age thirty-two, are pictured on the cover and throughout this book. Since 1999, they have been featured in many of the Bowflex television advertisements. Both Andy and Angela have trained intensely to build a Bowflex body.
A Bowflex body requires leanness and strength--a minimum of fat and above- average muscular development. Exercising, eating, hydrating, and resting-- in precise amounts--are necessary to produce this look efficiently.
But let's face it. Not everyone has the genetics to look like Andy or Angela. Yet everyone can improve his or her body significantly. You don't have to resemble a cover model to achieve a Bowflex body. You just have to apply yourself as you eat smarter and train progressively on your Bowflex machine. With a little discipline and patience, you'll be amazed at the transformations that occur to your physique.
The book you're holding in your hands contains the best-possible, synergistic routines for building muscle and losing fat. Synergy occurs when the practices in this book interact to cause a greater effect than they would individually. This helps you create a leaner, stronger body faster. There are many different plans in this book. Choose one or more depending on your age, experience, body type, and goals. The emphasis in all the plans is always on effectiveness as opposed to novelty.
After only a short time of applying any of the plans, your excess fat will begin to disappear. You'll see your muscles' lean lines as well as subtle separations between body parts. You'll experience strength, firmness, and muscular refinement as never before.
Soon you'll have the results you've always wanted.
Soon you'll have a Bowflex body.
