62 Introduction The Bowflex® Body Leanness Program This program is scientifically designed for ­maximal fat loss over six weeks. It is important that you practice every aspect of the plan to achieve optimum results. The program separates into three two-week stages. During each stage you will exercise, ­control the number and quality of calories you consume, and drink plenty of ice-cold water. Before starting the exercise routine you must be familiar with your Bowflex Ultimate® 2. You should ­experiment with finding the proper amount of resistance to use on each exercise. You should be able to perform 8 ­repetitions, but not more than 12 repetitions, for each exercise. It is essential that you learn how to ­perform each movement before trying a complete circuit, because part of the effectiveness of the training depends on ­minimal rest between each exercise. WARNING! Before beginning this program consult your physician or health care professional. Show this plan and your Bowflex Ultimate® 2 Owner's Manual to your physician or health care pro­fessional. Only he or she can determine if this course is appropriate for your particular age and condition. If you ­experience any light-headedness, dizziness, or ­shortness of breath while exercising, stop the ­movement and consult a ­physician. Make sure you read your Bowflex Ultimate® 2 Owner's Manual BEFORE attempting a workout. There are a few people who should not try this program: Children and teenagers; pregnant women; women who are breast feeding; diabetics; individuals with certain types of heart, liver, or ­kidney disease; and those suffering from certain types of arthritis. This should not be taken as an all ­inclusive list. Some people should follow the course only with their physician's specific guidance. Play it safe and consult a health care ­professional.
