I bought my Bowflex about five years ago and use it when my back gets bad; having a bad back was one of the reasons for buying it in the first place. Of course, I got busy when my back was feeling ok so I let my program lapse.

Now that I have re-retired ( no more odd-jobbing ) I found my back killing me. Three weeks ago, after putting down a floor for my daughter - the major cause for my painful back, I started back on the Bowflex and already the muscle has strengthened up so that the pain in my back is very subtle and for the most part, I don't feel any of the debilitating pain I had three weeks ago.

I have had a very active sports life so consider myself familiar enough with training routines and basically keep it simple and varied enough to prevent boredom but get the results I need quickly.
