Hi, I'm 16 and I decided to start weight training so I purchased the Weider Crossbow Advantage. I was wondering if anybody had any excercise programs for the Crossbow that you have used and are proven to work. If you dont have a specific workout program for the Crossbow could somebody just tell me how many days a week I should be working out and what muscle groups I should be working each day. I would really appreciate your help. Please email me at russianguy@verizon.net
Thanks

Use the FT excercise program - almost all of the excercises can be done on the Crossbow.

I bought a Crossbow about 4 months ago and can definitely see the results. I'll tell you what I started out doing. I do 2 days on and 1 day off. My 'day off' I do abs and cardio.

Day 1 - Chest Fly, Chest Press, Standing Reverse Bicep Curl, and Lying Bicep Curl.
Day 2 - Lat Pull-Down, Bent Over Row, Tricep Pushdown, and French Press.
Day 3 - Squat, Standing Leg Curl, Standing Calve Raise, Shoulder Press, Lateral Raise.

Watch your video for proper form or go here http://www.thecrossbow.com/crossbow/65_exercises.html

Do this for a month and then switch the exercises up. Remember to start easy, go slow, and use proper form!
