More than likely a Bowflex is something you are already familiar with. After all they spend millions of dollars in television advertising to persuade us all that we can have that -- Bowflex Body.
Unfortunately, many people cannot afford a Bowflex or don't have a spare room in their home or apartment. So, when I saw that Bodylastics resistance bands was advertising itself as the alternative to Bowflex and other home gyms I decided to investigate.
After all, how can a set of resistance bands compare itself to the Bowflex? Well, if you really look at the Bowflex system it is really just a cable machine. Instead of resistance bands it uses power rods. (Which are made of a rubber polymer.) Pretty much the same thing as latex tubing if you think about it.
The question then becomes for me, can I perform as many exercises with the Bodylastics resistance bands as I can with the Bowflex system?
For example the Bowflex Xtreme SE 2 will allow you to perform 70 strength building exercises.
The Bowflex Ultimate 2, offers over 95 strength building exercises.
The Bodylastics resistance bands offers more than 140 strength building exercises.
The beautiful part is it doesn't take up as much room as a Bowflex. You don't need a lat bar, leg extension attachment, or even a bench. Just grab the door anchor that comes with a set and attach it to your door, a tree or a fence and you are ready to go. Just, by varying your body's position you will be able to perform lat pull downs, chest presses and other exercises that you would probably need a lat bar or a bench to perform.
Bowflex offers a lifetime warranty on their power rods and so does Bodylastics, so there is not much of a difference there. The Bodylastics resistance bands allow you to perform more than 140 exercises and you can attach up to 7 resistance bands to each handle.
So in essence what you have is a set of adjustable dumbbells. With the ankle straps you can easily perform all the leg exercises that you could do on a Bowflex. The door anchor allows you to perform the exercises that you would normally need a Lat Bar or a bench to do.
With so many different home gyms available on the market today it makes sense to shop around. Don't go for all the hype in the television commercials and decide for yourself what makes most sense for your fitness needs and budget.
