A personal guarantee from Dr. Ellington Darden
Dear Bowflex ® Enthusiast,
I’m excited, really excited! I’m elated because I’ve researched and developed an exercise and
eating program that produces fat loss faster than any plan I’ve ever tested.
For example, the men involved in my research project had an average fat loss of 27.95 pounds
(12.68 kg) per man. Women on the same program averaged a reduction of 16.96 pounds (7.69
kg). Best of all, these dramatic results were achieved – not in six months – but in only six weeks!
That’s right – just six short weeks. Similar results can be
accomplished by you in six weeks when you follow my fitness
and nutrition program.
Bowflex ® home gyms were a significant part of my research results.
The exercises in my program, performed on a Bowflex ® machine – 18 workouts (3 per week)
– allowed the participants to build muscle, which accelerated their metabolisms, and produced
faster and greater fat losses. The plan worked so well that it became know as The Bowflex ® Body
Leanness Program.
Obtaining leanness means to strip away the fat from under the skin as well as at deeper levels.
Leanness also implies a pleasing shape and tone to the skeletal muscles. You might say leanness
is the opposite of fatness. The people involved in my research certainly got rid of their excessive
fatness in record time.
All the guidelines that were applied to my research, including simple exercise instructions and
specific menus to use, have been organized in the booklet you are now holding in your hands.
It’s the next best thing to actually going through one of my research projects. In fact, it’s probably
better since nothing is experimental. All of the fine points have been tried, tested and proven
effective.
If you are overfat, and if you are interested in doing this program, there are several things you
need to understand about my experience. Since 1965, I’ve trained more than 10,000 overfat
individuals. After many years of pushing, coaxing, and listening to these trainees, certain traits
became evident to me:
• People are not lazy by choice. They are forced into it by the confusion that surrounds the
abundance of fitness information that is available. If these individuals are given simple
decisive instructions, they will train very intensely.
• People, if they are provided with specific menus, will drastically alter their eating habits.
• Most of these people, however, will do neither of these challenging things for more than a
week – unless they quickly see and feel changes in their body.
The Bowflex ® Body Leanness Program emerged from these findings.
If you want to get the best-possible results from this program, you must be willing to exercise very
intensely on the Bowflex ® machine and adhere to a strict eating plan. In return, you’ll get my
guarantee that if you follow the program exactly as directed, you’ll observe the pounds and inches
disappear on almost a weekly basis.
Now it’s your turn to get excited, and get started!
Sincerely,
Dr. Ellington Darden
