Greer Childers developed Body Flex over 20 years ago out of frustration with being a size 14 to 16 no matter what exercise program she tried or what diet plan she followed. The Body Flex program combines aerobic breathing with resistance and is designed to be done while sitting down. Body Flex can be done in less than 20 minutes per day, all while sitting on your couch and watching your favorite television program. Once you've learned the secret of Body Flex breathing, the exercises are easy to follow and there are no complicated machines to put together. Product includes: Getting Started Losing the Inches Video, The Workout Just Minutes a Day Video, Gym Bar with Resistance Band, Tape Measure, Nylon Carrying Bag, Quick Start Guide.

I've owned this product for years and absolutely love it. It's the only exercise program that I've been able to stick with and the only one that I've lost weight and inches with. The only challenge I have with it is that it's hard to do with people/family around because of the faces that you make. I've just ordered the [] because it's only 7 minutes!!

I have used this product faithfully for about 10 years. Anyone who says it does not work, didn't do it right, or didn't do it enough. This is a total workout that really works. I definately saw inches melt away, but the most beneficial aspect of the program to me, is the muscle tone. Over the years, I have increased the reps and truly feel that I am as strong and fit as I can be given my age and the effort I am willing to expend. Really, try this product and give it an honest chance. I don't think you will be dissapointed.

This is a wonderful product. Not only does it help keep you in shape it helps you to relax. I used this product years ago and then got too busy with work and home and socializing. Now I am retired and have just started the program again. I would like to see the results before I would share with the news.

I bought the original Bodyflex when I was 18 (I'm 24 now). I tried it but I never really committed..I'd do it for 7 days and then I wouldn't do it for a long time. I don't remember ever actually seeing any results though. I'm sure it works or why else would so many people say it does..unless their inch loss is simply because of the increased water intake...If you don't drink enough water normally and then you start drinking proper amounts you will notice inch/weight loss just from that. I need to get back in shape...and I don't have a lot of space so this exercise is really my only option unless I want to travel to the gym. IO'm going to give it another shot.

Hi, I posted a note on the newer bodyflex awhile back. Well I ordered the VHS tapes from [] a year ago. They set on the shelf till last month. I am talking about her FIRST bodyflex VHS. I got results faster from the VHS then from the Gymbar. Better yet my weight is staying stable for the first time in YEARS. I am overweight but I would jump from 220 to 240 all the time. I am now steady between 220 to 223. My sugars are also getting better. I am so excited as Sunday before church I pulled out a pair of pants that I could not wear for over 2 year a size 18 they are now LOOSE on me despite no real weight loss just inches lost my but is even smaller yea. I know Bodyflex has gotten bad press but it really DOES work. It DOES look silly but I dont care it is short and works. Good luck.

I tried this product recently on the advice of a friend who urged me to try it. Though initially i was very skeptical about the product doubting it, I have to say that it has surpassed my expectations. I've gone down 1 dress size, lost about 10 inches in total, 4 inches off waist and still losing. Though i've only lost 5 lbs according to the scale, I've actually lost much more since 1 inch is equivalent to 2.2 lbs. For the past 5 yrs I've also had a slow metabolism losing weight at the pace of a slug, so I can attest to the fact that it really does work providing you do the correct breathing & really suck in your tummy as tight as possible when doing your exercises. I think that those people who didn't achieve any results likely didn't do it correctly or give it a chance for a longer period of time.

I started practicing BodyFlex 5 years ago. Soon I stopped getting sick. I have not got a cold since 2002. Eventually I got lazy and cut down exercise time. Now I do it for about 3-4 minutes every morning. It's normal for me to do with 5-6 hours of daily sleep and still feel good. It was unreal how good I felt during my second pregnancy. I continued doing the exercises and never felt fatigued. I was scaring people running down the stairs in my ninth month. I wanted to have natural birth the first time but it did not work. The second time all I did in labor was BodyFlex breathing. Zero medication but the pain was so tolerable.

I bought the original vhs tape several years ago just out of curiosity because I wanted to see for myself if it worked. I laughed at first and took a couple of tries to actually get serious about it. But to my surprise I went from a size 18 to a size 12 in less than three months. Honestly I was shocked. But it's actually not as easy as it looks. If you breathe correctly then you will definitely see results. Well I got lazy of course and went back to a size 18 but am using it again and planning on sticking it to it! Just like any excersice you have to continue doing it! IT REALLY REALLY WORKS!

I tried It when It first came out. I had my hubby measure me & In the first week I lost 1/2 Inch.I ate what I wanted & didn't diet. Yes, It looks weird but so does Yoga & other exercises done at a gymn. But since I'm at home doing It by myself, who cares how it looks? What matters Is that It works. One must try It first In order to give a fair critique.

I tried Greer's workout in 2003 after my second child and lost several inches. unfortunatley I got pregnant again and had to quit. I haven't tried her new stuff yet but her old dvd works really well. I have started it again now that my fourth child is old eneough to know not to grab my band which I use instead of the bar. It doesn't so mush strain in mt shoulders.

I lost 40 pounds in 6 months using the original bodyflex tape. I used it once per day and wathched what i ate. I also purchased the next one with the body bar but i did not find it as effective. Yes it looks silly but honestly who cares as long as it works. I can only speak for me and the orginal works!!

I tried this system at the recommendation of a friend a few years ago. Plain and simply...I couldn't make it through it, at least to take it seriously. It's more than a little weird. It may work, who knows. If you can watch the whole thing without feeling like a total freak and/or laughing out loud, good luck. I'll stick with yoga.

I first had the vhs back in 1999. It was 1 year after my 2nd child. I did not diet and I followed the instructions. By week 2 I had lost inches. After a month a 2 small skirt was 2 big. After that I continued to lose inches and went from approximately a size 12 to a size 6. Everyone I knew kept commenting on how small I was getting. I stopped doing it with my 3rd pregnancy. Of course I have the original routine memorized. I never did work the routine back into my life, like I had in 99. This is something that I know for a fact worked for me without dieting. I have again made body flex a priority twice a day. I know it will work. With body flex I feel this good heat sensation throughout my body that almost feels like I'm burning fat or my metabolism is speeding up. I feel like I have a lot more energy too.

I bought BodyFlex two years ago, but never used it. After I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, the doctor told me to lose weight. I needed lots of exercise, low-carb diet, and more sleep. I went with BodyFlex as my exercise of choice. In one year, I have lost 40 pounds, and have gone from a size 16 to a size 4 or 6. BodyFlex was a big part. Deep breathing DOES work physiologically when reducing. I'm not talking miracles. I'm talking hard work. BodyFlex was ONE of the many variables I used to feel and LOOK better -- not to mention much improved blood glucose numbers. There's no free lunch, and frankly BodyFlex doesn't promise a "free lunch". If you don't want to break a sweat -- fine, stay fat. But if you want to make changes for the better, then change your lifestyle, your bad habits, and start using BodyFlex. Hopefully you'll get the same results I did.

I purchased the first Bodyflex VHS. I didn't do the program with a diet, but I saw results! I didn't measure the loss with a measuring tape, I went by my clothing. I started out about a 16 and in 4 months, I was a size 12. It was great! I did the program in the a.m. and p.m. before bed. Doing the program in p.m. helped with the morning stiffness. Hey, when the low carb craze hit, I went low carb with Body Flex and the results were even better. The results last for awhile, but like everything else...use it or lose it. I'm not sure about the her new program on DVD, but I'm back at a size 16 and I plan on using the tape ASAP.

Wow, I couldn't stop laughing. The lady looks like a loon, I am sorry. I showed it to friends just for a laugh. The body bar was hard to put together and not very effective compared to bands, etc. Poorly made and did nothing for me. The meal plans were pretty good, and I like some of the recipes Overall, I think it's a joke, and there are better programs out there!

I started using this product when it first came out years ago and it definitely works. I went from a stomach hanging out to an hour glass figure in about a month only doing the exercises. All my co-workers at the time were shocked. One firend tried it but didn't want to continue the exercises every day. Over the years I have used it to help get me back in shape quickly and to de-stress me before a community theatre show performance. While I haven't used it in years, I just started up again this morning. I know it will work. I only hope I have the perseverance to make it a daily routine. Many many thanks to Greer Childers.

I used the original bodyflex VHS tape and did all the careful measurements after 6 days. It really worked (total inches added together from waist, thighs, hips & upper arms equaled 12 inches. The breathing techniques could be a problem for people who are asthmatic because the sudden intake of air and deep breathing. It is highly unusual and takes motivation to do at 5 or 6 am. The reason I believe the newest release will be my answer, is because I will not have to get down on the floor. Based on my first experience being successful, I would ask readers to remember, it is like everything else. It will work if YOU work. It will not work if YOU don't work.

I purchased this product about a year ago and stuck with it for about three weeks & saw nothing. I felt like it was working but nothing in inches or the scale. The truth is, I just can't eat some of the food on her meal plan & neither can my family. Maybe that's where I went wrong. I won't try it again.

I bought this several years ago and just now came across this sight, so I thought I would add my 2 cents. Save your money on this. Yeah you think you are doing good with the bar, but in the end thats all it is, would be cheaper to buy some bands. I even received a refund from the fraud department on this. Honest reveiw here, lets see if it makes it. SAVE your MONEY
