Best Bowflex exercises for increasing bone density?

by Patricia
(Chicopee, MA)

I am a 57-year-old grandmother. I have been using a Bowflex now for about 8 years. My workout on the Bowflex is only about 20-30 min. in the early A.M. Does anyone know which exercises are the best exercises to be done on the Bowflex that will help increase my bone density?

Answer - Hi Patricia, congratulations on working out for 8+ years


Compound Bowflex exercises can enable you to use more resistance and train more of your body - in one exercise.

Compound Bowflex exercises move multiple joints in one exercise:

For example:

Isolation exercise - Leg extensions only move your knee joint

Compound exercise - Squats incorporate your hip, knee, and ankle joints


Best "Weight Bearing" Bowflex Exercises:

Legs - Squats
Chest - Bench press
Back - Bent rows
Shoulders - Shoulder press
Calves - Standing calf raises
Biceps - Standing biceps curls
Triceps - Close-grip bench press


Hope this helps Patricia
