Bowflex XTL is one of the best home fitness equipment in the market, which in contrast to traditional home training apparatus is not based on lifting free weights, but it is constructed on the basis of the advanced Power Rod resistance technology, which offers resistance from elongated bending rods which stretch up from the back frame of the apparatus. It is very easy to start doing an exercise and slowly but surely it becomes more difficult to do it as the rod tension grows. This home training apparatus is as good as it is comfortable. It can be used by everybody, men, women and children.

With the Bowflex XTL you can work out each muscle group separately, you can perform a wide variety of exercises for chest, shoulders, arms and legs, back and abdomen.
With its simple design the fitness machine looks very fine. The Bowflex needs the space about 83.5 inches high, 92 inches long and 23 inches wide. The bending Power Rods are made of special material and covered with a protective rubber coating. Each Power Rod has a special “weight” mark, starting from 5 pounds and up to 50 pounds. For you to create the needed level of resistance you can use only one rod or several ones combined. On the whole the Bowflex is able to supply resistance of 210 pounds. You can buy more sets if you wish to increase “weight”. It is possible to upgrade the capacity up to 310 or 410 pounds.
