  1. I've been a Bowflex owner for over 3 years now, best investment I've
    ever made!!! Lost 25lbs my first 8 months on the program and have since
    developed my own routine which has served me well.

    Currently considering the free-weights..

  2. I read your article on getting 6 pack abs. You left a few things out.
    1. When it comes to burning the fat doing cardio you failed to mention that
    the caridio MUST be done at 70% on max heart rate that is the rate the body
    start to burn fat.
    2. You are teaching how to perform the ab exercise incorrect. Before even
    beginning the exercise you must contarct the abs toward the floor for the
    muscles to activate and fatigue The way to teach this to tell the client to
    imagine there is a string attached to the belly button and comes out the
    back, imagine someone is pulling on the string and the abs are being pulled
    into the center of the body. If abs exercise is not done this way two things
    will happen 1. when crunch is done the muscles will get bigger toward the
    front of the abs and a bulge will appear as if the person is getting fat.
    2nd the abs wont get stronger.

    What is your basis for making this statement? Sounds like you are
    propagating an urban myth here. Are you telling us that all the
    concentration camp prisoners that came out looking like skeletons, had
    higher than 70% heart rate all the time?

    On the contrary, the percentage of fat to carbs as the source of energy
    decreases as heart rate increases.

    Oh Puh-lease! Where're my boots? It's getting pretty deep in here.
    Is there any reason you posted this other than to attract derision?
