Baseball Training Routines
What’s a good bowflex xtreme workout routine? ?
I just got my bowflex and theres so many different workouts it baffles me. I use to train for baseball and now I just need to train for muscle and tone. I’m looking for a full body workout and I can workout 5+ days a week. If anyone can help me plan a workout it would be greatly appreciated.
I think I an going to buy the i-Trainer. Of my search for the same question, for the same machine, I found the following (below) at bowflexinsider. The advice seemed to minimize changing and maximizing the workout:
The first exercise is the seated leg press on the bench model Bowflex® machines. Do the squat if you have an upright machine (Xtreme line). The leg press and squat not only hit the quads, but they also work the glutes and hamstrings when hip extension and knee extension are performed.
From that exercise, you can move right into the seated or standing calf raise. This is an easy transition from a leg press or squat by stabilizing the knee and hip while performing ankle plantar flexion.
From there, lock the seat in place on the bench models, or disconnect the bar and hook up the handles to the cables coming from the lower pulleys and do a lat row from a seated or standing position. This exercise not only hits the lats, but also the biceps and numerous trunk stabilizers.
Now put on the bench and sit sideways, or stand off to one side of the upright Bowflex models and do a trunk rotation. This exercise hits all of the core muscles from front to back. Just remember to turn the other direction to do the other side.
Last, but not least, you need to hit the chest and triceps by doing a seated chest press. This exercise also puts tension on the anterior deltoid giving you a well rounded finishing exercise.
Make the least amount of changeovers and use as little time possible in between exercises to add a little cardio benefit. Got 20, give me 5!!!
