I am working full time, and going to school part time to become a licensed massage therapist. I need to get back into better shape to perform well in massage, and, of course, to stay healthy.
A friend at work has a bowflex that's 4-5 years old, and she said she's only asking 200-300 dollars for it.
I am trying to work my way back into Ashtanga yoga (which can be quite aerobic.) If I get the bowflex, I'd like to alternate between yoga and the bowflex.
I've read that the bowflex isn't great for building muscle mass, and I'm not looking for big muscles, by any means. I'm looking for a low impact way to increase my strength, endurance, and cardio health. Is this a good deal?
Do you think that this would be a good workout schedule for a busy girl, who likes a little variety? Anything I'm missing?
Sidenote: I'm also trying to be more conscious of my eating habits, as well.
Answer:
I am also a massage therapist. I would say the bowflex would be pretty go for what you are wanting. You can get aerobic exercise from jogging or yoga. A bowflex should be plenty to keep muscle tone.
