I'm more leaned towards each machine only doing one thing instead of one machine that does like 20. It's just easier that way. It'd get confusing with tryibng to memorize how to do each thing on one machine. I hate bowflexes with a passion. I am a weight room lover. I can stand to even look at bowflexes. I can't stand this thread. Yup I am leaving this thread forever.

My bad Llance...I didn't think about the fact that most older people (no offense) don't have access to a real weight room. In which case is the only time I would say for someone to get a bowflex. I wouldn't go with an expensive one for right now. This way if you do use it alot and find it good for you to use and you know for sure you're gonna be using it, then you should go ahead and get a more elegant, more expensive one.
Better input this time? :P

I've been using them every other day but I've only had them a couple of weeks. I'm on the treadmill every day now for about a month and a half, but it collected dust for a long time before I started using it. Cyndi used it occasionally before, but not regularly.
I quit smoking a year and a half ago and now it's time to improve again. A month and a half ago I would huff and puff taking the garbage to the curb. Now I can jog it and not break a sweat. I even raced Cyndi up the escalator at Sears the other day.
And I must say, with my new found motivation, Cyndi as redoubled her efforts at dropping a few more pounds and getting in better shape too.
