So, my friend needs to lose a few pounds (20-30) in about 2 months. He is going to start running with 2 pairs of sweatpants and 2 pairs of sweatshirts on (well, one is a hoodie-type thing), but he doesn't know when to run. Down here, it usually gets up to mid/high-80s low-90s in the day time, and goes down at night to high-70s low/mid-80s.
He also eats decently... 2 eggs, glass of milk, and some wheat cereal for breakfast, usually just an orange or two or an egg sammich for lunch, and some for of meat and veggie for dinner (usually deer meat or chicken).
His workout schedule is somewhat...needing improvements, to put it lightly. He doesn't go to the gym, because he doesn't have the time (works about 10-14 hrs a day everyday except Sunday),but instead he has a very small home gym. He does some DB bench presses, and crunches on one day, then some deadlifts and crunches 2 days after, then some squats and crunches, and sometimes he will do some leg curls or whatever you call them; every 2 days he alternates if you haven't figured that out. Also, he only has 120lbs of weights.
Lastly, the question about workout machines...
How good is a bowflex? I've been thinking about getting one, and I'm just wondering if it is worthwhile or not. If it is good, I will probably be getting http://www.bowflex.com/mMachineDetail.asp?productID=6800013&productName=Sport%26%23153%3B&linkID=6
