Bowflex

®

 Body Leanness Program

  Continue your Bowflex

®

 exercise routine at the 

highest level. Perform the same 10 exercises three 

times per week. Try to get as strong as you can 

in each exercise, while always focusing on the 4-

second count in both lifting and lowering.

q .  Im pleased that I lost the fat I wanted to lose . 

What do I do to maintain my new body weight?

A.  Once you’ve lost your excessive fat, your next task 

is to maintain that status. Here are the adjustments 

you need to make to your current practices.

Adhere to a carbohydrate-rich, moderate-calorie  

eating plan . 

Instead of eating from 1000 to 1500 calories a day, 

you’ll be consuming from 1600 to 2400 calories 

per day. Maybe you can eat even more after your 

new body weight has stabilized. Trial-and-error 

experimentation is a must. Women should start 

with 1600 calories, and men with 2000 calories 

per day. Note what happens after a week. If your 

body weight keeps going down, raise the calories 

by 100 or 200, depending on how much weight you 

lost during the last week. Soon, you should reach a 

level where your body weight stabilizes. That level 

is your daily calorie requirement. Naturally, you’ll 

be able to consume other foods than those listed 

in the Bowflex

®

 eating plan. By then, however, you 

should know the value of being a smart shopper 

and  a wise eater. Read labels. Compare nutritional 

information. Be conscious of the ideal 60:20:20 

ratio for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Eat smaller meals more frequently .

You’ve been limiting your five meals per day to 300 

calories if you’re a woman, or 500 calories if you’re 

a man. You may now up the calories by 100. What 

 happens if during a single meal you eat more than 

400 calories if you’re a woman, or 600 calories if 

you’re a man? Don’t panic. Simply understand that 

you will sometimes backslide. Learn to anticipate 

these urges and take corrective action.

Drink at least 1 gallon (3.8 l) of cold water each day. 

You should realize by now the benefits of consuming 

plenty of water each day. Make your water bottle a 

permanent part of your lifestyle.

Train on Bowflex

®

 home gym at least twice a week . 

There are two primary differences between 

maintenance and strength-building routines. First, 

for maintenance, you do not have to increase the 

resistance each week or so. If you can do 100 pounds 

for 12 repetitions on the leg extension, then keep it 

on 100 pounds and do not go up to 105 pounds. You 

can maintain the 100-pound level much easier that 

you can increase it. 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

®

 routines .

Now is the time to introduce more variety to your 

routines by adding some new exercises while 

removing some old ones. Below are two sample 

routines.

Maintenance Routine 1

6. Shoulder Pullover

7. Shoulder Shrug

8. Standing Biceps Curl

9. Seated Wrist Curl

10. Seated Wrist Extension

Maintenance Routine 2

2. Leg Extension

3. Standing Lateral Shoulder Raise

4. Seated Shoulder Press

5. Rear Deltoid Row

6. Decline Press

7. Reverse Curl

8. Seated Triceps Extension

9. Low Back Extension

10. Abdominal Crunch

Look in your Bowflex

®

 Owner’s Manual for 

descriptions of the new exercises.

Be consistent with your Bowflex

®

 home gym exer-

cising, healthy eating, and superhydrating – and your 

accomplishments may well exceed your goals.
