Total Gym Exercise Review

My Total home gym experience began when I bought one after seeing it on television about 10 years ago. For me, exercise has to be fun or I'll get bored and give up. This total body fitness gym delivers with a workout designed to give you a full body workout in about 20 minutes. I obtained the best results myself by doing my workout 3 times a week and sometimes I'd jump on it while watching television on my days off just because I liked it so much. I sold my Total Gym on Ebay after getting a pilates machine, but I have to admit the Total Gym is easier and more fun to use. That was one time I shouldn't have opted for the next trendy fitness machine that showed up on television because I really regret selling my Total Gym. It's user friendly and believe me even doing squats is great because it is easy on the joints and you can feel it toning your legs and butt which to me is very motivating knowing that these stubborn areas are being lifted. The bench is put in an incline position, so your back is supported. Your feet are kept sturdy by a nice platform and all you do is bounce up and down, pushing up with the resistance of your own body weight. There are so many ways to do squats, with your feet turned outward or inward, one leg at a time, fast or slow, the options are endless! It amazes me how many repetitions I can do on the Total Gym. You'll have a toned body in no time! I also love how I can use it like a pilates machine - great for stretching to get that long lean look. Total Gym takes care of your aerobics routine too, all in one machine. You will work up a sweat and build that much needed cardio strength. There is an awesome exercise for every part of the body. The Total Gym works many body parts at the same time, which makes it a very cool piece of equipment. Abs, arms, chest, you name it the Total Gym works you from head to toe. Many people are looking to build muscle. The Total Gym has you covered in this area too, as you set your body resistance by how high you incline the bench. Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley certainly have maintained a great looking body by using this total fitness gym as their main source of exercise. He has very nice muscles and Christie is well toned for a woman in her fifties. The Total Gym doesn't take up a lot of room, folds away easily, but you'll most likely leave it out all the time like I did. I used to put on some of my favorite music and sometimes I'd workout longer than intended. It's worth the money and is made of great quality. If I ever buy another Total Gym, I will buy from Ebay because there is a huge selection of great deals musch less than buying direct. You can get a brand new Total Gym XLS for less than I paid for mine 10 years ago!
