I recently purchased a used Bowflex and I am wondering if anyone can point me to workouts that I could be doing. I'm a tall woman, 30 years old, BMI is normal, but need to work on getting back muscle tone and a tighter figure. My middle area holds my extra weight. Links to websites with photos are even better, but general lists of workout exercises are great too. THANKS!!

In general, women do the same exercises as men. Unless you are taking testosterone injections or are unusually butch, you won't have to worry about looking pumped up, no matter how many exercises you do.
You may want to start out slowly with the larger muscles groups (lat pulldown, chest fly, leg press, abs crunch), paying attention to form and do some cardio to improve your general fitness before starting on the smaller muscle groups. Doing cardio in conjunction with your abdominal exercises is essential for eliminating your middle section jello shakey shakey.
Your Bowflex manual should have a list of specific exercises your machine can do. If you don't have the manual it should be on the website.
Later that day ...
The Bowflex website lists specific exercises. Do them all. Haha!

They are all standard exercises any basic book will show you how to do them, e.g. Weight Training for Dummies.
Normally you would do between 4 and 12 reps. Lower reps with high weight is better for strength training, Higher reps with less weight for endurance training or 8 reps if you are normal or wishy washy.

Exercise or no exercise you won't be able to lose the weight if you don't cut your food intake but we all know that's pretty hard, right? A good appetite suppressant can help you out big time but it has to be natural or you can get into serious heath problems.
I lost 38 lbs in 2 months by using garcinia cambogia extract (FDA approved 100% natural). In my first month 26 and then 12 the second month. I was an emotional eater and these supplements changed my life. They act like an appetite suppressant so I didn't feel like eating anymore. Not hungry anymore -> Lower calories -> Lose weight, simple as that. I did no exercises just 20 minutes walks 5 days a week.
It's been 4 months since I lost the weight and I did not gain any pounds back, actually I lost another 5 lbs (I stop taking them after I lost the weight). If you want to take a look here is a website where you can find discounts: http://www.garciniacambogiapromo.com I got them 30% off from here. Hope this helps!

Did you get the book with it? That lists every exercise. They aren't sex-specific.
I have the Bowflex Ultimate. If that's the one you have I'll scan it in and email to you.

Watch this video at http://www.customizedfatloss.link to learn how you can lose belly fat and get six pack abs in a short period of time. It will blow your mind. I was able to lose the belly fat and get ripped in only 6 weeks.
You will also have access to a fully customizable online weight loss software system which uses body type, age, sex, weight and current fitness level to determine the most appropriate amount of food to eat and when. It also includes a training program specific to your body type. Good luck!

Get hold of a plant for your office—watering it will eventually make you more active.
