Introduction

The Bowflex Blaze home gym is equipped to work all major muscle groups including upper body, lower body and the heart.

With that being said the home gym does not target abs which is a major drawback for some.

Ultimately, the Bowflex Blaze is strongly suited to strength training and not near as adept for cardiovascular activities (though there are some you can do with this trainer).

Home Gym Workouts

Sixty exercises are included with the Bowflex Blaze home gym including the 20 minute Bowflex Blaze workout.

Bowflex stands behind its commitment to give you fast results by working out 20 minutes a day, three times a week.

The Bowflex Blaze exercises concentrate on providing exercises that burn calories, sculpt your muscles and keep you fit.

The purchase of a Bowflex Blaze also includes a Workout DVD.

If you’re new to home gyms and/or strength training in general the Bowflex Blaze includes an owner’s manual with detailed instructions for each exercise.
