Workouts

Variety is the “spice of life” and many of these exercises can be combined together or problem areas worked on specifically each day.
Whether you are working on your upper body, using stiff-arm pulldowns and tricep extensions, or using calf raises and leg presses to build muscular legs for your next race — the Bowflex PR1000 home gym programs has it all.
Bowflex PR1000 Features
