  • Page 61 The exercises in my program, performed on a Bowflex – allowed the participants to build muscle, which accelerated their metabolisms, and produced faster and greater fat losses. The plan worked so well that it became know as The Bowflex Leanness Program.
  • Page 62 Before beginning this program consult your physician or healthcare professional. Show this plan and your Bowflex to your physician or healthcare professional. Only he or she can determine if this course is appropriate for your particular age and condition.

  • Page 64 Skinfold Measurements To accurately track your progress through this six-week program, it is necessary to take skinfold measurements. By measuring yourself in this way, you will be able to determine your lean-body mass and your body-fat percentage. The goal of this program is to increase your lean-body mass and decrease your body-fat percentage. Please read this section carefully.
  • Page 65 Using Calipers When Measuring Skinfolds The procedure for measuring skinfold thickness is to grasp firmly with the thumb and forefinger a fold of skin and surface fat and pull it away from the underlying muscle. Take the caliper in your other hand and open the jaws.

  • Page 66: Determining Your Body Fat

    Determining Your Body Fat To Use The Nomogram: 1) Locate the sum of your three skinfolds in the right column and mark it. 2) Locate your age in years on the far left column and mark it. 3) Connect the two marks with a straightedge. Where the straightedge intersects the line in the middle column appropriate to you, you will find your body-fat percentage.
  • Page 67 Calculating Lean Body Mass Now that you know your body-fat percentage, you can calculate your lean-body percentage. This will eventually show you how many pounds of muscle were added to your body, after completing the program. For Example: Before the program, Joe weighs 200 pounds (90.7 kg) and measures 30% fat, which amounts to 60 pounds (27.2 kg).

  • Page 69 GUIDELINES Week 1&2 All exercises should be practiced with one set of 8 to 12 repetitions. The style of performance is very important. The movement for each repetition should be 4 seconds in the positive phase and 4 seconds in the negative.
  • Page 70 You will be following a reduced-calorie nutrition program, which is divided into three two-week segments. The program is a proven method for achieving maximal fat loss over a six-week period. It consists of a carbohydrate- rich, descending-calorie eating plan and a superhydration routine. Follow a Carbohydrate-Rich, Descending-Calorie Eating Plan: Approximately 60 percent of the daily calories should be from carbohydrates.
  • Page 71 Superhydrate Your System Drinking plenty of water is essential to the success of this program. Drinking the recommended amount of water can seem like a challenge at first. Stick with it. Carry a large sports bottle or similar item with you throughout the day.
  • Page 72 The menus in the Bowflex eating plan are designed ® for maximum fat-loss effectiveness and nutritional value. For best results, follow them exactly. Every attempt has been made to utilize current popular brand names and accurate calorie counts, which are listed in the menus. But as you probably realize the products are sometimes changed or discontinued.

  • Page 76 ® Q. I’m afraid that I might get large, unfeminine muscles from some of the Bowflex you recommend in this course. What can I do to prevent this from happening? A. You are worrying about large muscles unnecessar- ily.
  • Page 77 Q. Why is it so important I perform the Bowflex exercises with a 4-second count on the lifting and lowering? A. Because a slow, smooth 4-second lifting followed by a 4-second lowering involves more muscle fibers more thoroughly than faster speeds of movement.
  • Page 78 Second, you do not need to train three times a week. You can maintain your strength at twice a week. Add variety to your Bowflex Now is the time to introduce more variety to your routines by adding some new exercises while removing some old ones.
