Discussion: Bowflex

My home gym has 2 wide cable pulleys too, even though it uses weights, so the workouts are probably similar.
I also use dumbells and kettlebells, but don’t push anything hard any more.

I thought it was going to be like a mix between an elliptical and the old Nordic trak 'X-country ski' thing.

Not elliptical... more of a stair/step machine with the option of adding 'dips' or Lat-work (push-pull) - depending on where you hold the handles and how hard you choose to work them.

Oh, not the bowflex thing I was thinking about at all. I thought it was one of these:

Nope
One of these :-)
