When working out on a Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym, the proper order in which you exercise should always be maintained. This order on a Bowflex PR3000 has been designed with the large muscle group, compound exercises first, the smaller muscle isolation exercises following and with alternating ‘push’ and ‘pull’ to achieve a session that alternates muscle groups and modes of action as much as possible to enable maximum rest and recovery of the various muscle groups. Here are some examples of compound, isolation and push and pull exercises on a Bowflex: Squat - compound - push, Seated cable row – compound - pull, Triceps pushdown – isolation - push, Lat pulldown – compound - pull.

The basis of strength and conditioning on a Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym is progressive overload. It takes some skill to judge the point at which overload increasingly heavier weight, is building capacity yet not making you too sore, ill or fatigued to continue. That’s why it’s very important to start slowly and build. When in doubt, take a rest, miss a session but don’t alter the program detail, the reps and sets, if you can help it. The squat and deadlift can be very taxing, so be careful not to lift too heavy for a start. Always remember don’t skip the warmup and cool down, because these actions will help prevent possible injuries.
