XTLU...Good Stuff, worth every penny if you use it.

I've had my bowflex for about 8 years now and used it regularly, with time off for injuries unrelated to the Bowflex. I'm not about bulking up (since I gave up on playing football in my early college years due to a neck and back injury). I'm now in my 50's and at 6'2", I weigh in at 190lbs.

I wear a size 44 sport coat and have a 33" waist, so I still have a problem getting fitted for suits. I use an elliptical trainer in conjunction with the Bowflex and workout for about an hour, three or four times a week. I do have my cocktails but don't need to restrict my diet in a big way to maintain my weight. The key is staying with it and taking a break from it every now and then to allow the body to recover/maintain muscle stability. EDIT...OOPS, I didn't realize this was a womens health and fitness page.
