Common Questions and Answers about Best workout on bowflex

Avatar f tn ve heard a few different opinions on what time of day is best to workout but honestly, the best time to workout is whenever you have time to fit it into your schedule! Personally I workout at all different times. Sometimes I have time to kill in the morning and have enough energy to get in at least a half hour of some kind of cardio (it's rare though because I am not a morning person AT ALL either lol) Other times I do it late at night.
1116556 tn?1345115906 Other than yoga (because it bores me to tears), what exercises work really well for people who experience constant pain? Before my dx, I loved to run and hike. Now, I live with aching pain in my hips to my heels. Walking is painful most of the time... I can't imagine putting on my running shoes again. I'm gaining weight like no one's business, and I'd like to do something about it. A swimming pool would be fabulous, but unfortunately, I don't have access to one.
Avatar f tn I have been really active before getting pregnant also, my doctor told me that if you're already active it is fine to keep doing your regular workouts.. just monitor your heart rate, try not to get above 150. I asked her if boot camp classes and spin is still okay (by two favorite) she said as long and I'm monitoring I can do whatever I feel like as long as it is safe and I am not over heating (no more kick boxing).
Avatar f tn I currently do tae-boe 4 days a week, on the other 3 I do pilates and no exercising on the weekends but do heavy housework. I truly wish to get my physique back but need proper guidence. I have a bowflex machine, treadmill, legpress and lat machine and free weights. My goals: slim down, tone and firm up. I have a belly bulge. I've been exercising for months and haven't seen really any significant changes I'm trying to get some nice definition in my legs.

159619 tn?1707018272 I have been working out daily on a treadmill for 45 - 60 mins and running my heart rate up to approx 85% plus of my max heart rate, around 150-155 bpm. I have been doing this for over a year and lost 60 pounds. My main goal is to be proactive with keeping my heart healthy and loosing a few pounds along the way has been nice as well. My doctor told me this was not necessary and that exercising at this higher than necessary heart rates could cause damage to one's heart.
Avatar f tn i was always going to do this but my husband was against this idea because we have a bowflex, and i treadmill (which i gave to a family member. the bowflex was a gift in which i will keep. I explained to him that going to the gym was a way out of the house.
1483550 tn?1307285764 I was wondering when the best time for eating dinner would be?? Before or after??? So far I have been eating a decent size meal before working out and having a piece of fruit for a snack afterward. About a half hour after my work out my stomach demands food with lots of grumbling.... It's quite annoying! Is this good or not so much? Any advise???
Avatar m tn This is probably a question best answered by your doctor. There are other factors that enter into an answer, such as age, conditioning etc. That being said, I found when taking the type of drugs you are taking that I had difficulty getting my heart rate above 110 bpm. I used what rehab workers called 'perception of difficulty'. Basically, I worked out until I felt a degree of fatigue that was uncomfortable, and backed off a bit.
Avatar f tn Lots of cardio like walking and you can also do the stair stepper. if you lay on your back and workout your legs doing different things that also helps. You can do some squats but only until you feel tired then stop.
Avatar f tn I need help because my best friends getting married and i want to weigh 215 so I can put on my slacks and tuxedo. Also, the wedding is on Dec. 4 , 2014 in Rome and I really want to look and feel good about myself. If anyone has any suggestions or ways for me to lose 15lbs in one month !!!!
Avatar f tn Now they have closed I been trying to do this on my own. I exercise on my bowflex(weights) 3times a week for an hour. I still follow the LA weight loss diet I am now up to 130 and I go down one day up the next. I take one day a week to eat what I like(I always did that) if I dont then I couldn't follow a diet. I dont know what else to do.
Avatar f tn It is often associated with migraine or cluster headaches. However, if it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation and to rule out organic diseases in the brain. It can be managed with medical therapy and avoiding activities that can trigger the headache. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I really recommend pregnancy yoga in your 2nd and 3rd trimester, before that aqua aerobics, swimming, normal yoga and Pilates, gym workout, light jog, stationary bike and cross trainer, anything really as long as you are feeling well and comfortable doing it.
Avatar f tn basically until youre really showing then taper it back accordingly. If youre already active its best to stay that way. You just dont want to add anything to your routine. The doctor will tell you when its no longer safe and to adjust your stride.
Avatar f tn Eat plenty of carbs before workout but don't go overboard. Don't eat carbs after 7pm or so. Eat about 1g of protein for every pound of body weight per day. Fish and lean meat have lots if protein. Protein shakes will help with bulk. Don't use creatine too much, it isn't too good for your heart :/ Of course eat minimal junk food and plenty of fruit and vegtables. There are also supliments called animal cuts you should check out. They're quite good.
Avatar m tn Every third day at work I do a mile on the treadmill or elliptical and work out on the Bowflex, all in all about 30 minutes worth of working out. I feel fine, I have been stressed lately and I do smoke a pack a day. But I had bloodwork last year and it was fine. Not really sure what is going on. My wife is a registered nurse and thinks I have CML. Doctor wants me to return on 3/22/10 for more bloodwork. Please help.
3113201 tn?1341780938 ve tried everything. Supplements I hear about on TV and from doctors, crazy diets, different workout regimens... I don't know what to do. I can't run/jog for long distances because I have severe kyphoscoliosis, two abnormal curvatures to my spine that articulate my rib cage in such an odd position it restricts breathing and lung capacity. My deep breaths are barely stronger than a normal person's regular breath. Thus, cardio is hard for me.
Avatar f tn I really feel motivated to exercise and workout the muscles that haven't been used in probably 8 years. lol! Back when I was 14-17 I would join my father in the gym, but his trainer gave me different things to do to just be fit and toned. I do have some equipment at my house and my husband works crazy hours so we can't just go to a gym. Plus, I would like to look semi-decent to be able to even show up at a gym. (Yea, I've let myself go that bad.
Avatar f tn I don't think covid makes this issue any different. Anyone who does anything has to find the motivation to do it. Either it's because you want to do it or your force yourself because it's good for you. But the best motivation is to find a way to do both work and exercise that you actually like to do. So many people force themselves into forms of exercise that they don't like to do, and that's drudgery.
Avatar f tn How does everyone workout everyday to stay fit? I am a FTM and I want to stay fit and not lay around the house everyday gaining weight. So can y'all help me ? Please .
