Bow FlexFollow

Fair enough, but I'm a big guy, always have been.. I've got a fair amount of muscle underneath all the flab, so I'd rather tone my body first, then build muscle if necessary. It's just a different order of approach, for me.

I have the older model Bowflex (not shown in your link). I guess it's most like the Blaze in it's design.

As far as how it works, love it. I would suggest going with the Xtreme though. The standard/blaze type models take up a ton of room. A few months after I got it, the extreme came out, and I'm kicking them for not letting me know of that little space saver when I purchased mine.

Maybe I'll go with the Extreme 2 like Kaain recommended.

And Tuesday, your own body weight is more than enough while doing squats, just do more. Anyone who knows hockey, knows of Jaromir Jagr and he has huge legs. Does 300 squats a day, no weight. It works. Can also do squat jumps. Very very effective, but need a high ceiling to do them.

And you can burn fat extremely well doing just weights. Just need to keep the pace high enough that you raise the heart rate. Super setting is extremely effective at that and is what I've used in the past to lower myself to about 9-10% body fat at one time. Super setting is taking 2 muscles and working them simultaneously. For example, biceps and shoulders. Do bicep exercise and as soon as you're done, do a shoulder exercise. Then take your 60 second break (45 second if you really want the heart pumping). Then repeat. Of course, eating well is just as important.

And Pinky, I've still got the muscle, I just need to burn off the spare tire I seem to have located. I build mass really easy (can notice a difference in 1 week) but I don't tone so fast, which is why the Bowflex can work for me because I don't need huge weight, just good weight.

My workout consists of balanced beer lifts and cigarette pulls.
