Does the Bowflex Ultimate 2 easily fold up for storage like the original Bowflex?

yes the bowflex ultimate 2 folds like the original, it has a couple drawbacks that i think they would have improved upon, for one its still heavy and two its cumbersome and awkward to carry.

Gotta get the body dome, otherwise known as a BOSU BALL instead of a wobble board. WHY? there are two side to a bosu ball. When you are just starting out with your core workouts you stand on the dome, flat side down. this is the beginner way. As you get better, this will be too easy so you flip the bosu ball over and now stand on the flat surface, ball side down. As you improve further, move your feet in closer together. WHEE! LOTSA FUN< HARD WORK!\n A wobble board has one level of difficulty, not very adaptable to skill level improvements.

I have worked out both on the revolution and the older bow flex model. Both are a great substitute for free weights. They both require they use of stabilizing muscles unlike most machine which in turn provide a better work out than most machines. If you cannot afford a gym membership I feel like this is the most economic solution. It is worth the price for for results.

On my second Dahon now and absolutely love it. I have the Expresso model which is a 26" like the Jack. The reason that I didn't get the Jack is because the Expresso is a better bike for hills. I have never had an issue with my Dahon even after a one time crash. No one has ever noticed that it was a foldup bike! I did a lot of research on all the folding bikes before I decided on the Dahon. The link below is the best bike shop for price and service that I've dealt with. If you have any questions just e-mail me.

I personally like the one where you use free weights and lie on your back then bring the weights out to your sides and then bring them up above your chest and squeeze your chest together... make sure to keep straight arms.

Please do not starve yourself or throw your food up.  That will kill you.  Even if it will work, you will not be alive long enough for it to matter.  I started working out on a bowflex.  My stomach is getting flatter.  Just eat healthy and work out.  Lay on the floor, put your hands under your butt and move your legs up and down.  That will also work your abs.

I just bought it off Amazon, I have not tried it yet, but it is supposed to be a great work out to begin with. Not for people who already work out on a regular basis. You need to have a remote to work it, and  I need to get one, that is the only reason I did not try it yet.

If you don't use it, it is.  You have to like weight-lifting type exercises.\nI love mine.

I used the crossbow, which is very similiar to the bowflex...I tried the bowflex and it's more or less the same thing, i liked the crossbow a little better because you can change the resistance quicker and go to different exercises faster if you want to do a bunch of reps and go to each exercise without a break (can't think of the type of workout that is off for some reason at the moment)...ANYWAYS...as far as quality goes, i think the bowflex is top notch, you can't go wrong and it's definitely a good workout...free weights will give you more of bulky muscles, bowflex will give you more lean muscle....i don't know where you're from, but there is a place called Dicks Sporting goods that has a bowflex on display where you can try it...i think it would be worth your investment to get a bowflex

There are several folding methods (check out http://community.livejournal.com/menstrual_cups/453392.html?page=1#comments )  I like the "oragami" fold the best.  The C fold that's recomended by diva cup was impossible for me.  Basically you fold it, insert, and adjust for comfort.  It stays down lower than a tampon, but if it's in right you can't feel it.\nYou do have to be comfortable with your body, because it takes a lot of reaching up in there, especially to take it out, but it only took one cycle to get it down for me.

Anything that you actually use and continue to use is good. I have a Bowflex Sport, freeweights (straight bar, curl bar, dumbbell handles and variety of plates), exercise tower (for pull-ups, vertical knee/leg raises, dips),  swiss ball,  treadmill,  step-ercise (with video), and a yoga mat and blocks. I get quite a variety with all this, and have a hard time getting bored with my workout. When I do, I put together a new routine. I may not use everything for every exercise routine I put together, but I do use them off and on.\n\nOn top of all this, I also have a membership at the local YMCA, and go there to workout sometimes.

Thats easy. All you do is put a few Gymnastics mats infront of u, and run, lunge put ur hands on the mat as if u were doing a really fast hand stand bridge pull up. ITs really easy. warning: dont try this w/o adult supervision and do not try this w/o a trained gymnastics teacher.

I recently tried one that belonged to a close friend of mine.  I really liked it.  I've had several back surgeries which failed and as a result, I am no longer able to do exercises such as sit-ups and crunches.  The AB Lounge takes all the pressure off your back and you can exercise without strain.  I would reccommend it to anyone!  I can't wait till I can save enough to buy one myself.
